REVIEW – Photography and videography work best with light to brighten your subject or scene, and having a decent amount of illumination helps when shooting to get that perfect exposure. However, there are times when you can’t get an adequate amount of light, so just a little bit of fill light will have to do. […]

REVIEW – This has been the first summer in my new home, and I have been able to enjoy several outdoor activities including gardening with my wife. She is great at designing landscapes and selecting and planting beautiful plants. At first, I enjoyed watering them several times weekly. Now that I am very busy with

REVIEW – Everyone in my family has traded in privacy for convenience. We all share our location with Google and each other, we have smart devices listening to us throughout our house and we don’t kid ourselves that our phones aren’t eavesdropping all the time. When the Invoxia GPS tracker came up for review, I

REVIEW – My wife recently purchased one of the Series 6 Apple Watches, and she loves it. It monitors her exercise and activity, it allows her to quickly read text messages, it’s easy access to Siri, and so on. The Apple Watches are rather expensive, but she finds hers to be worth it, given all
Bellroy Watch Strap review – a nice band at a nice price Read More
REVIEW – Flashlights are important safety items. If you need bright light, it usually means carrying a big light with you. Big light = big light, right? Not if you’re carrying the new Catapult Mini from Thrunite! What is it? The Catapult Mini is a high-powered flashlight styled after Thrunite’s Catapult V6 SST70 flashlight, just

REVIEW – As I type this, it’s August here in southern Indiana where Gadgeteer HQ is located. That means that it’s hot and humid. It also means that my AC runs a LOT and sometimes the house just feels muggy inside. Besides running the AC 24/7 (which isn’t a good idea), is there another way

REVIEW – Ever since bushcraft knives first came to my attention, I’ve been a big fan, mainly because of their incredible versatility. Bushcraft knives are designed specifically to tackle a ton of difficult tasks and are purpose-built for strength and durability. Swedish knifemaker Morakniv has been in the business of making some of the toughest
REVIEW – Do you ever take wine with you to a gathering? Imagine showing up with a classy bottle of wine wrapped in a tacky plastic bag. Oh, the horror! WP Standard, maker of fine leather bags, wallets, and accessories offers up their wine tote as a means to class up your arrival. What is

REVIEW – Who needs built-in laptop compartments when you can have this? The Waterfield Double-Take Sleeve protects your laptop and your tablet with room to play, and gives you two different carry options as a stand-alone bag or an integrated part of your kit. I love functional multitaskers. To the review! What is it? It’s

REVIEW – Guitar news typically focuses on the artists themselves (and why shouldn’t it) or the core equipment (guitars, amps, strings, pedals). However, there is an unsung component that rarely gets mentioned… the guitar pick. It could be that it’s just taken for granted, relegated to band merchandising or that everyone assumes a pick is

REVIEW – I’m into interesting indoor and outdoor lighting and have written too many reviews of different products to link here. One of my favorites is the Twinkly series of app-controlled lights, like the Twinkly Strings. Twinkly is back at it, bringing new products to market. This time, it is indoor lighting with Twinkly Flex.
REVIEW – If you enjoy capturing video with your phone, then you should consider buying a gimbal. Gimbals help keep the footage stable when you’re walking around while filming. Some phones like the iPhone and Samsung Galaxy phones already have stabilization built-in, so maybe you think that a gimbal isn’t a necessary accessory for your
PowerVision S1 gimbal review – mini but feature packed Read More
REVIEW – It’s always fun when a smaller audio company comes from seemingly nowhere and begins besting the bigger boys in both price and audio quality. Case in point: Tribit. I‘ve reviewed some of their Bluetooth speakers and headphones and been impressed by both—the speakers more than the headphones. The Tribit line of speakers looks

REVIEW – How’s your desk organization game? Mine seems to ebb and flow with the phases of the moon, or maybe it’s just when inbound review products start to gang up on me. Regardless, I strive to keep my desk clean whether it’s cables, chargers or where my laptop sits. Kensington has a new solution

REVIEW – I love cookies, cakes, pies, chocolate, and basically anything with sugar in it. That might explain why I became a pre-diabetic back in 2004 when I used to eat Poptarts and regular Cokes for breakfast. Yikes! I don’t do that anymore, but I still like sweets. I just am smarter about what I

What’s

REVIEW – My large full size keyboard at my workstation has been a bit of overkill: I rarely use the number pad and could definitely use that space to the right for more mouse space. I was excited to review the Epomaker SK21 numpad and move to a smaller everyday keyboard. Overall I’m pretty pleased

REVIEW – I play games on my phone nearly every day, and while I sometimes suffer from hand cramping after long gaming sessions, I’ve never thought “I wish I could cool my phone more to get higher framerates in this game”, but here I am testing a device designed to do exactly that. Gamesir sent
REVIEW – When I started engineering college in 1984, a requirement was to carry pliers, screwdrivers, and a knife to every lab. I scrimped and saved to buy my first multitool, a Leatherman PST, to lighten my load and have carried one in my pocket every day since. Now, Bibury’s new 19-in-one multitool has EDC

REVIEW: The Kungfuking Alarm Clock for Heavy Sleepers lives up to all of its claims. They should offer a discount on EMS resuscitation services should this clock not wake you up. The alert tone used for the alarm sound is distinct and appropriately unpleasant. I may have heard this tone from other clocks but not
