Booq Python Photo Sling Review

booq python sling clip detail

Photographers are the original Gadgeteers. Meters, lenses, filters, and esoteric little bits and bobs that assist in your camera’s performance are just what the Gadget Doctor ordered! Carrying those things around, however, has always been an issue. Booq, a stylish, cutting edge creator of interesting and useful bags for portable tech, has a line of bags with the express purpose of transporting dSLRs and laptops. The Python Sling is advertised to hold a dSLR, 4 lenses, a tripod, and an iPad or MacBook (11″/13″ screens). We gave it a field test, and here’s the report.

Trident Case Kraken AMS for iPhone 4/4S Review

TridentCase KrakenAMS 07

Smartphones.  Useful, expensive, and indispensible.  An entire secondary market has arisen to provide smartphone accessories, the most prolific being protection devices.  Cases, skins, covers – there seem to be almost as many of them as there are users of smartphones, and they serve purposes ranging from fashion to actual hard-core protection.  The Trident Kraken AMS Case falls into

BookWedge Reading Pillow Review

bookwedge schettino review 01

The BookWedge inflated wedge is, well, a wedge. A wedge that inflates. At this point you know just about everything you need to know about the product, including its website. I’ll go ahead and prattle on for a few hundred more words anyway, because not only is this a wedge that inflates, it’s actually a

Skooba Design Checkthrough Security Brief, Standard Review

DSC01713

I am a big fan of laptop/gear bags, and I’m always searching for a bag that not only will protect my equipment from everyday bumps, but also hold everything that I like to carry with me.  I was very happy when Julie was kind enough to assign me the Checkthrough Security Brief by Skooba Design.

PureSound Technologies ClarityOne Earphones Review

ClarityOne earphones 1

All the earphones I have reviewed fall into two design philosophies: dynamic speaker (looks very much like a tiny speaker) and armature (the same technology used in professional hearing aids). There are advantages and disadvantages to both but the word “unique” seldom comes to mind with either type. I had been reading about the ClarityOne

Spark Aluminum In-ear Headphones Review

idAmerica Sparks 1

I have been testing id America’s Spark Aluminum In-ear Headphones for a few weeks, and I have to say that this is the first time I have reviewed a product that’s the opposite of its name. When you hear “spark”, you might think of sharp, aggressive, electrical excitement. However, the Spark earphones are anything but that.

Rickshaw Commuter 2.0 Laptop Bag and MacBook Pro Sleeve Review

RickshawCommuter2.0 01

Of late, I’ve had the opportunity to add a few chapters to my continuing saga for the “perfect” gear bag (for me at least), the most recent being an evaluation of the Tom Bihn Cadet.  Being mainly a messenger bag fan(atic), I’d been wondering if there was one out there that could supplant my venerable

LandAirSea SilverCloud Real-Time GPS Tracking System Review

EPSN3065

I’ve been playing with several different kinds of GPS tracking devices for a while, including the nu.m8 GPS Child Locator Watch. The nu.m8 GPS tracking system used a GPS receiver to determine location, and would “report” it’s location when “pinged” via SMS or computer to give the latest position.  So for the most part, it

Nyrius NAEB500 Noise Isolating In-Ear Earphones Review

nyrius schettino review 06

NAEB500 Noise Isolating In-Ear Earphones from Nyrius are a refreshing departure from the run of the mill $10 in-ear earphones one usually runs into. They’re priced at $49.95 but are widely available around $30, and as such they cost about as much as 2 or three of those knock-off earphones you’ll find in the big-box
