 Welcome back to the review and today I'm going to take a look at this here which is the battery base with stand for the Echo Show 5. That's right today it's about a product review but before I start if you use this channel hi my name is JD and I do product reviews like these sometimes it's art of books I do acting analysis clips I do animation analysis clips rig reviews animation news all kind of things and if that's something that you like feel free to subscribe and hit the bell button to don't miss any of those uploads that is the pitch you know it it's a YouTube pitch but it helps me grow the channel but enough about that let's get to the product I haven't even opened this this is brand new this was given to me so disclaimer this is if you will a sponsored product because I did not pay for this this was given to me thank you Zoe by GGMM they have patiently waited for the review so that is the box that is the side side here battery base with stand for Echo Show 5 and there you go you got a little plastic in the here let's open this up surgically anything else I think that is it that's what you get in there here is the ES5 setup guide that looks like one piece you can unfold yes it is Deutsch Francais different languages gives you the setup guide of all of that there you go different languages but let's look at this in English so basically what happens here you can take your echo put on top of that you can see the plate here you can connect it that's for the battery thing and you have the stand at the bottom so you can see this here that you got your stand you can adjust so it's not just a battery pack but it's also a stand it's very convenient and I was absolutely interested in reviewing this because I have my Echo 5 in my office my office right over there you can see it can even turn the camera but I have this on and I play Star Trek in all kinds of movies while I work so it's always something playing but it is because it is cable stuck to that one area and as I work out I also have music playing or I play movies but it's usually over my phone and I was very interested in grabbing this and have that battery pack so I can take this everywhere so this could be downstairs this could be in a different room this could be in the living room was always like listening to things be it music or movies or tv shows whatever so I thought this was really cool and I was very interested in trying this out so this is what you get this is the cover here you can unpack it like that you got this which I shall rip open here these are usually your packing things in there and there you go that is the size you can see my hand comparison here so you got a little rubber feet so that it doesn't it really doesn't move I have to push this really hard so this is pretty good so it doesn't slide around then you got your power button here and here is your cable you will take this off and then connect that into your echo 5 and you got plug in dc in if you want to charge it like this it has a usb out so let me grab my echo 5 and then plug that in and see how that works there you go I got the camera closed here this is some dust on there because it never goes anywhere so you can see this here you're going to put that on there let me bring it up we've got a little click on you can see this nicely molded you can see how much you can see how closely this fits here and you can take this and put it right in here click that click and hold you see the four lights I'm going to go through the manual so you can see what that means I would assume right off the bat that this is about a full charge but I always like trying things out without reading the manuals I know this is ridiculous but just to see how intuitive it is and I don't think this is going to be very complicated you got your echo here connected but you can see this here you can see how you can swivel it around this doesn't go it doesn't turn it doesn't do anything sideways or tilting this is just up and down like this if you rest it like that you can see it goes up quite far actually and down it's actually fairly heavy has a little magnetic connection there you can see I can lift this and that battery stays put so it's really durable I can even hold it like this and it's no problem that's pretty cool so it's nothing that will kind of come off I like that that's pretty neat yes 10 53 that is the time on the weekend Alexa play star trek the next generation season two here's star trek the next generation season two episode four that's how far into it I am season four uh episode four season two let me turn down the sound here I don't want to get into uh any copyright problems with the sound here oh the outrageous okona not exactly the best episode but it's a classic actually this guy I think was supposed to be the original riker but anyway so you can see this again holds neatly a lot of oh you can see that really clicks in nothing happens here I can go pretty hefty in my shaking here and this holds is very cold so now you can put this anywhere anywhere you want let's put this back here you can see this you can see this here you can hold this here it goes back like that that's the range of the tilting here so it's towards you and a bit back it would be kind of cool to do either like a sideways tilt or a rotation but I can see why this would be a problem because you got that cable here so that is going to give you a certain limitation in terms of how far you can rotate so it makes sense that you can't do that so that is the length maybe that's something and a future thing where it could have an insert here I can put in the cable then we unspool and you have maybe a longer cable and maybe this would rotate also a 360 turnaround maybe I don't know but this is already pretty cool so I'm going to try this out I'm going to take this into different rooms different scenarios in the garage where I work out to kind of fast forward and I'm going to do a bit of testing there I'll come back in a couple days or couple weeks and see how this goes I want to tell you how happy I am to be assigned to you Alexa stop still worked been playing since I unboxed it battery still going three lights out of four so far so good I love it still works oh hi still working bedroom time still works all right so I've tested this as you can see in all kinds of environments again this is here still playing absolutely fantastic I have to say this is not because it's sponsored this was given to me for free this would be an incentive to to exaggerate but I have found that I've been taking this everywhere especially when I work out and then go downstairs just a quick thing was it's I have to say this with Alexa is a lot faster in terms of bringing up movies and tv shows and things I want to listen to then when I do a hey Siri had to pause that just to see that it didn't activate anything so when I say hey ha ha ha play whatever demolition man it would take actually quite some time to bring up and a few times they would even play like it brings up the movie but I still have to go there and play and for me in my office downstairs everywhere I can just say hey Alexa played demolition man and it's going to load it up and it's going to play it and I don't have to touch anything the sound quality is great and with this again it lasts a really long time and if you go on the actual website so here on the page you can see here product description and photos it shows you everything for free to scroll down and check it all out you got all information you got size and weight as well but what I wanted to look at is this here it plays up to nine and a half hours at 50 volume so I wanted to test that and it wasn't a 50% volume it was fairly loud I would say probably 70% it was again it was loud working out in the office all kinds of places and I used it continuously and I use a stopwatch and it told me that it died after nine hours 19 minutes basically nine hours and 20 minutes so at 50% volume I can absolutely see this lasting for nine and a half hours so this is totally true I also plug this back in because as you can see in the unboxing it doesn't come with the cable so the power cable that comes with this one you can plug in here and you can charge it what I tried was when it was completely dead plug it back in and then charge it while playing so it's not you have to wait so when you plug it back in at zero battery and you charge it while playing it charges still and it keeps it up but it takes here it took me six hours six and a half hours to charge the whole thing while it was playing I was just curious because I wanted to play it all the time and not wait but of course you can unplug this and just charge it just that without playing of course they will charge a lot faster so overall I would say this is really cool you can see the size it's tiny enough not super heavy heavy enough though to be sturdy and with the feet doesn't slide and again with the magnet here that's nicely secured and really it doesn't come off so I think the build is really cool it doesn't get hot either again at full volume and playing this and charging this I am really really impressed and again this is not just because I got it for free I have to say I've been testing this now every day I'm playing this I'm using this everywhere it's really really cool so thank you so much for sending this to me and if you have an Echo Show 5 and you're interested in a battery pack check out the link in the description go through the details if that's something for you it costs 39.99 dollars comes in black comes in white depending on what Alexa color you have so big thumbs up two thumbs up from me curious if you have it let me know what your experience has been with this and maybe you have another battery pack that you prefer or you think that this one is the best out of all them I don't know I've only tested this one but so far it's been really really cool I highly recommend it and other than that that's it for the review as always thank you for watching if this was
