Tetrax Xway Line Magnetic GPS and Smartphone Holder Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2010-02-25
so today I'm gonna be doing a quick unboxing and product demo in the camera man's Beamer okay so this is a tetrax invisible attraction xwy line okay so I'm not even going to try to decipher the name because you can clearly see that this is not some of it is not English okay but here we have English GPS and smartphone holder then you see a couple of circles and then an X shaped bracket okay so let's go around to the back of the box where it's gonna explain a little bit how to use it if you could see past the 100% made in Italy sticker which I'm gonna try and remove on camera here so that you can there we go so you can see that the bracket actually attaches to your vents and then you can affix a phone or a GPS to it apparently without any hassle so we're gonna test it with the camera man's iPhone I'm gonna go ahead and start getting this box open here I'll play don't slip and slice the leather because apparently you know being a camera man is a pretty lucrative line of work these days okay so leather seats and iPhones I'm showing you my phone my phone is like ghetto look at this thing it's like Sanyo it's like not even a good Samuel form okay so we've got these little discs which have adhesive backing on them okay so there's the little disc it's got a bit of a shape to the top bit of a bump on the top of it there's a decent backing and it comes with two so it comes with a little tray that holds both of them that I totally accidentally ripped there and then it comes with the bracket itself so here is the bracket it's a soft sort of rubberized feel to it okay and then if I could figure out how to do this I would let's see if I can figure out how to how to open the bracket because I don't understand oh you know what I think it's as simple as this I think all that you do because you can see it rotates here all that you do is slide it onto the grill here and if I break it I'm sure he's gonna kill me so I'm gonna need just another moment figure oh it unscrews there we go brilliant okay so you unscrew it from the front and you can see that that widens the gap a little bit okay so I can press that together now and then it has like rubberized tips on it so it's not gonna slide anywhere so I can put that on if I unscrew it just a little bit more there we go now I've got that sitting on there really good okay so then you can tighten it up there it sits you can still adjust this not quite as much you can see it does block it a little bit so you might want to put it on a vent that you're not using all of the time and then with your smartphone or your GPS you take the little adhesive-backed thing and I haven't actually asked him I didn't explain how this would work so I didn't ask him if I can put this on the back I think it's quite a strong adhesive so hopefully he either uses this thing or he can get it off so I'm gonna try and Center it as best I can for him it's not moving anymore that was it okay so that's on the back of the iPhone now okay and then you put that's it so it allows you to use the device as like a hands-free sort of you know you don't have to open that actually holds really good too so you can see the shape right here is so that it fits into a little groove in the golden in the golden magnet so you can mount it supposing it was a GPS you could line it up properly for one thing and then you can mount it sideways or you could mount it this way that is actually pretty cool so thank you for checking out my unboxing and yep you can see this is like on there really good like look how much I can I can tug on this and finally it comes away so even if you were to brake or accelerate you know as fast as a BMW can not at all like my car then yeah that's that's actually really cool thank you for checking out my unboxing
