Building the
Portable PS4 #Helpful Post
hey
guys this is Austin you may have
caught
our building the ultimate ps4 and
Xbox
one videos and they use the word
ultimate
very lightly there however this
time
we're taking a slightly different
approach
today we're going to be
building
a portable ps4 so this is the
games
Vanguard case the idea here is
that
this is going to give you some
portability
with a console we're going
to
be taking it up a notch so inside you
have
a another box okay so this is the
case
then they claim their work so it's
pretty
much any console ps3 ps4 Xbox 360
Xbox
one and the idea here is that not
only
is it a case that your console fits
inside
but also integrates the screen so
now
what are we getting a nineteen inch
display
even though it is only 720p but
you
also get the speakers as well as the
power
adapter to run the entire unit so
this
actually is reasonably portable so
not
only does have a built-in handle but
you
also have your integrated first of
all
we have the display itself
it
has lots and lots of wonderful
warnings
for example you need special
packaging
for the Xbox one and that you
should
not store your peripherals inside
the
Vanguard and cables need to be
unplugged
and if you don't listen to all
these
rules it might kill you well as
you
know you can do some damage to the
screen
let's go to the power adapter as
well
as a small HDMI cable includes the
box
which is helpful since that really
only
has to run a few inches there's
also
a couple of carrying cases here as
well
as a strap if you want to be super
super
cool next we have the ps4 slim
there
the main reason for going with
this
over the pro is to do with power
efficiency
since this needs a lot less
power
to run it's going to make things a
lot
simpler when we actually get this
thing
fully portable and since it's
going
to be smaller and lighter it fits
in
here easily and it's a 720p screen
you
don't really need a ps4 Pro anyway
the
only slight issue is that the ps4
slim
isn't technically supported but I
think
it should fit what you need to do
is
get any two straps and then just
tighten
things down and I think that
should
work between the phone pattern of
straps
I don't think that's going
anywhere
and the cool thing is we
actually
still have access to all of our
ports
if you have our USB the puranas
goes
blu-ray and we can still get access
to
everything around back including
power
as well as HDMI so we have the
games
case on power of our ps4 and
theory
we should be up and gaming so
turning
on the sharpening just a little
bit
it looks like we're pretty much good
to
go that is actually not bad so there
may
be that the greatest built-in
speakers
in the world but for gaming I
think
this should be totally fine so you
do
notice that the screen is only 720p
it's
not great I think though for a
portable
set of it's something I could
live
with so not only is it matte you
actually
have pretty solid viewing
angles
and when something I actually do
really
appreciate is the idea that it's
a
pretty decent sized screen sure 19
inches
doesn't sound huge but we're
going
to do this close-up especially
with
something that's going to be used
in
a portable situation it actually
doesn't
want that but of course this is
just
a simple game case by itself what
we
want to do is make this a fully
portable
set up that's what this comes
in
this is the anchor powerhouse
essentially
what it is is a giant giant
power
bank so what you can do is of
course
charge standard things like USB
devices
off this guy but it actually has
a
full outlet that can power something
like
a ps4 this guy is rocking a 120,000
milliamp
hour battery now they put that
in
perspective anchor claims that's
actually
be able to run something like a
mini
fridge for like seven hours oh man
it's
like the size of a car battery this
is
giant Wow there's a really nice
feeling
handle - it feels dirty so not
only
do you have the input but you also
have
a 12-volt cigarette lighter four
USB
ports which can charge everything
from
a smart phone to a tablet with
pretty
decent speed as well as what we
want
which is the full outlets now the
idea
for something like this is sort of
more
than sit like a giant emergency
battery
so not only can you do stuff
like
charge your phone a ton of times
off
this guy is you can even charge
something
like a laptop but what we want
to
do is power our full ps4 portable set
up
purely off of this guy so visit
everything
we need to make our portable
ps4
happen you have the games cage with
the
ps4 cables accessories controllers
as
well as our powerhouse so hopefully
everything
works one of the things that
we're
a little bit worried about what
we're
trying to get everything to set up
here
and the reason why we went with the
ps4
slam is because of the power draw so
even
though this is one of the biggest
batteries
that you can get it still does
have
a 120 watt limit which should be
fine
for the ps4 slams the way we've got
this
set up is that the ps4 in the games
case
are running to a multi tops and
this
is just going to plug straight into
our
battery bank
all
right monitors up ps4 looks like
it's
ps4
ring controller up and and we're
good
all right this is it this is the
whole
setup you can look around there's
no
like hidden wires or anything
literally
it's just a games case with
the
monitor we've got all our cables
nicely
tucked around and we're pretty
much
up running with the ps4 the last up
though
is to get on the internet now of
course
some games are going to run just
fine
without it
however
to the magic of tethering okay
so
maybe not blazing speeds but the
important
part is we are actually fully
up
and running on our ps4 no no no no no
you
see what that was because it's so
portable
I uh I was in the park and I
was
lost by nature's beauty and stopped
paying
attention for a second you think
look
how beautiful it is looks very
different
game here there are certain
moments
when I'm making a video and I
realize
how ridiculous I must look right
now
with this in a park it's a beautiful
day
people are having fun playing
baseball
I'm uh I'm sitting in a park
bench
with ps4 on a giant battery bank
there's
a lot of language there Park
this
is so good
I'm
surprised at how could you look at
this
back it's a 720p screen and yeah
you
can see it's not the sharpest like
there's
definitely a little bit of
downscaling
going on but this is totally
usable
and the most important thing is
the
screen is bright enough and it's
matte
enough that even outside is
totally
usable so in about 10 minutes we
lost
4 percent battery that's not bad at
all
you actually could legitimately use
this
for a pretty decently long gaming
session
so this is the portable ps4 set
up
do you guys want to build your own I
will
have links in the description I'm
curious
what do you think about this
masterpiece
let me know in the comments
below
and I will catch you guys in the
next
one
