dave taylor here with my iphone 12 pro
0:14
now that means on the back i have
0:17
magsafe
0:18
now you might be thinking isn't magsafe
0:20
the way that the power plugs on the old
0:22
macbooks don't
0:23
pull the computer off if someone trips
0:26
the answer is
0:27
you're right but this is a different mag
0:29
safe there is a magnetic
0:31
ring put into the iphone 12 line
0:35
that in some accessories actually helps
0:38
align your wireless qi
0:39
charger so it gives you optimal power
0:42
but
0:42
it's also sort of an untapped resource
0:46
for iphone 12 owners enter fused chicken
0:49
now
0:50
i'm gonna have to tilt their cans down
0:51
because otherwise i know they'll roll
0:53
off
0:53
but the idea behind the fused chicken
0:56
lineup
0:56
is that they have the right magnet
1:00
so you can do things like
1:03
have this really slick car adapter
1:06
so let me start with at the top though
1:09
let's start with
1:10
this this unlikely looking device
1:13
is the air pods holder so here's a
1:16
close-up so you can see what the heck it
1:18
is but basically
1:19
you have your air pods pro you put them
1:22
in the holder
1:23
and then you can just put it on the back
1:24
of your phone or on any other
1:27
actual magsafe accessory now your
1:30
logical place to or sort of position for
1:33
this is to put it in like this
1:35
but then you can't open it because
1:37
there's nowhere for the back of that
1:39
lid to move to with this device
1:42
so somewhat unintuitively
1:45
you put it in backwards and now you have
1:48
a pretty cool setup here because
1:50
you have it where you can open it you
1:52
can get to your earbuds
1:54
but check this out i can just put it on
1:56
the back of my phone and now i know
1:58
exactly where they are
2:00
and it can operate as a stand
2:02
particularly sideways right it can
2:04
operate as a stand
2:05
so now i can actually like watch a movie
2:08
or something on my phone
2:10
or whatever it is that i want to do
2:12
pretty handy
2:13
now if you have this car mount you could
2:16
actually
2:17
do that you could actually have it on
2:19
your car mount so you know where it is
2:21
now odds are you're gonna put your phone
2:22
on your car mount but this
2:24
is the air pods holder it comes in six
2:27
colors and it also includes if we open
2:30
their
2:31
kind of weird packaging they have this
2:33
uns you know
2:34
screw top metal canister which
2:37
honestly as soon as you get the product
2:39
you're going to chuck the canister so it
2:41
doesn't seem super environmentally
2:43
friendly over a piece of cardboard
2:45
but it is interesting that's an
2:47
interesting container
2:49
now back to the airpods holder it comes
2:52
with
2:52
a wrist lanyard or leash and it also
2:56
comes with a teeny tiny little carabiner
2:58
so you can put it on
2:59
this little hook on the bottom and you
3:01
could actually just attach this to for
3:03
example
3:04
your backpack and now you know where
3:06
everything is and as needed you can just
3:08
go ahead and put it on the back of your
3:09
phone
3:10
using that magsafe connection pretty
3:13
cool
3:13
six different colors i'm going to get to
3:15
all the prices at the end so
3:17
bear with me next up is this
3:20
and this looks like it's like some sort
3:22
of ping pong paddle or something
3:25
or i don't know maybe a backboard for a
3:27
teeny tiny basketball setup but it's not
3:30
this is the tripod mount and it has a
3:32
quarter inch screw hole on the bottom
3:34
i will screw it into my little mini
3:36
tripod here
3:38
this happens to be the joby gorillapod i
3:40
really like these actually
3:42
but now i have this and you're like okay
3:44
well what does that get
3:46
me it gets me super selfie mode because
3:49
now i can just put my phone on here
3:52
or of course i can do it this way and i
3:54
am
3:55
ready to rock and roll i can either do
3:57
this to watch something if i really
4:00
want to do that or i can use this for
4:03
vlogging or doing selfies or whatever it
4:06
is i want to do
4:07
and of course i'm doing this with a tiny
4:09
little tripod you can use a full-size
4:11
tripod if you want to and when you're
4:14
ready to be
4:14
done all you have to do is literally
4:16
just take the phone off it actually
4:20
sort of moves to give you that optimal
4:23
placement which is really awesome
4:25
so my phone is now trying to close the
4:28
transaction
4:29
but there's the tripod like i said
4:32
tripod mount
4:34
the third one that i'm going to look at
4:36
is the phone dot
4:37
and this is basically these two little
4:40
discs
4:41
and they both do the same thing and it's
4:44
easiest to demonstrate by just sort of
4:46
taking our tripod and
4:49
putting that on there right so why would
4:51
you want to do that
4:52
because maybe you don't have an iphone
4:54
12 so you don't have that magsafe but
4:57
you still really like this whole line of
4:58
attachments
5:00
so you can put the sticky tape on one
5:02
side
5:03
stick it to your device your phone your
5:06
ipad
5:07
whatever else you want it could be an
5:08
android device and then with that on
5:11
here you then have access to all of
5:13
these different accessories
5:14
and it comes with two different versions
5:16
there's a leather version
5:18
and there's a plastic version and you
5:21
can sort of pick which one you prefer
5:23
it will sort of get in the way of qi
5:26
wireless charging if you have a really
5:27
powerful charger you can have this on
5:29
the back of your phone and still charge
