Make no mistake. We’re suckers for flashlights at The Gadgeteer! I thought I’d seen it all, but this odd duck grabbed my attention. The WorkStar 2000 Technician’s Floodlight from Maxxeon has a swiveling head, magnets, a hook and a rechargeable battery? Let’s take a look!

Can’t find a headset/mic combination you like? Do you have a favorite pair of headphones but no mic? Wouldn’t it be great to just add a microphone to your own headphones anytime you like? You may remember my own attempts at using a hot glue gun to attach a microphone to my own comfy headphones… [...]

Knock knock! Who’s there? Now you’ll know with the PeepHole Viewer PHV1330 from Brinno, which records images outside your door onto a microSD card and has a 3″ LCD display on the inside for your viewing.

Digital cameras are great. They’re convenient, fun, and are becoming idiot-proof. Then the Fuji X100 came into my life and I realized just how lazy and dependent on technology I’ve been when taking snapshots. How did this happen? I have a love-hate thing with digital cameras. First, the technology keeps advancing that lures me into [...]

I’ve seen these little toy helicopters for a while now, but as much as I like toys, I never bought one. Why? Well for one thing, I was always afraid I’d “shoot my eye out” or it just wouldn’t work. I mean, how well could something so TINY work after all? Enter the Swann series [...]

Need a pocket for your pocket? Then the new Maxpedition Mini Pocket organizer might be just for you. I love Maxpedition products. They’re utilitarian and very well made. One thing I don’t like about wearing pants with cargo pockets is that smaller items tend to move around loosely. The Maxpedition Mini Pocket looks like the [...]

Spy cameras hidden in teddy bears too obvious? How about something truly ordinary? Yes, this innocent looking “wall wart” actually houses a video camera with an internal DVR that records onto a micro SD card. It features motion detection activated recording and can record up to 32 hours on a single micro SD card. Cost [...]

The Preon ReVO from 4Sevens is the latest mini sized keychain flashlight that packs quite a punch for its diminutive size.

I love all things wireless, except when it comes to keeping them powered up. For some reason, I’ve never latched onto the idea of wireless input devices, like mice and keyboards. I was always worried that I’d run out of battery juice at the worst possible moment. But a solar rechargeable keyboard? Now this is [...]

I am the hardest person on earth to buy things for. I don’t really NEED anything because if there’s something I want, I either already have one that does the same thing, or it’s too ridiculous… unless someone has a coupon for a 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition.

As a kid, I remember using those gas lanterns powered by propane or white gas. Someone’s dad would pump up the lantern, light the fragile mantles, and a bright glow would descend upon the campground. The Emergency Area Light from Coast Products provides an adjustable brightness like the classic gas-powered ones, but goes a few steps [...]

I’m not a gamer. There, I said it. I think the last time I was addicted played any game was World of Warcraft with my younger brothers in law for a few months, but had to quit cold turkey in 2004. Nowadays, with kids and less free time, we MIGHT play a few rounds of [...]

If you much prefer the over-the-head type of headset, skip this review. I’m one of those people. I wear glasses and I never found the behind-the-ear style compelling enough to try. But try I did.

“Sophisticated Elegance” is what Callpod calls their Vetro Bluetooth headset. According to Callpod, vetro means “glass” in Italian. That raised my eyebrow a bit. I’d never seen a Bluetooth headset that looked like this before, so I had to give it a try.

As the parent of a preschooler, I know I’ve seen things like this before. But none of them had epic names like the “Galaxy Beetlestar”. This I had to see.

The BlueAnt Q2 bluetooth headset is billed as “the best sounding headset ever built”. Well, that’s a tall order. Most bluetooth headsets I’ve tried range from merely acceptable, to rotten. How does the BlueAnt Q2 fare, and what extras are packed on board?

It’s no surprise that the Saddleback Leather Co. is a Gadgeteer favorite to carry your oodles of shiny gizmos. But what if you don’t carry much around at all? Recently I’ve been trying to pare down what I carry with me to a bare minimum. I’ve ditched the laptop for an iPad, and the computer [...]
