Just bought mine a couple weeks ago and I could not be happier. Now just waiting for my LG 34inch 5K monitor to arrive this week and I’m all set.

As a church creative myself, its cool that you're doing creative work for your local church, as I've seen in the b-roll in this video. Your channel and its value is phenomenal.

This is amazing information to me as an upcoming content creator that uses his iPhone, lol. I am gathering information for a good set in the future and I think this will be a purchase for me. Thank you for creating this video.

I think this device is amazing! I currently am rocking a early 2013 Macbook pro, and even though it has most of the ports here, I might consider picking this thing up!

[mirroreffectchannel]

You guys always got useful and helpful content I will try this one has i been following you'll recommendation to start my channel now I upload content every week on Saturday

[freddumartin]

I have this for my editing PC, it’s great to have the connectivity on my desk instead of having to reach the back of my case on the floor under my desk. Thunderbolt 3 is faaaast like crazy.

Omar, watch out using your MacBook connected to the CalDigit dock with the lid closed. I used to do that with my MBP 2017 and had to replace the screen panel twice before I stopped doing it. Looks like the heat from the body affects the screen.

Been loving mine since day 1. I'm using it with a 16" MacBook Pro and for those wondering: it does keep its charge nicely even though the caldigit provides "only" 87 watts of power compared to the 96w Apple charger that's included with the machine. I need to add that it's used mostly for music production so I'm barely using the graphics card

[Wolfman-rdpv]

Never before have I seen a man say "dongle" with such seriousness

[mitchellbrusseau]

Good video. It's almost like a dock station.

[paulspano]

Shout out to Kyle behind the scenes! Thank you so much for weighing in from a video editor's vantage point, and thank you Omar/everyone at Think Media for this video:) It's practical, educational, and appreciated.

[jasonknight]

It’s the centerpiece for my rig. Total game changer

[Shayway]

Caldigit makes such good stuff! Happy you guys featured them!

[ByDale]

Actually i am also doing this but with a 32 inch led tv with a MacBook air 2012 which heats up within 30 mins.... But its still works and using it for online class and for youtube

[skinnylizardstudios]

Great video man, checking my Windows laptop for the T3 port now

[TheTCOLL]

Ive been searching high and low for a USB C monitor so I just need one cable. Is this a better option?

[underwaterHD]

Great video omar. Omar, I have a very important question to ask you. Can you please recommend a good laptop for editing outside any apple product?
I'm really struggling to make the right choice.
This is what my channel is about:
[A creat content to help creators to get better at what they do, via tutorials, and the ocational B-roll etc.]

[VinceLymburn]

Oh wow! Been waiting for a product like this! Right now I have two doggles connected to my laptop and the mess is so cumbersome. Thank you for making this video!

[joshuaberrios]

About time, a product that would just provide the necessary ports needed at an amazing quality to price ratio.
Definitely will be considering this for my wife's Macbook and whenever I upgrade my Mid-2014 15" Retina Macbook Pro.

God Bless!

[supremeuppercut]

Love mine. I had both this and the OWC dock as well. Both great, but this one has remained.
