HOW IS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE LaserCube?
REVIEWS AT A GLANCE
  • A portable battery powered laser projector that only uses lasers, unlike the small portable lasers available at the market which are 5 milli-watts, laserCube is estimated with 200 times more power. 
 
  • Great features such as laser lights, full color laser light shows using high-speed mirrors, laser with music features with the software program of LaserOS.
 
  • The animations of lasers in vector graphics can give amazing 3D effect graphics.
 
  • Good light show syncing feature with the laser animation to adapt on the audio beats of the music.
 
  • Battery powered with the life of the battery two to three hours which is good for a small laser projector.
 
  • Not wireless, need a USB connection - hence maybe a downside for some users.
  • Reviewed by many users as one of the coolest RGB laser projectors on the market with great features.
 
  • Compact size and easy to use features with a good LaserOS software app.
 
  • The laserOS application does not provide a timeline view hence the features maybe limited and may need other applications which the laserCube is compatible with.
 
  • Basic laser engraving feature but with an add-on focusing lens however the laser tool maybe too slow and below expectation of it’s performance.
​
  • Great gadget for visual artists.
 
  • Game play feature is not great due to bad controls and limited games although available.
​
  • LaserCube maybe highly powerful regardless of the compact size and very dangerous regardless of the multiple layers of safety gear - hence one needs to be very careful.
Picture
“The Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance – the distance from which a 1,000-mW laser can damage your eye in less than a quarter of a second – is 733 ft (224 m) away. You can even hurt yourself looking at the point where the laser hits the wood as you're etching it, it's so bright.” newatlas.com
SAFETY
LaserCube maybe highly powerful regardless of the compact size and very dangerous regardless of the multiple layers of safety gear - hence one needs to be very careful. With the safety class of 4, it can still burn balloons, skin and eyeballs. 

​It is also stated in the website that the higher power of 7.5W Ultra risks shattering the glass attenuating filter. Sudden breakage and the power then no longer being attenuated would be a safety hazard.

As a safety feature LaserCube has an internal automatic shutoff mechanism that will switch off your laser and disable battery charging if temperatures exceed 40C, however if you are using the laserCube safety measures needs to be practiced. 


SAFETY TIPS
  •  Not shooting lasers at people as it is still very powerful enough to light a match or pop balloons.
  • Laser beams striking aircraft can blind pilots hence it shall never be aimed at the sky.
  • Do not scan your audience without explicit approval granted from your regulatory body in your city or state. Check with local authorities before using a laser in public areas.
  • Its is also advised ignorer to use the gadget to attach it with a special safety dongle as stated by the newatlas.com​
​
“ To get the LaserCube going, you need to attach a special safety dongle, turn it on, then turn a separate safety key, then unscrew the shield from the front and let it drop out of the way, then hook it up to a laptop or a phone and turn it on.” newatlas.com
Picture
With the safety class of 4, it can still burn balloons, skin and eyeballs.

PERFORMANCE ON IT'S FEATURES
​Mostly reviewed as an excellent gadget for visual artists, LaserCube for it’s compact size and portability is also with its price. With vibrant and unique visuals, the software application that comes with the gadget is equipped with many animations, visuals and sonic visualisers. Although, the app is not handy for it’s limitation on usage and requiring precise attention to set it up due to the limited information in the explanation of interface, it performs good - average on Microsoft, MacOS, apple and android devices as per all reviews.
Picture
“Don't expect to show photos or videos with the LaserCube like you can with a conventional home or office projector; its three laser diodes are designed to show bright, colorful outlines rather than any sort of complex detail, which will usually just be shown as flashing, colorful streaks.
​
Vector graphics and cartoons are your best bet (animations are only supported in .svg file format, but LaserOS can load still images in .jpg, .bmp, .svg, .png, and .ild). You can also run through any combination of color and distortion effects for your images, which can inject splashes of color and surreality into the relatively simple projections.” pcmag.com
Picture
As researched on the performance of game play, many reviews indicate that the games available were not upto expectation and the performance was not good. As such, the engraving performance as well, as reviews indicates that the laserCube does an average job although very slow. 

