Destroying the BEST Camera Charger so YOU Don't have to
Armando Ferreira
0:08 The response on Power Vault has been insane and you
0:12 guys have a lot of questions and some concerns.
0:14 So, in this video, I'm going to try to attempt
0:17 to destroy Power Vault and put it through some insane stress test.
0:22 So, let's go ahead and begin.
0:26 These things are going to pop off.
0:28 No, they're not.
0:29 They lock.
0:30 So, I'll show you.
0:30 Yes, it's magnets, but it's got a locking mechanism.
0:34 I'm literally going to hold it from the snap plate.
0:36 Look at this.
0:37 I can hold it.
0:38 It's not going anywhere.
0:39 I have to physically depress this so that it unlocks.
0:43 And to further demonstrate this, I've got two Vmounts, a heavy one,
0:47 a 150, a small Nano 150, and some snap ones.
0:51 Okay, where they also lock.
0:53 And what I'm going to do is I'm going to toss this around.
0:56 I'm going to move this around.
0:57 I'm going to shake this.
0:59 I'm going to take it on a spin.
1:01 I'm going to move it around.
1:03 I'm going to jog with it and move with it.
1:07 Okay.
1:07 Move it around.
1:12 Take it for a spin.
1:13 All right.
1:15 Let's see what happened.
1:17 Well, you look at that.
1:19 Nothing happened.
1:20 They're in place.
1:22 Your Vmounts, all your batteries are secure.
1:25 Another question that I've been asked is,
1:27 can you charge other manufacturers batteries like
1:29 the big Anton Bowers 150, the Titan ones?
1:32 And the answer is yes.
1:33 You can charge any type of battery.
1:34 Small rig, Anton Bower, uh, ZGCini, as you can see here.
1:38 Even with the 150, there's still plenty of space.
1:42 We're using a ZGini X22,
1:44 which is kind of the equivalent of like the small rig battery with Caleb Pike,
1:48 though, like the really big one.
1:50 We also have one of Cor's gold mount,
1:52 the G3, which is more on the chunkier side.
1:54 Again, plenty of space and you can even close it without any problems.
1:59 So, here's a funny one.
2:00 The folks over at Matthews, the people that make seastands, apple boxes,
2:04 and a whole bunch of other cool accessories, asked me if I can uh step on it.
2:08 You can see there's no support here.
2:09 There's nothing inside the box.
2:10 I don't want people to think I filled it up with things.
2:13 And look at this.
2:14 We'll just drop it in here, step on it, jump on it.
2:19 Yeah, it's very strong, sturdy,
2:22 and even if you like drop it and like it's not going to break.
2:27 Oh yeah, some people were concerned about this the port breaking.
2:31 Let's actually drop it.
2:32 I I know that's what you guys came here for, right?
2:34 Let's drop it so it breaks.
2:37 Oh, that landed right on the freaking charge port.
2:40 Okay.
2:41 Oh, look at that.
2:42 And you can see it landed on there cuz it got a little scuffed,
2:45 but no, didn't break.
2:46 Let's try to break this guy.
2:48 Okay.
2:49 Again.
2:49 Oops.
2:50 I'm gonna walk and then Oops.
2:54 Dang it.
2:54 Hold on.
3:00 And one more time just for fun.
3:02 Let's just throw it on the actual charge port.
3:04 Boom.
3:05 Oh, I know.
3:08 That freaking hit it right on the rock.
3:11 Look at that.
3:12 Oh, let's see.
3:13 Let's not cut.
3:16 Will it charge?
3:18 Okay, let's turn this on.
3:21 Okay, let's plug it in.
3:24 We don't want to cut here.
3:25 We don't want people to think this is fake.
3:27 Let's grab a Vmount.
3:29 And let's grab this guy.
3:31 Actually, doesn't matter.
3:32 We'll grab this one.
3:33 And it's charging.
3:37 This actually came off, but look at that.
3:39 It's charging.
3:41 I want to break this freaking port.
3:43 So port break freaking port break.
4:05 All right.
4:06 Where's the port break?
4:08 Break.
4:09 Break.
4:11 Let me tell you something.
4:12 If you abuse your power volt like this port, remember the port's right here.
4:25 Another port.
4:30 All right.
4:31 Does it still charge is the question.
4:34 All right.
4:35 Let's see.
4:37 Does it plug in?
4:38 We're going to blow up right now.
4:40 Still plugs in.
4:44 Does it still charge?
4:47 Still charging.
4:48 13%.
4:50 Yep, still charging.
4:52 That's crazy, dude.
4:54 Let me bring another battery.
