The advancements that we’ve seen during the last decade with portable smart devices like smartphones, tablets, smart watches, wireless ear buds, notebooks and laptops have empowered AV professionals and prosumers to be more productive, creative, efficient and mobile. The continual progress of camera/lens technology, CPU/AV codec and production application software for the latest generation of smartphones and tablets, coupled with feature rich production/post-production software for notebooks and laptops, and add-on accessories like gimbal mounts, video/audio rigs, lens, lighting and microphone assemblies, etc., are blurring the lines between consumer and semi-pro devices. Moreover, these advancements have made a dramatic impact on how fast a video can be produced; the continual reduction in production cost, and the resultant creative output quality that continues to increase. It’ll be interesting to see in the coming years what can be accomplished with handheld smart devices and accessories with increased processing power, storage, software, battery and optical technologies.
At least for now, one limiting factor in this utopian vision is how to keep your battery ‘conveniently’ charged whether at home, in the office or on-the-go for those perfect video shoot moments. It’s rare for a ‘consumer’ company to have come up with a charging solution that fits the hectic pace of an AV professional, but RapidX, a pioneering innovator of high-quality wired and wireless charging technologies, has unveiled a unique wireless charging system, called MyPort that seems ideal to address this challenge.
MyPort is an ingeniously designed three-in-one wireless charging system that integrates a wireless charger, power bank, and stand for iOS, Android and other Qi-enabled devices.
MyPort features three charging options, integrating a phone stand, power bank, and wireless charger all in one sleek, elegant, compact design. When at home or in the office, just prop an iPhone, Android, or other Qi-enabled device on the base stand to effortlessly charge the device. The Qi-certified stand simultaneously provides easy, hands-free viewing and wireless charging of the mobile device and power bank. The wireless power bank can charge flat or at an upward angle, doubling as a stand for easy viewing of your mobile phone. During phone-in-stand mode, the portable battery power bank is continuously charging. When travelling, the rugged power bank easily detaches from the stand to use MyPort as an on-the-go portable power platform.
The portable wireless power bank brings along a 10,000 mAh Qi-certified 10W wireless battery with 18W USB-C and USB-A ports to supply power for both your wireless and wired devices.