The power of the lasers for it’s brightness and quality is the ultimate feature which many users give as the top feature of the gadget. The excellent range according to one review states 30 meters / 100 ft. resulted animation effects staying vivid and detailed.

The performance of battery for this little device is another key purchasing feature as per review. Hence if you are an visual artist, up for a challenge, LaserCube is an ultimate device for your test.
​

“You can create your own animations with software like MaxWell Synth, Modulaser or LaserShowXpress – it's compatible with all of these – or even try uploading images and converting them to laser art ... which has frankly sucked every time we've tried it, for whatever reason. You can grab a smoke machine and be a smartass by making laser harp strings float in the air, which you can use as a MIDI controller to make music.” newatlas.com

REVIEWS BASED ON ULTRA’S KEY FEATURES
THE DESIGN
​

The case size and weight of apple watch ultra is the largest size among the apple watches. Engineered to give the ultimate performance of a sports watch, apple markets the size as the biggest and brightest display built with the 49mm titanium case to give all the rugged and corrosion resistance making it ultra easy on the visibility and easy to use.  

Picture
“The screen is super bright, in fact, the brightest we’ve seen in any dive computer. Comparing it to the Shearwater computers, the Apple Ultra is almost twice as bright at around 10 feet of depth. As we descended deeper, this leveled out more, but still, the Ultra kept being the brightest of the bunch.” divine.com
Whilst this being the marketing strategy, almost all reviews we researched weights on the positive side of having a bigger display - regardless whether the user has a petite to medium hand size, reviews suggests that due to the lightweight of the watch, it's comfortable on the wrist and the large size outweighs the performance it gives. For instance, the aptness easy texting, readability - especially for those who have a poor sight.
Picture
Apple Watch Ultra scores as excellent on it's rugged built quality for its Titanium case.
“ The larger screen is great for readability. I’ve got bad eyesight, and a big screen means I can crank up the font size so it’s easier to read. (Though with a screen this big, nosy friends might be able to read your texts from a decent distance away.) It also makes texting via the wrist so much easier, especially compared to the typo city I’m used to with swipe to type on the 41mm Apple Watch I typically wear. If those are meaningful features for you or if you like the look of an oversized watch, then the Ultra will be right up your alley.” the verge.com
Picture
Three band types are available - designed to apt for the performance the apple intends to give in this ultra watch.

Sporting a rugged and modern design in all three, the Alphine Loop according to apple is specialised for outdoor adventurers giving a comfortable and extremely rugged but secure fit. This is the most popular band among the reviews we assessed.

The Trail Loop is designed especially for endurance athletes for runners, sports personalities with a stretchy and thin and light band with pull-tabs to make it easy adjustments on the go.

For sea sports and swim or diving activities, the Ocean Band option is available when purchasing the watch. Ocean band is marketed to adhere to the water activities streamlining even to what over a wetsuit with flexibility and stretch on the band.

​Most reviews on the rugged built titanium casing gives a total plus point for the watch’s endurance to withstand harsh and extreme conditions. Hence, on the design we conclude as a winner based on these reviews.
Picture

Another attractive feature is the specialised three types of band available for choice.
For divers, some reviews suggest, although the screen and case size is good, apple watch ultra is not the ultimate watch to rely on under water, due to the inconvenience with dive gloves to toggle through the screen without the back button.
​

As for testing the screen underwater - the reviews suggested Apple Watch Ultra as one of the best for it’s super bright retina display’s performance in the deep ocean. Reliable, easy to read at a quick glance were a must needed features when you are underwater - and the ultra delivered it all.
PERFORMANCE
​

The Ultra watch has the Li-Ion 542 mAh battery which Apple claims to give upto 60 hour on low power settings on full adventure. While this may be a little hyped, the result of our research gives us that the battery performance is great and some reviews states the battery performance exceeds their expectation as the ultra watch gives them 48- 55 hours of battery life on regular use without low power settings. While this may be not the case for extreme users of sports and divers.


On our research based on the user reviews, was on two types of users. One for normal users and other for athletes, sports and water sports users.

