REVIEW – I had been toying with idea of getting both a dash camera and a backup camera (to assist with hooking up trailers) for my 2000 Chevrolet Suburban for the past 6 months. When the call went out looking for reviewers for a dual camera dash cam, I thought “Why not try to kill […]

REVIEW – As an audiophile, I have always invested heavily in clean and capable power distribution for my audio system. These types of devices offer great isolation and clean power for each outlet and well as great protection against surges. However, for my separate smaller system like my TVs with high-end soundbars, the larger and

REVIEW – Aukey recently updated its Minima 27 watt wall charger charger. It was a quiet change – in fact, their web site still shows this as a 27 watt product, so perhaps the change was too quiet. Regardless, the new incarnation – which looks exactly like the old – is out and about. How

REVIEW – “When it rains, it pours” is not always a bad thing. I signed up to review a single Aukey Power Delivery solution, and was surprised when they sent me a box with 5 products from their PD lineup. Challenge accepted – let’s open the umbrella and start at the small end: the Expedition

REVIEW – I realize that I’m in the fringe group of people that is constantly on the hunt for a new iPhone case. It’s not that there’s something wrong with cases that I have (well, maybe a little), but more that I appreciate the detail and care that goes into their creation as I used

REVIEW – You may have seen Element Case products through the years. They’ve been building cases for a while and always like to use cool materials in new ways. Their brand has always had this motorcycle and engineering vibe to it that’s resonated with me. Vapor S is one of their new cases for iPhone

REVIEW – I love bubbly drinks, the bubblier the better. Mostly, those come in the form of soft drinks. Since I spent most of my life in Michigan, that means “pop”, not “soda”. East coasters and southerners, don’t hate me. Anyway, my pop of choice is Diet Coke, Diet Mt. Dew for the missus. Yes,

REVIEW – Storage, storage and more storage!! This is a recurring need and want for most photographers and videographers. While many fee-based cloud storage solutions are available these days, I like to be in control of all of my work, especially when I consider the number of security breaches that have occurred recently. However, to

REVIEW – Anker produces a lot of charging accessories for the never ending list of today’s power hungry smart devices. Over the past few years, manufacturer specific chargers and massive power bricks have (thankfully) fallen to the wayside. USB-A & -C, better power efficiencies, and fast-charging technologies have led the way for universal charging solutions
