meshtastic optimus THE TRANSFORMER!

right so let's do a case review of our own case this video is sponsored by well us because it's our case now a few of you have got um htech nodes versions all of you lots of you and you know how power hungry they are and how good they are so uh we thought we'd get together with alakat in the states who you know is doing a few cases one or two and Scott from our Discord and make our own case so design by Alat printed by Scott chicken only available on the store and that's kind of a chat about it so you've all got these you've seen these little orange boxes orang in it there's millions of these out there absolutely literally millions of them and you know they're not bad they're not bad at all to be fair you know the power hungry you know the pros you know the cons and we' we've done a lot of them to be fair we still got these available on the store right there's plenty in stock more often than not when htech send them they come with this case Okay um and you know straight away the nine times out of 10 the antenna you get with it it doesn't fit and it's nasty and there's no space for a battery but it was a kind of a freeb and if you want any of these let me know they strangely sent me about 50 of them and they're worth a couple of quid you want them they there over here this picture over here over here over here is the design for the new case it's a very pretty render that's available on the store um waiting for some product shots Scott so we wanted to go down the Road of our own case because there's lots of cases out there that are available and you've all seen these Bender case Chris Ridley's and probably the best selling case of pretty much all time I'm going to say to be fair sold about a thousand of them all over the world and they're good and we've also got these on the store these are on a deal actually at the moment um where you can basically buy the case when you buy a htech node the second page of the products buy the both together Bender case proven solid nice for the kit U and also you get a deal if they buy the both things together is it good right I mean I've got one or two I've actually got about 50 in stock 25 than you these are pretty good so it's time to make your own and make it your own and nobody say links this rout because that upsets me a lot and I'm not really supposed to show these because the product samples so Scott's probably going to rage quit when he sees the fact that I'm showing these on a video because he's the product samples and there you go so essentially right orange version as well this is our case okay now it's called the Optimus because Optimus is a Transformer right it's play on words and it's quite a monster so if I get that and put that there and then I get that that there you can see how big it is but there's a reason for that and that's because htecs are terrible on battery usage right this one's actually got the correct new logo on it as well this is huge the node itself fits up here okay this section is purely about battery storage So within it you can run 28650 batteries because it's a hell token it's going to need it um or a very big lipo you can run either okay anten wise SMA pretty much poor you wanted but it does something that's tricky very tricky it does this so I'm going to take that here and essentially do this with it and then it sits like that now that's clever a it so essentially stand up lie down which ever version you want okay and I literally a not and a bolt on the other either side USB connction on side big buttons that all come with it two nodes in one R it put it with a nice aerial and Scott's doing these antennas I think this guy's called P2 or something like that but these are the nice little antennas that we do with them and he's doing them in all types of colors and stuff as well got this sort of weird green like sparkly that no lighting trick going on there that is genuinely the way that they are do like they they are nice and the Finish because it's Aly carton is quite picky when it comes to cases is nice right even these are pre-production samples they're pretty nice okay I do like the blue one and even though people are saying it's a you know it's a lynx's router if you're over the age of 40 you know what a lynx's router is wrg 52 I've got one in the Loft um but they're nice and essentially they will take a big battery very big battery and they'll run for quite a period of time and the design detail of these is pretty good to be fair the ridges on the front the big buttons um they're quite nice it's singly one screw that goes was in there USB on the other side I mean I built it right it built it in seconds and SC won't appreciate this but I'm going to show you the inside so that's the size for the battery compartments B dark in them you've got an idea right um and the htech node piece literally goes in there these are not flimsy either can we just clarify that this I'm not going to break this on the stream you're not going to break this right they're designed to be thick alikat knows her stuff and she's making these know that they're solid and he's also doing different materials as well so this pla thing everybody keeps banging on about where it melts if you leave it in a car at 60° I melt if you leave me in a car at 60° what you want me to say but you know for house noes on the side they're a nice piece of Kit other stuff oh a black front for it as well I quite like this carbon look all so You full stealth note black harbon type effect and that's that's shiny you can either have black and shiny or elte beige who wants that who wants that now if you're going down the road or something a bit further and you want your Optimus alter case to be a bit more fancy I give you this okay because some people want to do c messages and stuff so Scott's also doing this with the rotary encoder got RM on there how nice is that like that this is an option okay they're nice now you can only buy these through our store for look at the Empower 247.com store uh on the front page it's not other the products it's literally on the front page scroll down click the button and that gives you a private link to Scotts store okay they're in stock have a chat with him tell him what color combinations you want where you go so that's our case so if you want to make this look like I find the right one this actually have a battery that lasts longer than 35 seconds then her over to the store and have a look yes they're on the website if you've not seen our website there it is it's literally scrolled down that page any a way you go also on the store currently um are links to our free mestic map which is still going strong I'm quite happy to say um and yeah it's doing well uh what else is on the store at the moment well I'm going to say aside of this it's nice advert that isn't it SC did that um also available in the store we've still got in stock kup capat shs okay this on the store before anybody cries it's 2 hours that's how long the battery lasts yes I did St on to the top of drone yes it did last a couple of hours on low power and it works pretty well to be fair they're on the store they're in stock anything else that I need to cover nothing so the optimiz cases on the store head over going to have a look at it so is the Bender case and so are the Capal nodes the rack equipment all the rack equipment as the UK supplier for everything rack exclusive supplier is all hopefully accompany in the next couple of weeks when as soon as there a tracking number I'll put it up there you can go and have a look so uh thanks for watching happy mission for
