80MPH Extreme DigiPlate Clamp Test

Update #3 · May 10, 2012 · 2 comments

This test was probably was more for fun and geekdom than necessity but we did it anyway. We did the shake test yesterday and you saw that the clamps really aren't going to let go of your laptop. Today we mounted the DigiPlate to the roof of a car and cruised up the 110 in LA and did the extreme DigiPlate clamp test. Check out how robust the laptop clamps are:

      Ha! That's funny. I didn't even notice that. I think because we shot the video with the iPhone and it was super shaky, YouTube asked if we wanted to stabilize it. It must be some byproduct of the stabilization. Be rest assured, the DigiPlate will be made from 6061 aluminum and not jello!

      Looks solid!

      How come it looks like the video was shot through a plate of Jello? The picture wiggles and morphs. I thought I was tripping out at first.
