I remember when POV action cameras first started making their appearance and if you wanted to do any underwater shots, or needed to shoot scenes where your camera could get wet, you had to purchase a waterproof housing since one didn’t come with the camera. Today companies like GoPro, SJCAM, BlackVue, etc., have a waterproof housing as

I don’t always have time to hit the gym so the next best thing I can do is workout from home. Since working out at home can become stale and boring, it’s nice to have a little variety to activate the muscle confusion factor so I jumped at the chance to review the Iron Chest Master. Let’s

I need my phone to be out of my pockets and within reach when I’m in my car. So having a car mount is not only an option, but a necessity. Unless I want my phone to go sliding off my dashboard, or sliding off the passenger seat and then me trying to find it on the car floor and under the seat, a

Time for another review for another action camera. This time this review is for SJCAM’s Sports HD DV 1080P camera, the SJ4000.

With so many headphones nowadays, I’m really surprised that wireless Bluetooth doesn’t come standard in every pair of headphones. When I moved away from the typical corded headphones I never looked back. If I had it my way, it would be wireless or nothing.

I must admit. I really like having a bag. Whether a backpack, messenger bag, or sling bag. In high school I used three different backpacks in a school year. I own two large travel skate backpacks, both the same brand and model. I couldn’t choose between the color designs so I bought both of them.

I really like the convenience and features of a hands-free Bluetooth headset, however, when I wear them I can’t get passed the stigma of the hands-free headset sticking out of my ear like a small USB thumb drive. Nevermind the ones with a boom mic protruding down the side of my face towards my mouth. Don’t get

When it comes to home security, peace of mind seems to be a factor in the type of security you get. And with several home security companies competing for your business I guess what it really breaks down to is the ease of use, added options, and the service. When I received the security system

If you are familiar with the name Pelican, then you may know that they are known for their cases that are tough, durable, and long-lasting. I was unaware that Pelican made flashlights, so naturally I was very curious on how good their flashlights could be. I assumed that if they made solid cases that they would

At first glance, the Nessie by Blue Microphones looks like an award one might receive at a music award ceremony because of its impressive stature. But it is named after the mythological Loch Ness monster and resembles it with its “S” curve and long neck silhouette. But it begs the question, does it stand up

It’s time again for another inventory of our everyday carry items, or as I loosely refer to them “my survival gear”, so I wanted to share them with the outside world. And surprisingly, I found out that I use each and every item daily in one form or another. And some more than others.

From the days of high school, through community college, til the end of college and when I got my first real job after graduating college, I was an avid fan of the backpack. Not too much these days though… At my current job, a backpack just doesn’t feel professional enough for me. Who am I kidding?

Nowadays, it seems like action POV cameras are used everywhere from TV shows to documentaries to the weekend warrior next door. But are there standards for these candid action cameras or is it just as simple as pressing the record button? For me, it’s more than point and shoot. I have previously reviewed two other