Our take on the reviews based on for normal users, the upgrade of battery lasts for 2 days on minimal use. Hence for people who uses the workout app thrice a week and has the lifestyle of work to home - the battery of no daily charge was on the plus side as it lasts for more than 2 days. 
Picture
In contrast to reviews such as marathon runners, the battery life and performance may not be this optimal, however ultra’s battery life reviewed as great for marathon runners to withstand a marathon on lower power mode - however this may also depend on the speed of your run. This being said, the estimate hours for apple watch ultra may  give 6 - 12 hours of battery life for a marathon run.

“If you’re an elite athlete who can run 100 miles in 13 hours, then yes, the Ultra will get you there and you probably won’t need to enable the battery-saving features. If you’re more of a back-of-the-pack runner who runs that same race in 40 hours, you’ll have to futz around with battery settings and even then it depends on your usage during the race. In general, I’d say stick to 6-12 hour ultramarathon races if you don’t want to bother with enabling low-power modes.” the verge.com

Battery life tested by a diver suggests that the ultra may give at least 2 - 3 long dives without having to worry about running out of battery. Hence one of the key significant feature of the watch is battery life - although other sports brands such as Garmin watches out performes in this feature in comparison to apple watch.
GPS Back Tracking & Automatic Activation
Picture
Auto-activation of some features does not work - such as underwater or back track features. Image: theverge.com

Apple claims the new redesigned compass to give the user the ultimate functionality of a sports watch such as evolution incline, longitude, latitude or compass waypoint to mark the location of your interest. Not only it to deliver these features, but with the GPS backtrack feature, the ultra watch is claimed to help you return to where you came from with ease. But does these features work flawlessly as claimed? Let’s find out what the tested reviews say below.

The reviews tested on these were not favourable for the auto-start on the GPS backtrack feature or the compass guiding to the waypoint. Reviews indicated the features did not automatically activate t on it’s own but had to manually start thus, resulting unreliable. The compass map as well tested by reviews of the verge.com resulted to give inaccurate directions hence an offline map shall be always on hand in case of any glitches. 


The GPS back-track feature was also not auto-activated, however, once manually start on the backtrack feature - it worked excellently. Therefore, these minor but very important miss are key when making your purchase since the Ultra watch does come with a price-tag.

Picture
GPS
On the positive side of the apple watch Ultra, Apple stepped ahead from most smart watches by integrating both L1 and L5 GPS for greater range and incredible power efficiency which is designed to provide better accuracy, distance and route calculations. This feature is apart from the battery performance is one of the best performed feature as almost all reviews indicates.
​

“…multiband GPS using both L1 and L5 frequencies is a big deal. Consumer GPS devices use the L1 frequency, but a handful of other rugged smartwatches like the Ultra, Coros Vertix 2, and the Garmin Fenix 7 lineup have also added the L5 frequency. There’s some neat science behind it, but the bottom line is that you’ll get better GPS accuracy in challenging environments like cities or in dense tree cover. One difference with the Ultra is that you don’t have to select multiband GPS in the settings. It just always uses it.” theverge.com

Picture
The reviews tested on these were not favourable for the auto-start on the GPS backtrack feature or the compass.
Picture
OCEAN+ APP
As for the features such as Ocean+App which was tested by a diver from The Verge the reviews once again were not so promising on the automatic activation at depth without manually setting with the action button. Hence, the auto-activation of these features lacks the promised performance as claimed by Apple although many reviews indicated apple watch to have great potential - perhaps in their future innovations. 

However, basic other functions needed on a dive watch such as nitros, air or depth information and ascent alarm on the ascending speed performance were delivered as tested by the Verge. Hence, we ruled out that for basic snorkelling or diving, although with little glitches such as the difficulty in toggling through the screen with dive gloves on without a back button - apple watch ultra’s performance were good although not excellent. 
​

All these features that delivers as a dive computer will only be accessible if you have the subscription for the App - hence its marked as a downside by some reviews.
​
“.. the Apple dive computer keeps things simple and accessible for a recreational diver that just wants to dive. In particular, a diver that’s part of a group and just wants to dive safely will find the Oceanic+ makes diving, well, easier.” divine.com
Picture
RUNNERS 
For Runners, Apple watch ultra although may not give the ultimate performance such as a Garmin, Apple Watch Ultra was indeed a unique and excellent watch to rely on giving a high performance with modern features and battery power. 


