Nomad Review Video and Design Change Details [Video]

Design change [00:53]


The Onvian USB Splitter Cable that Nomad recommended in their letter works just fine powering the Nomad while allowing me to still record dashcam footage. While the splitter states only one side is good for charging, either side can be used for the Nomad (according to the letter Nomad provided).

I know the video was rather lengthy as I usually strive to keep my videos short and to the point. I thought adding a timeline in the beginning would be beneficial to to you in case you don’t have time to watch the entire video.

I recall you could easily move the Jeda wireless mat around and had to use sticky tape to hold it into place (something I wouldn’t prefer), so I’m really happy I don’t have to use sticky tape with the Nomad!

Great video, thanks for posting it here. Mine is on order, shipping on 11/30.
As a lot of folks, am not a fan of the battery going away and the price remaining the same. Even a token price change would help. Folks are going for the Taptes which seems like a cheaper rip-off. I may be wrong, I've never seen one in the flesh.

Good stuff Alex!
 
Had the chance to use it today. I have the Gen 1 version with the battery. I have a Galaxy S9 in an Otterox Defender case. I got an extra 20% charge on a 30 minute drive. My phone case is thick, so I could not close the lid while charging.
 
Nomad is having a pretty large Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale (up to 30% off most items - sorry, not the Model 3 charging pad).

Here’s a link to their website. I receive a small commission if you buy using my link at no cost to you. If you don’t want to use my link I’ve also posted their direct link as well. Happy Thanksgiving and Black Friday!