4:56 Oh, 14.
4:57 See, never mind.
4:57 It just showed 14%.
4:59 I don't want people to think it's not charging.
5:00 It literally switched in real time.
5:03 This once again, we could fix this.
5:06 This is just cosmetic.
5:08 The case itself can't be destroyed.
5:11 All right.
5:12 You know what we need to do?
5:16 Go get the hammer, bro.
5:17 Go get the hammer.
5:24 It's hammer time.
5:26 We're going to bash this port.
5:28 First of all, I want to show you that little
5:31 bumps like this, like like this is not going to damage.
5:34 Look, I'm actually going pretty hard.
5:36 Look.
5:43 made out of metal.
5:45 Oh, it's not durable.
5:48 It's not durable.
5:49 Okay, here he goes.
5:55 I'm just soon as I set it down, if it gets power, there it is.
5:59 Power.
6:02 I can't destroy the freaking power vault.
6:05 Okay, Santi, do you think we should run it over?
6:09 Yeah.
6:10 Okay, I think that's gonna be the next.
6:12 Let's try to break the port first and then we'll run it over.
6:15 Okay.
6:33 All right, I want to All right, let's see if it still works.
6:41 Let's plug it in.
6:43 Oh, I hear some I hear some stuff in here.
6:46 Let's Let's open it up.
6:48 Okay, again, we can fix this.
6:51 Just got bent, but let's plug it in.
6:53 Hopefully, we don't blow blow ourselves up here.
6:56 Okay, plug this guy in.
7:01 All right, moment of truth.
7:04 Will it charge?
7:06 Can you see that?
7:07 Can you see?
7:07 Here it goes.
7:09 Oh, did I finally break it?
7:12 No, still on backlight.
7:15 Look, still working.
7:19 There it is.
7:20 Here.
7:20 Can you see it?
7:21 14%.
7:23 It's charging.
7:24 And to show everybody, let me grab the app.
7:27 This is crazy, bro.
7:28 Here, let me grab the app.
7:32 Just leave it on there.
7:33 So, maybe it'll switch to 15%.
7:36 Hold on.
7:37 Where is the app here?
7:42 Let's Let's show them with the app.
7:44 Okay.
7:45 What is this?
7:45 This is on the box.
7:47 What is this?
7:47 Four, too.
7:48 I forgot.
7:52 Four.
7:50 Four.
7:51 Okay.
7:52 Okay.
7:52 There it is.
7:54 14%.
7:55 What does that say?
7:56 Charging.
7:58 It's communicating.
7:59 And to show you that it's real, I'm going to disconnect it.
8:02 Oh, you can even see the light right there, dude.
8:03 Look.
8:04 You see a little red flashing light?
8:05 Let me know if you can see it.
8:07 It's right up here.
8:07 Can you see that?
8:09 Oh, yeah.
8:09 Yeah.
8:09 Yeah.
8:09 You see it?
8:10 You see it?
8:10 You see it's charging?
8:11 I don't want people to think I'm faking this, right?
8:14 So, look.
8:14 And to show it's even real, I'm going to disconnect it from here and watch.
8:17 It'll show there's nothing there.
8:19 Give it a few seconds.
8:20 The app's got to populate.
8:22 Give it a few seconds.
8:23 Come on.
8:24 Come on.
8:25 There it is.
8:26 Boom.
8:26 All right.
8:28 So, we're going to run it over soon,
8:30 but that's just to show you how strong Power Vault is.
8:33 If you were to drop it,
8:34 accidentally bump into something, you're not going to damage it.
8:36 You're not going to break it.
8:37 It's going to work just fine.
8:39 I mean, technically still works.
8:41 Just a little bit of cosmetic damage,
8:42 but aside from that, it works perfectly fine.
8:45 So, if you guys are interested in picking one up,
8:47 there's only a couple of days left to take advantage of that pre-order pricing.
8:51 So, I highly recommend if you're interested,
8:53 pick one up now because this is only for the first 500 people and then
8:57 after that price will go up and of course you get those three plates for free.
9:02 Now, the last thing to do is run it over with the Cybertruck
9:05 because my mission coming to this video was to destroy the Power Vault.
9:09 And if it can survive the the Cybert truck, then I don't know what to tell you.
9:12 Anyway, let's go run this thing over.
9:34 Where'd it go?
9:38 Let's see.
9:41 It just got bent.
9:43 Question is, does it still work?
9:48 Or is it broken?
9:50 Oh, look at that.
9:53 I think I think we finally broke it.
9:56 Actually, when I get home, I'm going to test it.