“During testing, I loved the Action Button just as much as I thought I would. I programmed the Action Button to take me straight to the workout function on the Apple Watch. If I wanted to, the button could take me right to an outdoor run, but as I often use my Apple Watch to track hikes with my dog, swims, and bike rides, I opted to go to the full list of workout modes.” tomguide.com 

For normal users, who would not rely on these pro features, our research indicated that features such as sleep tracker, Car App or the Alarm app and work out app were most popular and delivered excellent performance to it’s users.

SENSOR
The newest feature with the new GoPro Hero 11 Black is t larger sensor that is vertically bigger with the 8x7 spec ratio with 27megapixel shooting. The sensor also enables to be creative with the crop factors of your video for social platforms such as ticktock and youtube. Although GoPros tend to be weak on the low-light in comparison to other action cameras and smart phones, the new sensor unfortunately although with an improvement does not promise any impressive change. 

Another impressive upgrade with is the Hypersmooth stabilization from 4.0 to 5.0 allowing more sturdier recordings and intelligently zooming in when detecting shakiness. This coupled with 360 degree Horizon levelling is excellent feature to record and tilt the camera which ever way. Although horizon locking is yet only available in linear mode, it is so far an excellent upgrade especially to those adventurers and action videographers.

“GoPro Hero 11 comes with a new HyperSmooth 5.0 engine for better stability. As such I decided to test it out. My testing condition was a normal walking pace going down an empty road. I made sure not to rush a lot and maintain an even pace. I shot both videos in 5.3K @ 60FPS. After going through the before and after videos, I was blown away by the difference.” beebom.com

Superview upgraded with the new 8:7 sensor brings Hyperview mode in which the sensor is squeezed into 16 x 9 recording format allowing to capture wider videos. This could be easier to some recordings in tight setting. 

BATTERY LIFE

The new GoPro 11 comes with the rugged cold weather Enduro Battery with the same capacity 1720mAh in the box, unlike previously which was to be purchase separately. The improvement of battery performance gives maximum 2 hours of constant shooting - which again the battery duration depends upon the type or mode of shooting you are doing. 

“Taking the default use case—shooting 5.3K at 30 frames per second in sunny conditions—I was able to get one hour and 13 minutes of footage. That's much better than the standard battery that came with the Hero 10” - Wired.com


VIDEO RESOLUTION

With the new GoPro Hero 11, allows higher resolution still images from video being able to take 27 megapixel stills from the video. The option to shoot RAW images in burst mode unlike the only option available previously as JPEG, is another interesting upgrade. However, as many users, GoPro is used for video recording mostly and rarely for photos hence this feature may not be appealing to all.


In spite of the fact that, the new iteration comes with exciting features such as the new larger sensor, the video resolution may not be as impressive as one has hoped for, as there has not been much improvement compared to Hero 10. 


Hero 11 can record 5.3k videos upto 60 frames per second, and full frame recording in 4K video with no loss of resolution in both 4:19 or 9:16. 
Another addition is that recording in Slow-mo in 4K recording upto 240 frames per second. The outstanding feature is the ability to capture 27MP still images in high definition.

TRETTITRE TreSound1  Review

12/30/2022

Comments

 
Picture
TreSound 1 from Trettitre is a bluetooth high-fidelity portable speaker with 360 degree surround sound. Designed from the inspiration of mountain shape and form to deliver the sound quality at its best, the finishing of the design is then done by piano paint with metal etching and with an ambient light to accentuate the environment.

​With these stunning and unique design features, TreSound1 will stand out as a centrepiece of any place it is kept. However, it is key  that the speaker provides equally good audio performance along with revolutionary design.

Picture
Although TreSound is very new to the market, our take on the speaker is based on user based reviews and manufacturer’s feature information on the speakers audio performance together with it’s pros and cons.

