AUKEY’s Graphite […]

BlackRapid Double Breathe Camera Harness

c Many years ago when my primary focus was videography, I would pair up with professional photographers on many jobs like weddings and fashion shows.

buckleseam messengerbag sierra15 update 01

I recently reviewed the Buckle & Seam Sierra 15″ Messenger bag, but they have since updated the product (they made it with thicker leather).  Is it a vast improvement over its predecessor? My opinion is that it is somewhat better, but far from what I was hoping for. What is it? The Buckle & Seam

Many Apple Watch charging stands I’ve seen are about this size, and they only charge the Watch itself.  This Simpeak 4-Port USB Charger Station not only charges the Watch in Nightstand mode, but the base has three extra USB ports for charging phones and tablets.  You’ll need only the included power supply to charge up

misfit path 3

Let’s be honest, the vast majority of smartwatches are designed by and for men. I’m not saying all smartwatches have a bulky masculine style, but most do and it’s time to find a smartwatch that is smaller and more feminine.

Loop High Fidelity Earplugs review

loop high fidelity earplugs 01

Over the last several years, I’ve noticed a problem developing in my left ear when exposed to continuous loud sounds (it sounds like there is cotton constantly moving around in my ear).
