I like the look of this, serves a couple of jobs. Is there a cheapo option instead of OMC's and doing fifty quid ?

Ta,

Each to their own and one mans meat and all that but it looks like more unnecessary crap to lug about.
Not to mention the sound and light pollution.

I suppose you could hang this upside down

Do you really need power draining Bluetooth for your sounds ? I just use a phono lead and the Auxiliary In socket on my Dab radio for a bit of music. Light is supplied from an Ebay camping light which cost about two quid Lol. If you really want one, just hang on for a while and NGT will probably have one out for half the price 😁

I do like radio/tunes whilst fishing and have a BT speaker that's pretty old so the battery doesn't hold that much power now.

I used to have a bivvy light that was useful for when I couldn't find my glasses in the dark and have been meaning to get a new one.

Thanks for the link, I have some alpkit gear already that has been really good

I just press play on my phone and music comes out of it
No headphones, not loud enough to annoy others.
Even works on bbc sounds if I want to listen to the local news

Magical device really

Come to think of it, phones can also give off a little bit of ambient lighting as well as music. You might be onto something here 😂

If you're just after the function, a lot of people DIY it with large bulldog clips, battery clamps, or even a carpenter's clamp and just add a bit of weight with washers or lead strip
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
