Geekscape Tech Review: Flip 30 from Goal Zero

If you are not familiar with Goal Zero, they are a very interesting company that I met with once. They told me that their name was to create energy with zero emissions. For that reason, the company puts out a lot of solar-powered products, and similar things like the Flip 30, a mobile battery (with an edge).

The Flip 30 is a mobile battery, and I have written about several since I’ve been here at Geekscape, so you probably know the drill. I think it would be better to talk about what is different about this product.

This weighs about 6.8 ounces and feels like a heavier and bigger Zippo lighter. I like how the USB connector just flips out and can rotate, with some great clicking noises. If you stick the Flip 30 in a USB port to charge it, you will want to make certain that you support it for its weight. It takes about 5 hours to charge, and then you can charge anything.

You should be able to purchase the Flip 30 on the Goal Zero site for a holiday special price of $39.99. It is in Charcoal Gray or Goal Zero Green. Yeah, you heard that right.

Also, do you want to hear more about the latest in technology? In early January, there is a big event in Las Vegas known as CES (Consumer Electronics Show). I want to go and report on it, but I need some help. I have a new GoFundMe site that will “Send Mark (me) to CES 2017”. Please click here and make a donation.
