Tips & Reviews

Phones, Tablets, & Micro PCs

Smartphones have become the standard "pocket PCs" for everyone, providing us with any information at the tap of a finger. Having a powerful device like a smartphone allows for snapping photos, connecting with friends and browsing the web, but sometimes a bigger screen is better for watching videos. Tablets aren't nearly as portable, but provide a far better viewing experience. Micro PCs eliminate the viewing screen and input devices, instead becoming "grab and go" computers that can be operated via normal keyboards and mice, with the portability of a wallet.

Headphones & Speakers

Music lovers know that leaving home doesn't mean you need to sacrifice audio quality. A solid pair of headphones might be a little more expensive than the free ones your cell phone came with, but they make all the difference when pumping out your favorite jams. There isn't a better time to enjoy good tunes than when linking up with friends for a poolside BBQ, beach bonfire, or camping excursion. The boom box may be dead, but Bluetooth speakers are optimal for sound quality away from outlets.

Portable Drones & Gimbals

An adventure can begin at any time, and capturing the excitement on video makes for some epic footage— with the right equipment. Portable drones allow for mobile, aerial videography without adding a ton of weight by using foldable arms and lightweight controllers. Most collapsible drones also have very light batteries, so tossing a couple in the pack ensures plenty of flight time. Handheld gimbals can turn a simple smartphone video into a quality piece of content by eliminating unwanted wobbles and absorbing motion.

Electric Transportation

Bikes and skateboards are great for getting around short distances without a car, but they work up a sweat. Electric personal transportation eliminates that, and speeds up the journey. Some electric bikes and boards can travel upwards of 20mph and have a range of up to 20 miles, which makes them great for commuting in the city. For running quick errands and having a little fun, electric personal transportation is tech that makes getting around a little more thrilling.

Wearables & Gadgets

Staying active doesn't mean you have to leave the tech on the desk. Fitness trackers and smart watches now deliver personal data anywhere you go, so you can always stay connected to what matters. Monitoring your heart rate, steps, receiving text messages, and making calls is seamless with wearable technology. For your power needs on the run, a dead battery is never acceptable. Portable power banks make for great emergency devices to keep stored away, just in case.
