EDC goes modular with Keyport Anywhere Tools

Keyport is one of my favorite companies because they think out of the box when it comes to gear. They started out with the popular Keyport Slide and Pivot key organizers and have now launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for their new Anywhere Tools.

What is it?

Keyport Anywhere Tools take the modular approach that Keyport uses with the Slide and Pivot and have applied it to EDC pocket tools that don’t require a Keyport Pivot or a Keyport Slide 3.0 to carry them.




 

Why do I like it?

I like the Keyport Anywhere Tools because they are small stackable tools that can be carried in your pocket or clipped to your bag with the Anywhere Tools Pocket Clip.

The Anywhere Tools system includes:

  • Anywhere Pocket Clip – One piece clip that uses the same modular attachment mechanism as both the Pivot and the Slide 3.0; expands the reach of our modular system beyond our universal access devices
  • MOCA II Multi-Tool – 11-In-1; added Philips Head screwdriver, and backstop so that a user can apply significant leverage without having to place a thumb on the product’s spine
  • NEBA Knife – Beefier knife in honor of our fallen team member, Nebiyu Detti
  • Pocket Flare Mini-Flashlight – More than 2x stronger than our original Mini-Flashlight; rechargeable; features edge glow
  • WeeLink Charger Cable (USB – Micro USB / USB – Lightning)
  • RuSH Module Removal Tool – Suspension clip that also assists with Pivot setup (screw/unscrew pin) and module removal
  • ParaPull Paracord Zipper Pulls – Custom pulls that can be added to either the pocket clip or as a D-ring attachment on the Pivot or Slide

Where can I find more info?

The Keyport Anywhere Tools campaign ends on 5/18/2018 and they have just begun working towards their funding goal of $20,000. You can pre-order starting at $18. After the Keyport Anywhere Tools campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in September 2018. Visit mykeyport.com and their Kickstarter page for all the details.

Baron Fig gets to the point with new Squire Click ballpoint pen

We’re no stranger to Baron Fig ’round these parts; I’ve reviewed the Confidant Hardcover Notebook, the Vanguard Softcover Notebook, and the Squire Rollerball Pen. Although I really like Baron Fig’s notebooks, I’m a bit obsessed with the Squire Rollerball Pen. Its just-right length, balanced weight, ergonomic shape and finish, and smooth writing tip all contribute to making it my daily pen of choice. Baron Fig has recently launched their Squire Click, a “clicky” variation of their original twist version. The Squire Click features an aluminum body, dimensions of 5″ x 0.35″ and a weight of 0.7oz and comes with a black ballpoint ink cartridge. Available in Charcoal and Fig Wine color schemes, the Squire Click retails for $45.00. Visit BaronFig.com for more info or to order.

The Coach phone crossbody bag is a perfect go-to-lunch bag

Unless you’re one of those ladies who can stuff everything you need in your pockets, you probably carry some sort of bag whenever you leave the house.  When you leave for work, you probably have to carry a bigger bag to fit everything you need for your job plus the things you need for the day away.  And you probably don’t want to lug that bag around when you go out for lunch or stop off to run a couple of errands on the way home.  Having a small bag just big enough for cash, cards, and a phone tucked away in your large bag makes those quick runs easier.  Coach has a crossbody phone bag that’s perfect for those quick errands or a lunch outing.

The Coach Phone Crossbody is made of smooth leather.  Inside, it has all the functionality of a normal Coach wallet, plus it has room for a phone.  The wallet has a snap closure, as does the interior phone sleeve.  It has six card slots and a zippered pocket for cash, coins, or other small items.  The strap has a 22.5″ drop so you can wear it as a shoulder or crossbody bag.  You can remove the strap for use as a normal wallet.

Closed, the tri-fold wallet measures 7″ x 3.75″.  It can accommodate all phones up to the size of an iPhone X and Samsung S7 Edge.  It’s available in black or oxblood with light gold hardware, melon or heather gray with dark gunmetal hardware, or marine or peony with silver hardware.

The Coach Phone Crossbody is $135.00 at Coach.

The MeFOTO GlobeTrotter Air Travel Tripod: Don’t leave home without it.


For those of us who pursue the adventures associated with photography and videography, traveling light is a must. We have to take so much gear in anticipation of what we might get the opportunity to shoot, that every little reduction counts.

One way to reduce weight and bulk is by using a compact lightweight tripod that can still get the job done by handling our regularly used equipment including full size DSLR cameras, etc.

The MeFOTO GlobeTrotter Air Travel Tripod is exactly such a tripod. It is sturdy and lightweight since it is made of aluminum alloy. It is capable of supporting up to 17.6 pounds and extending to 68.1 inches. “The telescoping 5-section HyperLock design allows the user to set-up and break-down the tripod with speed and ease by simply turning the rubber foot in one direction to extend the leg and in the opposite direction to lock it at the desired length”. It features an Arca type compatible ball head with an Arca type plate, and it can be adjusted to work as a monopod. The legs can be spread so that the tripod is lowered down to 12 inches, and folded closed it is so compact that it measures only 12.2 inches.

If you would like to purchase the MeFOTO GlobeTrotter Air Travel Tripod, you can head over to B&H Photo Video and purchase one for $159.00.