KEY FEATURES AT A GLANCE
  • ​- Has a frequency response of 20Hz to 20KHz

  • Extreme audio at 24bit to 96Hz.

  • - Comes in three different glossy piano finish. White & Silver, Rose Gold & Black and Forest Green and Rose Gold.

  • - Mountain minimalist design with Piano paint finish with metal etching.
  • 360° sound experience .
  • 3Way speaker design & completely separate acoustic structure. 
  • Superior coherence, precise imaging, and neutral tone balance are its hallmark qualities. 
  • 1.25" silk film tweeter x2 + 2.25" full-frequency speaker x2 + 5.25" subwoofer x1. 
  • Support Qualcomm CSR aptX Bluetooth 5.1, which can transmit 24bit/96kHz audio

CAN TreSound1 DELIVER POWERFUL HI-FI AUDIO BEING A BLUETOOTH SPEAKER?
THE DESIGN  
​
​
Revolutionising the design of speakers in the industry TreSound 1 definitely delivers a premium design making it as a stunning centrepiece deco item in any room it is placed. It comes in three different glossy piano finish colours; white & silver, rose gold & black and forest green and rose gold.
Picture
Made with high density wood from Nordic Mountains and lacquer, which is said by Trettitre as the perfect technology combination for high-end pianos, eliminating any use of plastic in the design to deliver the high-fidelity audio at it’s best. 
Picture
The cone design allows the 360 degree sound. The top has an indicator light which lights in two colours; orange for pairing it with bluetooth and white if the auxiliary is cable plugged in.

​The orange light blinking means the bluetooth pairing mode and once it is connected, the orange light will turn solid. If not, it will be solid mode for auxiliary mode.

The light which is attached to the volume node can be rotated for volume up and down and clockwise to turn it on and once a soft LED lights will turn on at the bottom indicating the speaker is turned on.

Another key design feature you should be mindful is the speakers solid strong base. Although its a powerful base for a bluetooth speaker, it can sometimes be troublesome when you are trying to fit the speaker anywhere.

​Hence, since the speaker is heavy and big, it needs a dedicated sturdy place to set it up to avoid any surrounding objects vibration sound once its turned on and in its maximum volume, the audio performance will be distorted by the vibration noise of the objects surrounding if not kept in a dedicated place.

Picture
Have to place the speaker in a sturdy place to avoid vibration of the surrounding items when it’s on.
Many reviewers suggest that the design played the key in making the purchase decision, hence the unique design is the strongest selling point in this speaker regardless being a bluetooth speaker.

AUDIO PERFORMANCE
​

If your ultimate goal is to get a bluetooth speaker that is both stunning and delivers a clean accurate audio performance at mid - low range without too much emphasis on bass quality at highs - then, TreSound1 will be an excellent choice based on the reviews. Below are some key areas where the speaker delivers great performance on its audio. 
Picture
Since  TreSound is a bluetooth speaker you can easily pair it with your phone or any bluetooth device.
One key feature you need to know about TreSound1 is, it is a bluetooth speaker single speaker and not a pair of speakers which means you cannot get stereoscopic imaging that you normally get with duo speakers.

​Although the speaker setup has being designed to deliver 360 surround sound, the sound performance and range will still deliver mono sound unlike two channel speaker set up.  However, Tresound1 does deliver more separation since the design featuring the 3 way sound set-up benefits in delivering more separation than most bluetooth speakers since most speakers are 2 way design or has 4rim drivers.

Picture

The duo silk film tweeters deliver pristine clean and crisp clear highs, whilst the volume on mid and low range. Some reviews tested the speakers performance on frequency response of 20Hz as the results showed good performance as marketed by the brand even on 30-60Hz. Also, since the speaker has a V-curve, the base is lifted and boosted. 

In maximum or loud volumes of heavy base, the speaker was reviewed as to distort the audio for its maximum volume of 5.25inch base driver. Although the audio performance may be impressive but TreSound1 reviews showed that the speaker cannot deliver the utmost excellent quality as a non-bluetooth bass speaker even if the base is present and not overbearing. However, at moderate volumes, the bass is clean and impactful. 

