Hasta La Gadget!

The camera in our smartphones have advanced to a point where there is no longer a need to carry around a dedicated point-and-shoot camera, since it does the job pretty well by itself, and much more in certain models. Having said that, how many of you have not touched your Micro Four Thirds or DSLR shooter in the week, simply because your smartphone camera is so much more convenient? Well, with the $19.99 Slingshot Smartphone Tripod and Stabilizer, you will be able to make far more use of your smartphone camera, where it functions as a universal smartphone tripod and stabilizer, helping make sure that unwanted wiggle in videos or blur in photos are a thing of the past.

Apart from that, the Slingshot Smartphone Tripod and Stabilizer will also arrive with an adapter that will allow other phones to be attached to tripods. It does not matter whether you are walking on the iOS or Android divide, the Slingshot Smartphone Tripod and Stabilizer will be able to turn your once amateurish videos and photos into something that is way more professional looking. The slingshot bit of it will rely on adjustable cables to lock in your phone, allowing it to play nice with majority of devices out there. All you need then is just one hand to hold your phone steady, while the other would operate the controls in a jiffy.

Wahoo Fitness has come up with yet another device for fitness buffs, which is the RPM Cadence Sensor. This is a lightweight and hassle free manner of tracking cycling cadence. It sports a convenient magnet-less installation and feather light weight of just seven grams, allowing the RPM to be attached to any bicycle in a jiffy as it shows off cadence data through the use of popular cycling apps. If you want to pick up the RPM, it will be available for $49.99 a pop, or you can opt for it to be bundled with the RFLKT Smart Bike Computer for $149.99.

Just how will the RPM Cadence Sensor work? For starters, it will be able to hook up wirelessly to the user’s iOS device thanks to Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, where it will then be able to send cadence data to top cycling apps such as Wahoo Fitness (but of course), Strava and MayMyRide. Being different from the majority of speed and cadence sensors, RPM happens to be magnet-less, which translates to an easy setting up experience. LED lights will flash whenever it is connected to depict the fact that a wireless connection has been established, making sure that you know right from the very beginning that data is being actively logged. Apart from that, there is also no need to juice up the sensor at all, as it will be able to run on a single coin cell battery for up to two years so that the sensor can remain on the user’s bike between rides.

Among the features that can be found in the Wahoo Fitness RPM Cadence Sensor would include the ability to pair itself up with the Wahoo Fitness app in addition to other popular cycling apps, and being compatible with the iPhone 4s, 5, 5s, 5c, iPod touch (5th generation), and iPad (3rd and 4th generation). This should be a “must have” purchase for any cycling enthusiast who wants to up his or her game.

Just how creative can we get? Apparently, the limits for creativity has yet to be reached, as new kinds of art are being churned out every single day. Having said that, the Panono throwable panoramic ball camera has generated its fair share of interest ever since the idea of it was introduced to the masses, and the team behind the Panono is currently working on its final development. Their efforts have not been in vain at all, since they ended up procuring camera modules with better optics and higher resolution which will be able to boost the camera from 72 to 108 megapixels, giving the Panono the proud distinction of being the first consumer camera to exceed 100 megapixels.

Here is a little bit of background history for those who want to know what the Panono is all about. It comes in the size of a grapefruit, and is obviously ball-shaped, while sporting three dozen (that’s a whopping 36!) camera modules that have been embedded all around it. These camera modules will be able to fire away simultaneously when it is thrown into the air, allowing it to capture everything in every direction in 360° X 360°, delivering fully spherical panoramic images.

With the inclusion of upgraded optics and higher resolution, consumers can now zoom in to see even greater detail when they view their Panono panoramic images on their computer or mobile devices. Checking out a panorama on a mobile device is a snap, thanks to the free Panono App which will offer a fully immersive experience as you will be able to move the images through the simple act of tilting the device up or down, and left or right, as though you were inside the image itself. Those who are interested can pick up the Panono over at their Indiegogo project page.

Now that Christmas is over and you still have a few more days to go before you usher in the brand new year, how about starting to think about your fitness regime for 2014? After all, you have already had your fair share of crazy parties that would surely have added an inch or two to your waist, which means it is time to take a look at your gym membership terms and conditions again to see if there are any other better offers elsewhere. The $79.95 Automatic Start Gyroscopic Dumbbell might be worth looking at, as you might be encouraged to hear that it has been used by astronauts and professional athletes in order to help them tone and strengthen their upper body muscles.

The Automatic Start Gyroscopic Dumbbell works this way – press a button, and it will start to get to work. All you need to do is to hold the tennis ball-sized device and rotate your wrist in order to maintain the rotation of the gyroscope so that as it spins up to 15,500 rpm and provides up to 45 lbs. of torque resistance, the entire gamut of your wrists, biceps, triceps, and deltoids will be strengthened. In a study that was performed by Southern Utah University, it showed the gyroscopic dumbbell to be able to increase one’s maximum handgrip strength by an average of 11%. Not only that, since this exercise is low-impact, it can also increase the range of motion in hands while helping to rehabilitate carpal tunnel and tennis elbow injuries. Just make sure you have two AA batteries on hand always.
