Banggood.com... Is it as Dirty as it Sounds?

2013-09-08
the arc MIDI r2 by fractal design features massive air flow and highly flexible liquid cooling support click now to learn more welcome to an unboxing of a fairly eclectic set of products here these are from banggood.com which is not as bad as it sounds so you can safely go there however it should be noted that the name isn't entirely misleading because they do sell intimate apparel and sex toys and all those kinds of things but that is not don't worry no no don't have to get away from the video yet that is not what we're going to be talking about we're going to be looking at a few of the different things so they have kind of weird electronics they also have some keyboards okay so like some gaming gear and stuff and other just completely random stuff so of course you'll have been led here by the thumbnail of me with like boxes in like oh I got a worth it on and anyway they actually contacted me about taking a look at some keyboards and I was like although um can you send me a horse head as well and they're like alright yeah I guess anyway let's start with the flash get g600 keyboard so this is just one of the keyboards that they have I picked out this one because I thought it was kind of unique compared to what we can typically get our hands on here in North America so it's not the highest end keyboard by any stretch of the imagination so it does not unfortunately have backlit keys but what it does have is an aluminum backplate so it actually feels extremely solid so here if you guys check out my flex test I mean obviously there's almost none even with me wrenching on the keyboard which is what you've come to know you'll come to expect from an aluminum built keyboard it also has a very unique color to the key cap so they're translucent red G caps with that said that they do have printing right on the top so I wouldn't expect the numbers and letters to last as long as some of the other technologies that are available for printing key caps this particular one has a 10 keyless design although there are a number of other unique keyboards that they have available there so there's rubber feet on the bottom this I like to see this rubber feet implementation on the risers at the back that allows it to still stay attached securely to the table whether they're in the down or up position it's got a removable cord so you can actually decide how exactly you want that cable managed whether you want it coming directly out of the back of the keyboard or if you want it to go somewhere else all you got to do is plug this in and then it has a little piece right here that sits wherever you might happen to want it to come out so I'm just go like that and that'll lock it in place real nice just like that my friends all right so now is where we get into the next selling point of this particular keyboard not is the fact that it comes with a full set of replacement key caps which is this is the first time I've seen this again it's sort of those differences between the different markets where who knows in Asia maybe this is a common thing that you get a full set of black key caps with your silver and red keyboard maybe it isn't a common thing I have no idea what I do know is that it has built-in media controls and other than that not a whole lot of extra functionality like programmable macros or anything like that but there you have it we can completely replace these if we so desired let's go like that unfortunately oh look at that it doesn't include a key cap puller well hopefully if you're a keyboard dork like me you already have a key cap puller but oh yeah I guess another idea is you could you can make like a Canadian keyboard and like put a bunch a little bit of black accents and get a red and white thing going on anyway next up so they do have some other sort of weird cool electronics so this is the W 100 sq R series this was actually one of the other things that they actually wanted me to talk about and this one can be controlled the reason I picked this one is because it can be controlled with a supported device so I believe yep so there's an app available on the App Store so I'll show it off with the iPad but it is also compatible with spectrum based radios so I have a spectrum crap what is it dx6i or something along those lines to dxn something something like that anyway I have the spectrum radio so I've never actually flown a quadrocopter other than the ar.drone so I've certainly never flown one with a radio I've always are with a transmitter I've always used adlet our smartphones I just kind of wanted to try it out so I said yeah sure I'll have a look at this one so it supports iPhone iPad products with the required with the Wi-Fi module supports okay yeah yeah oh yeah it has a built-in camera with a first person view functionality so let's go ahead and pop it open so obviously it's no ar.drone but what it does have going for it is that it is smaller and lower cost and of course due to its smaller nature it has less momentum when it crashes so I would expect it to do reasonably well in crashes with nice flexible propellers as well as this is actually kind of smart color-coded front and back propellers this is going to allow you to clearly and easily orient yourself against sort of where the device is probably pointed when you're under it or looking at it from far away so you'll know which way is forward and which way is back it charges using I have no idea because I haven't gotten that far yet this is the first time I've taken it out of the box and I'm not making any progress while I sit here and try to stall for time and we figured it out so there's a little panel in the top here on the bottom rather that just pops out like this well whatever it's popped out now so don't worry too much about it here's the antenna for the receiver and then also in here we find a battery 3.7 volts 600 million power battery that slots into here when you're running and then an included charger for said battery alright and finally whatever the devil this is bind plug oh okay and then also full instructions include and look about a user's manual on disk so much like other Wi-Fi enabled remote control devices you connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot that is actually created by the quadrocopter so in this case it was wk zero nine seven one zero one zero eight then you can launch the app all right so we got the we got the aircraft put together with some helpful googling we were able to figure out that it's the wk Remote app because it doesn't say anywhere on the packaging or anything it should be noted that I got a little bit confused by some of the documentation because there are two separate versions one is the Wi-Fi version which you can only fly with an iOS device the other is the fpv advanced control version so I don't think without changing over the module I can actually fly this with the spectrum remote like I was hoping to so there you go the camera in the front is actually better than I expected so there's a pinhole camera right there and I've got the app open right here so you guys can have a look at approximately what it looks like so yeah it's it's only an iPhone version of the app so you have to run in 2x mode here what gets b-roll but yeah let's go ahead and let's take it outside and go for test flight well let's see if I can handle this you can apparently either use gyroscopic control or joystick control so well apparently that's not it okay so takeoff is here nope er Barbie my throttle hmm fascinating do I need the power button perhaps heard something over there okay oh there it goes alrighty then okay let's set her down for a second okay took a little while to to connect there evidently okay so this guy right here is there we go gonna be throttle let's go up a little bit shall we let's go a little bit of whoo oh hey okay so I've got the OBE so I've got the gyroscopic control going on now which is going to make this a lot easier to fly however you're still going to want to be careful with the throttle there because unlike the AR Drone this does not have height adjust so you get a you got to find your own neutral point when it comes to lifting off or coming back down and it can pretty much go as high as it can go I can tell you already that the AO the white and orange propellers are definitely important for orienting this device visually so let's go ahead let's have a look at what kind of speed we can get out of it so there's forward there's back oh please come down not that fast you got this you got this buddy okay let's go visit b-roll hey oh okay we're not going to quite quite visit him that close whoa please don't crash oh okay huh pretty intuitive pretty uh interesting to fly whoa no I imagine it would take me a little while to get the hang of it but there you have it guys I don't know why don't we crash it and see if we can break it I mean that's what you guys pay me good money to do right break things come on buddy you can do it so there is a power button so you do have to actually power the quadrocopter on in order to get it to go I wonder if I managed to break it already oh well that flipped the orientation of the thing here so quick reset and we're back in action still using the gyroscopic control so let's go ahead and I don't know let's give her about a ten-foot fall and see what happens cut the power Oh didn't cut the power good enough okay let's try that again oh I flipped the orientation again so power onto the device and boom go go lift oh and oh don't go to the neighbor's yard cut the power all right not bad it manages to stay upright so I think that pretty much wraps it up thank you for checking out my unboxing and overview of the well variety of things