“You will get good, clean and clear airy highs but slightly boosted due to V-curve. And due to this the mids aren’t front staged but its good. Base is powerful and impactful at lower volumes and its impressive for a 5.25 driver. At higher volumes its not as clean and clear as lower volumes but its still good and in comparison to other bluetooth speakers, TreSound 1 does a better performance” - says the reviews from Spec of Tech. 

Hence, our verdict is that TreSound1 provides above average performance on audio sound for a bluetooth speaker. Coupled with it’s stunning designed TreSound 1 may very likely be the best choice in the market right now for both audio and for its modern design.

Is Morus Zero the ultimate compact tumble dryer for your tiny home or on-the road lifestyle?
Picture
Among the many great reviews on the Morus Zero is their excellent drying performance which delivers as good as a regular sized dryer. The lightweight and compact design suites those living in small places as the Morus Zero is easy to carry and can place it anywhere to plug-in without having to worry about the vent hoses as it does not require any.
Picture
Just take it out of the box and place it anywhere and plug-in and your ready.
Although, the dryer is marketed as ultra-fast drying in 15 minutes with 60% faster drying than a conventional dryers, most reviews suggests that Morus Zero does take a little bit more time than 15 minutes to completely dry the clothes on the default settings on most modes. Regardless, the dryer does an excellent performance for its compact size using less energy and without requiring a vent to dry the clothes making it hassle free and convenient.
Picture
​Another useful consideration to be noted is that, Morus Zero vents hot-humid air into the room  resulting to boil up the room the dryer is placed. The dryer's condenser coils does not remove the moisture from the air as it is made of plastic and not steel to perform at it’s best hence, by being mindful of the area you place the dryer may help to overcome this issue.

​

As the dryer is equipped with Vacuum + Technology to use faster drying, after testing the drying performance and time by one of the reviews as stated in thegadgeteer.com, their result shows “that the dryer did indeed drop the pressure, but only by 0.2 inches of mercury, which was well shy of their stated 0.5 – 1.5 inches” hence it does not provide a significant performance although the feature works. 
Picture
Child-lock option & control panel on the top for easy  use.
Overall verdict based on the reviews gathered, is that if you are looking for a compact size dryer to load small quantities with an equally good drying performance as a regular size dryer - Morus Zero is a great choice. Although the dryer comes with a high price-tag, but if the added features of Vacuum + drying technology and UVC to sterilise your clothes, are not the top priorities for you, then this no-vent ultra-compact Morus Zero will be an excellent dryer giving you an ultimate experience.

Here are some key user-based reviews gathered up dividing into Pros and Cons of Morus Zero.

Often times,  we find ourselves trying one product or another to deter pests in our home or garden either failing to have an ultimate controlling the pests or either the strong chemicals being harmful to you and your family. Hence, when we came across the EMR30 from Nitecore, we will list down some helpful tips why a pest repellent device is a more healthier option than using a chemical spray product.

  • Pest Repellent devices work by emitting a high-frequency sound that is unpleasant to pests, but not to humans or other animals. This sound is usually set on a timer so that it only runs when the pests are active. Some pest repellers also use ultrasonic sound waves that are designed to be more effective at targeting specific pests. 
  • Although it can be more expensive than chemical based products, Pest repellent devices does not contain any toxic chemicals, hence healthier to your family, children and even for the environment.
  • Chemical based pest repellent products may be hazardous to human and animals although it does not require frequent maintenance. 
  • Every time you use a chemical based pest repellent product, whether it is a spray or an item, you have to thoroughly clean the surrounding to rinse of any harmful substance or any residue of the spray. However keeping your place  where the pest repellent device is placed does not require cleaning and its easier option to keep your home and garden clean and healthy at all times.

DSLRs uses a mirror in the body to reflect the image upto the viewfinder; whereas the mirror flips up and moves out of the way when you shoot an image. In Mirrorless camera’s sensors create an electronic image which is then displayed either on the rear screen or in the e-viewfinder with a single AF instead of using in-built mirror with two AF systems. However, mirrorless cameras are becoming a serious alternative for it’s compact size and weight than DSLRs. For more details keep reading below.
