I had to get a new phone. It's, again, a Motorola, but it's got the USB-C connector. Now, my EDC consists of several USB-C adapters to accommodate all of the other gear/cords I already carried.
I have time to tell but not to show. On my person.. LG K7 phone + charger Nitecore EA1 flashlight in my backpack ASUS 15" laptop (used for work) PNY 16GB flashdrive Klein NCVT-3 non contact voltage tester. As a former IT guy, I'm the default "electronics/wiring" guy in the department. My father is an electrical engineer, he taught me to test what is hot and what is not at an early age. It's $20 bucks or so and easy to carry.
Water-Rat: There are more of us like this on here than you'd think. I use a LG 'Revere' flip phone. Never fails me. I just refuse to back myself into a corner that would mean paying data fees for a smart phone and doubling my cell phone bill. I have a couple of flash drives but never carry them. No need. I have an iPod Classic that is fully loaded @ about 140 GB of music -- all based on actual physical CD's that I have. WHEN I carry earbuds, they're a $10 pair from CVS. Usually the iPod sits in the car -- using it on random means I don't need to use any of the streaming music services in the car. L'chaim! Moshe ben David
Things have changed: When going out for short period of time or on smaller distance I usually carry: Smartphone Earbuds Flash drives ( 2 x 16GB) But when I'm away from home for longer period of time: Smartphone Earbuds Flash drives Powerbank MicroUSB cable/splitter Tablet+Tablet keyboard case OTG microUSB Laptop and charger Mouse (wired for now) Calculator
Motorola DROID Turbo. I keep a wireless charger at work and Victorinox SwissFlash 16GB in my bag. That's it.
If my work did not reimburse me for all but $10 on my cell phone plan, I would still have a flip phone. Since I am making frequent trips to Toronto, my iphone does make the traveling more manageable. My favorite phone of all time was my old Motorola Razr V3.
I carry a small Maxpedition organizer (micro or mini??) as my "electronics kit" in my EDC bag that has the following: USB Plug-in phone charger USB micro cord USB iphone cord USB 12 volt cigarette lighter charger Slim, credit card style power bank...not a huge one, just enough to charge my phone once...2500mah?? Audio cord with 1/8" jacks and two 1/4" adapters Earbud headphones 64GB USB flash drive This takes care of my daily audio/visual/tech needs 99% of the time. I have a similar kit that I use for travel that is beefed up a bit with a much bigger power bank, and a 3ft HDMI cable (love hijacking the TV in hotel rooms to watch whatever I want to watch and not what they offer). If the in-room WIFI is good enough, it is like I've never left home!
On Body: Moto G4 smartphone Earphones 16gb USB if I'm at uni In Bag: Fujitsu Laptop 2 micro USB leads, one short, one long. 1 USB mini External Microphone External Mouse 32gb USB Stick 128gb micro SD plus Converter to SD AUX Lead Splitter Headphones Micro USB to Lightening Cable converter 6 Screen wipes Portable Charger 6 AA Batteries 2 Gallon Ziploc Bags 6ft Electrical Tape Sometimes I also carry my Kindle Fire but not everyday so I wouldn't call it my EDC
All the tech I carry is my iPad, bose qc 25 headphones, and I recently picked up a lithium ion battery charging port thingy.. it's a little bulky but has enough juice for 2.5 charges before it has to be recharged itself.
Just sometimes,when i think i can use it - a Lenovo 7" Tablet for downloading tv series via amazon prime - a Nintendo 3DS XL for collecting coins - a little Kodak Easyshare point&shot camera. More details on good light situations,but less good makro than my iphone
Hmm, over the years, I try to carry fewer items and and certainly less weight. So electrical gear now looks like: On person: - iPhone 6s - Photon keychain flashlight In bag (a small and light Tom Bihn Co-Pilot): - Apple MacBook 12" plus an iPad mini OR just a iPad Pro 10" plus keypad and pencil. More often than not its now just the iPad Pro unless I'm certain I really need a full laptop. Mostly I can do as much on the iPad pro. - Small 2.4A mains charger (Now I use a MU System travel charger as it is light and comes with a folding UK mains plug plus interchangeable Euro and US plugs). Charges all the devices including the MacBook (if a bit slowly). - USB to micro USB cable plus Apple's micro USB to Lightning adapter. - USB to USB C cable (for MacBook charging). - Small ZebraLight torch and a couple of spare batteries (CR123). - Finally, I've recently taken to carrying a Kindle paper white. I know I can use any of the Apple devices to read but it's so neat and light, charge lasts ages so doesn't run down the phone / pad and I prefer reading books from the white screen.