5:31
but they say that you can simulate that
5:35
with 25 not 24 not 26 but
5:38
25 sheets of paper between your phone
5:41
and your wireless charger if your
5:43
charger works and your phone is charging
5:45
with all that paper there
5:47
then it will work with one of these good
5:49
to know right
5:50
and another one of these cans okay i
5:53
honestly i looked at this and i'm like
5:55
hmm
5:56
i'm thinking lip balm but no no lip balm
5:59
in there so
6:00
maybe fused chicken should sell lip balm
6:02
as part of the package
6:03
okay maybe not the coolest of all of
6:07
these though by far
6:09
is this this well this is the
6:12
rebel auto and it's a premium pivoting
6:16
car mount
6:16
and to demonstrate this i jumped into a
6:18
couple of different cars
6:20
and here's just sort of a montage of
6:22
photos
6:23
so you can see how it just basically
6:25
clips onto your air conditioning
6:28
vent and then has the flexibility to let
6:31
you
6:31
move around and adjust your phone to be
6:34
exactly where you want it
6:36
so works great i tried it on a bunch of
6:38
different cars that everything works
6:40
fine
6:41
and if you actually don't need that or
6:43
you don't like that kind of mount
6:46
then you can actually take off and
6:48
unscrew the vent mount
6:50
and now you have some more 3m sticky
6:52
tape so you could actually
6:54
tape this to your dashboard or of course
6:57
it doesn't need to be used in a car
6:59
right you can put this on the wall by
7:02
your computer or something
7:04
and then whenever you're actually at
7:06
your computer instead of having this
7:07
just sit on the desk or something you
7:09
can just put it on the wall and it's all
7:11
stuck and safe and ready to go and you
7:13
know exactly where it is
7:15
really handy i really like this because
7:17
i think that they've got a really nice
7:20
setup here
7:21
with having the vent mount and having
7:23
the sticky tape and everything gives you
7:25
a lot of flexibility
7:26
and if you decide you want to move it it
7:29
comes with an extra sticky mount
7:31
so you have a lot of flexibility okay
7:34
they actually just recently upgraded
7:36
this four mag safe so there's an older
7:38
version if you want magsafe for your
7:40
iphone 12
7:41
or because you have one of these
7:43
stickies then make sure that you get the
7:45
right version
7:46
so having said all of that let me just
7:50
say that
7:50
it is also a tiny bit interesting
7:53
that they have instead of a circular
7:56
magnet they have these
7:58
little straight magnets in this pattern
8:01
which makes it look a little rough
8:03
now to be fair when i run my hand over
8:06
there are no
8:07
sharp edges on these so there's nothing
8:09
that's going to
8:10
damage your phone but i do get a little
8:12
paranoid with my
8:13
you know eleven hundred dollar phone
8:15
that if i'm doing something like this
8:17
i really don't want it to be scratching
8:19
the back of my phone
8:20
i have experimented and tried these and
8:23
it doesn't do that
8:24
though it looks like it would so no
8:26
reason to worry there
8:29
and why is fused chicken called fused
8:31
chicken well
8:32
i'll let you do your own research on
8:33
that one i love the name
8:35
they make great cables and their
8:37
accessory lineup is clearly getting to
8:39
be
8:40
pretty slick so let's talk about those
8:43
prices
8:44
but before we get to the prices give me
8:47
some feedback give me a thumbs up if you
8:48
like this leave a comment telling me
8:50
what you
8:50
wish i would have shown or what i showed
8:52
and you really didn't care about
8:54
or which accessory you wish i would have
8:56
looked at and go ahead and subscribe to
8:58
my channel
8:59
really appreciate when you do that i get
9:00
access to a lot of gear
9:02
and i'm really candid and really honest
9:04
in my reviews which is hard to find here
9:06
on youtube so go ahead and subscribe
9:09
great all right let's go through the
9:12
lineup top of it
9:13
is this which is the airpods holder
9:16
airpods pro holder i should call it
9:18
and just to be clear airpod pro not
9:21
included
9:22
comes in six different colors 30 bucks
9:25
at fusechicken.com then
9:28
the let's see the go with these
9:32
these are the phone dot and the pack of
9:36
two will cost you twenty dollars
9:39
at fusedchicken.com and then the tripod
9:42
mount
9:42
tripod not included that's all these not
9:45
included right that's how it goes
9:47
so the tripod mount is thirty dollars
9:51
and finally the rebel auto is the only
9:54
one that's actually
9:56
not an even number it is 34.95
9:59
and of all of these i think this might
10:01
be my favorite i just
10:03
love the idea that i can access all of
10:05
that mag safe coolness
10:07
but be aware it's not a charger it
10:10
doesn't have any power
10:12
when you do this with your phone you're
10:13
not charging it in your car you just
10:15
have a mount so you can have it in a
10:17
good position
10:18
but for a lot of people that's perfectly
10:20
fine definitely worth checking out all
10:22
of these
10:23
go check out everything fused chicken
10:25
has pick up a new cable while you're at
10:27
it
10:27
i'm a fan i've always been a fan of the
10:29
company probably at least 10 percent
10:31
because of their cool name
10:33
but be that as it may i gotta go put my
10:36
car
10:36
i've gotta go put my mount back in my
10:39
car and my phone
10:40
on my mouth for my next test which means
10:43
i'll hope to catch you
10:44
in my next video
