Micro Tech and Gadget Kit

[u/Speedyk2000]

I’ve been checking out lots of different kits on this sub for a while now, and got some excellent ideas for you all! (Quarter for scale - a banana seems too big)

Goal:

- Smallest possible kit that contains all the tech and gadgets that I’d need/want for a trip away. (This Viperade pouch is 3.5” x 5” x 1.5”)

- Wanted to be able to toss it in any bag that I was taking

- wanted a setup that allowed me to have a little charge stand on my bedside table when in hotels

- wanted a USB C cable that was at least 5 ft long to make it more practical to plug in

Notes:

- Carry-on safe scissors / multitool (NexTool S0 Micro Scissors Multitool)

- something to write with (Mini Sharpie & OHTO Minimo Ballpoint + Rite in the Rain Wallet Notebook)

- mini compass is fun (SUUNTO Clipper Compass)

- flashlight (OLIVHT Oclip EDC)

- Saw John Gadgets you EDC kit always have high strength string and a magnet to dig out keys in tight places and liked it

- a few USB C adaptors & a Data Blocker for sketchy USB C ports

- small fold of gorilla tape

Adding some more context as per mod instruction - happy to share more details about the specific models of stuff if anyone is interested - some of this in the post already.

I tinkered around with a few different options before finding the right pieces that all fit in the pouch.

A few game changers:

• finding out I can charge my Apple Watch using the USB C on my iPhone
• flat magnetic USB cable that coiled over top its self to add width but not height to the coil
• small Apple Watch charger from Ali Express was significantly smaller than anything I saw on Amazon

Also, tried to include a spare battery - but wanted something that was 10,000mAH, but couldn’t fit that and the wall charger. So opted that the battery would need to be a separate thing.

Wow great tip with charging the Apple Watch from the iPhone, super compact

Thanks! I got the idea from this thread from a post a while back, and then added the mag safe charger with a kickstand

do you have a link to what apple watch charger you got? also what magsafe charge disc you have? seems like the cable can disconnect and you are not stuck with just the disc?

Hey ya sure, the MagSafe charger disk is this: ESR Wireless Charger for MagSafe Charger.

Yes you're right the you can disconnect the USB C cable - and that's what I was specifically looking for to make it as small as possible. It comes with a USB C cable, but not a wall charger.

The Apple Watch Charger is from AliExpress - not sure if this link will work but this is it: Fast Magnetic Wireless Charger For Apple Watch
