Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
The Kehan Dash Cam, model C891N, is a very good camera. It’s too bad I can’t love it. The picture and sound quality are excellent. The dash cam is easy to install, as long as you are willing and able to wedge the included cable between the windshield and car interior and can contort yourself to secure […]

In 2011, I reviewed the AntLion ModMic, a boom microphone that you attach to your own headphones. The latest version is the ModMic 5, which now includes a mute switch, selectable omni/cardioid pattern, and more. How does it sound? Let’s find out.

Good lighting is very important if you do a lot of reading or other activities like crafting. Overhead lights can help, but a good desk lamp can make all the difference. BenQ recently sent me their WiT e-Reading LED desk lamp to review and I think it’s the best desk lamp I’ve ever used. Let

My family and I really enjoy traveling. Whether it’s a day trip or a week-long adventure, there are few things better than a little getaway. As a family of tech enthusiasts, everyone has their favorite gadget(s) they want to bring on a trip. Most of the time, we need immediate access to our gadgets and

Back in February, I reviewed the Samsung SmartCam HD Plus and found it to be a good alternative to other popular home security cameras that are currently on the market and charge a monthly or yearly fee to use their cloud service. Samsung doesn’t charge extra to use their camera. They recently sent me their SmartCam

The dash cam market is a crowded place. It’s so crowded, I’ve kind of given up on searching for “the best”. Recently, Waylens released a dash cam called the Horizon that not only boasts excellent image quality but gives the driver the option to overlay vehicle information such as speed, RPM, GPS and more, all

I’ve been interested in 3D printers for a long time but the price and complexity of creating models kept me from buying one. In the last couple of years, the price of 3D printers has come down to a level that ordinary people can afford, but I’m not sure the complexity issue has been changed much…

Of all the tools, toys, gadgets, etc., my cell phone is the one device I couldn’t survive without. I’d sooner get rid of my car than my cell phone. That may seem extreme, but my phone functions as my calendar, camera, music player, photo album, and GPS; not to mention, I occasionally use it to

Despite the power-hungry gadget count in my home, I don’t have an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). I just never got around to it. Power outages aren’t very common where I live. However, my son has been doing a lot of writing for homework on the computer, and it would be a shame to lose his

The Revogi Smart Color Lightstrip, Smart Color Lightstrip (USB version), Delite 2 Smart LED Lightbulb, Smart Candle Light and the Smart Meter Plug; I received all 5 of these products for review at the same time. It was a gadget reviewer’s dream early Christmas!

I cut the cable cord about 15 years ago. We then purchased an over-the-air (OTA) antenna to receive our basic channels and have done well enough with that and services like Netflix and Amazon Prime. OTA antennas can be a pain in the neck because you are constantly trying to find the best spot to

When it comes to backpacks, you can never have too many, right? Especially if you are a student, or a frequent traveler, or a wandering nomad. Brevite makes a line of bags that are designed especially for folks who regularly carry photography equipment, but I find that their bags are great for just about anyone

In my almost 20 years of reviewing products, this has to be the most and the largest boxes that I’ve ever received for one review. What is it you ask? It’s the “it bed” by Sleep Number. But Julie, you review gadgets, how is a bed a gadget? The it bed is no ordinary bed,

When I reviewed the Thinksound On1 headphone, I came away impressed with their good build quality and warm, inviting sound which belied their monitor name. To my ears, monitors are all about accuracy—even at the expense of fun and engaging. That’s where the On1 headphone failed and succeeded. Now, Thinksound has replaced the On1 with

IK Multimedia who are well known for their audio and video accessories for mobile musicians and media creators have a new product that’s been designed for cameras and smartphones. It’s the iKlip Grip Pro multifunction iPhone and camera stand. Let’s take a look.

Back in 2012 I reviewed Wicked Lasers’ first generation Torch and in 2014 their second generation more polished FlashTorch. Both touted at the time as “the most powerful handheld flashlight in the World” and at a whopping 4100 lumens, they were wickedly bright, extremely hot, but rather large. The designers at Wicked Lasers have recently introduced a

I have lost track of the number of leather wallets I have gone through over the years. I am sure the same thing has happened to you… at some point they all fall apart at the seems. This problem inspired American Benchcraft to create a line of leather products that are crafted not with stitched

One year ago I posted my review of Peak Design Everyday Messenger Bag. Although I liked the bag, I didn’t make it my main bag until March of this year. Since then it has become my favorite gear bag that I carry every day. Peak Design followed up their successful Everyday Messenger Bag Kickstarter campaign

One of the best parts of being a father is being able to play with toys with my children. Despite my age, I’m still a child at heart; I have roughly the same maturity level and attention span as my children. I often find myself having just as much fun with my children’s toys as they
