There isn’t a simpler way to make your dumb smoke detector smart. The Roost 9V Battery ($34.99) has Wifi built-in to the battery. This means it can alert you when the battery is low (about every 5 years), alert you when your smoke detector is alarming (even when you are away),…
Ever wanted to buy a drone/quadcopter for a curious first-time pilot but don’t know where to begin? There are tons of options from cheap quads that barely fly all the way up to higher end units with GPS and 4K cameras. No need to worry, there is a pretty solid…
In the past I have said some nice things about the VueZone and Arlo systems. As much as I love the options you get from the battery powered wireless cameras that store video in the cloud, there are some inherent shortcomings. So, I have mostly moved over to the Dropcam Pro…
This beast is the world’s first jet-powered, 3D printed UAV and hit hits 150mph. This collaboration between Aurora Flight Sciences and Stratasys is most likely the fastest unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
DJI is known for their quadcopters no doubt. They, in my opinion, are the most reliable quads on the market today. Now they are applying their proven 3-axis stabilization to a handheld gimbal, the DJI Osmo ($649) with a 4k camera along for the ride. The camera shoots 4K video…
The saying goes… the best camera is the one you have with you. It is true. And while I wish I could/would carry my DSLR camera with me at all times it just isn’t practical. So, a full 95-percent of my photos are shot with my Apple iPhone. Well things…

The Oaxis InkCase I6 ($99) is an iPhone 6 case with a built-in E-Ink display on the back. It has a tiny battery and uses…

The Aeon GoPro Gimbal Stabilizer (currently $320 on IndieGoGo) isn’t the first GoPro gimbal stabilizer on the market. There are plenty already in the market like the BeStable SteadyGim3 ($319), Feiyu G3 ($220), Feiyu G4 ($250), and the SCG Glide Gear Scopio ($229). So why a fundraiser campaign for another 3-axis GoPro?…
The single wheel electric skateboard isn’t a new concept (remember the OneWheel?) but the Hoverboard refines the idea and adds to the existing technology. It has a longer range, faster top speed, a quicker charge time, and I imagine is lighter at 25-lbs. The only wheel is a 10-inch wheel directly…
