New Travel Entertainment Pt. 3

So I mounted the TripMate and Hard Drive in a pencil box using velcro straps and it worked perfect.  One handy little box to move around.  I added vent holes to cut down on the heat.  I also added my 12000mha battery just in case.

When we got to the hotel I plugged it into their wired internet and then all my devices had internet without having to connect to their wireless.

Very happy with this setup.

New Travel Entertainment Pt. 2

So, I saw a sale on the HooToo TripMate Elite ($33).  Its the same as the Nano, but with a built in battery pack!  Now my setup is even smaller because I don't need any external power at all.  I have the TripMate Elite and a hard drive and thats it!

Initial test showed that I could run it for 4 hours before needing a charge... I'm redoing the test after fully charging the TME over night.  I'm currently at 2.5 hours and still have 3/4 battery left.  So maybe I'll get 7 hours?

The range is pretty good too.  I could still play movies from 40 ft away.

Definitely recommend both of them... I'll probably sell the nano to a friend, cheap.
