This week I’m checking out another awesome product from Lander. With me constantly using my phone for a video camera to shoot content when I’m off grid exploring, I need the ability to charge the phone while still being able to use it without interruption.
I also use my phone for maps/GPS, communication, photography, and more. So, battery life is a huge limiting factor for me. I’ve used a number of generic power bricks in the past which varied in their form factor. From packs that I have to plug in a cable, to solar charging (that never actually charge noticeably off solar, to Qi wireless charging bricks.
The big downside to a number of these are that they are slick plastic and when you’re Overlanding, you’re seldom on perfectly level ground. So, when I set my phone down on it, a few minutes later, it will be laying on the table beside the power bank because its slid off (and now it’s not charging). In addition to it being tough to leave it laying on those, it’s also really hard to use the phone while it’s charging on a corded or cordless charging brick.
Enter the Lander Cascade 10,000 mAh power bank. The design is super slim and made of high quality materials. It’s simple to operate (single button on, off and automatic charging) and made of a non-slip rubber material that lends itself to the phone staying put. In addition, they’ve come up with a simple solution to being able to use the phone while it’s charging which is the rubber strap that holds the phone to the charger.
With 10,000 mAh there is a ton of charging power in this thing. It also features 18W fast charging so you can get it charged up to take on your next trip super quickly. It’s also IP65 waterproof rated and super rugged. So, there are a lot of benefits.
Overall, while it’s a little more expensive than the generic ones, the quality is significantly better (and you get a 2 year warranty). It’s easy to use and super handy when moving around so I’m excited to use it on all my trips in the future!
