NEWS – This week we are bringing you information about five different crowdfunding campaigns that are currently running on Kickstarter that will be of interest to security conscience people, EDC fans, and more.
SpyFinder® Pro Hidden Camera Detector
What is it?
The SpyFinder® Pro is a small handheld hidden camera lens detector that can find cameras not visible to the naked eye.
Why is it cool?
I like the SpyFinder® Pro because it runs on 2 regular AAA batteries and it’s simple to operate. Just push the button and look through the viewfinder to sweep the room for cameras by seeing the reflection off the camera lenses on wireless and wired cameras even if they are powered off. Why would you even need this? Just for added security when you stay at hotel, motel, B&B, Airbnb, locker rooms, dressing rooms, and more.
Where can I find more info?
The SpyFinder® Pro campaign ends on 11/24/18 and they just launched their campaign and are working towards their funding goal of $10,000. You can pre-order a SpyFinder® Pro starting at $198. After the SpyFinder® Pro campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in December 2018. Visit their site for all the details and to order.
Urbanoider: EDC compact knife
What is it?
The Urbanoider is a solid stainless forged steel tiny EDC knife.
Why is it cool?
I like the Urbanoider because it’s a chunky little knife with a pocket clip and a spring-loaded switchblade mechanism that’s been made to stand the test of time. And it even has a removable awl. Yeah, I’m sure it’s not completely legal everywhere and it goes without saying that you should not take it with you on a plane even if the blade is less than 1.4 inches long.
Where can I find more info?
The Urbanoider campaign ends on 11/16/18 and they just launched their campaign and are working towards their funding goal of $5,000. You can pre-order a Urbanoider starting at $49. After the Urbanoider campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in April 2019. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
Ekster® 3.0 – The World’s Slimmest Smart Wallet
What is it?
The Ekster® 3.0 is a voice-activated trackable wallet that provides instant access to your cards with a press of a button.
Why is it cool?
We reviewed an Ekster wallet last year and thought it was a very well-made wallet but it was just a little too thick and bulky. Ekster heard those comments and have come back with a new thinner wallet with this new version. Ekster is an established company so it shouldn’t be an issue for them to come through with this new wallet with offers some cool bang for your buck features in a smart wallet.

The Ekster® 3.0 campaign ends on 11/22/18 and they just launched their campaign and have already met their funding goal of $11,510. You can pre-order an Ekster® 3.0 starting at $29. After the Ekster® 3.0 campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in March 2019. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
Soundbrenner Core: The 4-in-1 Smart Music Tool
What is it?
The Soundbrenner Core is a smartwatch for musicians.
Why is it cool?
I like the Soundbrenner Core because it is a wearable vibrating metronome, a removable magnetic tuner, a decibel meter, it can tell time, and show notifications from your phone too!

Flydigi Wasp – Innovative One-Handed Gamepad for iPhone
blurb by Julian Perry
What is it?
The WASP, One-Handed Gamepad for iPhone attaches to the iPhone (specific models) and allows you one-handed access and controls for playing games.
Why is it cool?
I like the WASP, One-Handed Gamepad for iPhone because it feels comfortable in your hand and it is very ergonomic. In addition, it utilizes patented technology that simulates human hand touch by sending a capacitance signal. There is no Bluetooth connection required for it to interface with the iPhone. The joystick and button operation help to create a nice mobile gaming experience. Its built-in battery also boasts a battery life of up to 20 hours.
