Super Straps: Relieve Backpack Strain & Improve Posture

What is it?
Super Straps are ergonomic backpack straps that attach to your existing backpack to improve comfort and posture while carrying your pack by lifting the pack to better distribute the weight off your neck and shoulders.

Why do I like it?
I don’t use backpacks but I most people I know do and Super Straps looks like it could be a game changer for anyone who carries their gear around in that type of bag. And the fact that you don’t have to buy a new backpack but can add the Super Straps to your favorite bag makes it even better.

Black Panther Titanium Micro Blade

What is it?
The Black Panther Titanium Micro Blade is a small EDC pocket knife that a superhero from Wakanda would love and so would I.

Why do I like it?
I like the Black Panther Titanium Micro Blade because it’s small but mighty. In addition to a body made out of titanium which will last a lifetime, the hawkbill blade will cut through boxes, cord, etc. There’s even an optional tungsten carbide glass breaker built into the knife for emergency situations.

Why do I like it?
I like the KLOS Carbon Fiber Ukulele because you won’t have to worry about it cracking due things like humidity, dropping it, etc. It’s made a carbon fiber which is tough and durable. It also sounds pretty good. Check out the videos on their campaign page. The instruments have a pleasant ring to them.

The MAGNO Ti a uniquely designed mechanical pencil that uses magnets to insert and remove the 2mm lead.

Why do I like it?
I like the MAGNO Ti because magnets! This pencil looks really cool but when you see how the lead can be extended or retracted by moving the collar on the outside of the pencil, it just makes you want to say wow and try one for yourself. Oh, and it’s made of Titanium too!

The Zoom H6 Handy Recorder gives you the quality audio recordings that you really need


For those of us who are also into filmmaking, audio quality and the ability to capture great audio quality whether in the studio or in the field, is a mandatory prerequisite for any good production. I have tried a few portable recorders and I was not quite satisfied with the balance of audio quality and function until I purchased the Zoom H6.

The Zoom H6 Handy Recorder with Interchangeable Microphone System is a great portable recorder with really good preamps that record very clean audio. When comparing quality and cost, it is a winner.

In the box, you will find a 2GB memory card, batteries, XY and Mid-Side microphones, a hard case, Cubase entry level software, a foam windscreen, and a USB cable. The Zoom H6 features 4 XLR/TRS inputs, and records up to 24-bit/96KHz. Its modular interchangeable mic system allows you to use their proprietary shotgun mono or stereo mic or their adapter that adds 2 more XLR/TRS inputs for a total of 6 simultaneous channels. I frequently use their Zoom SSH-6 Stereo Shotgun Microphone Capsule, and it is nothing short of amazing both in quality and its ability to capture clean sound from quite a distance away. The recorder accepts SD cards up to a SDXC 128GB card, which holds an incredible amount of audio in WAV or MP3 format. It provides phantom power for condenser microphones, has a built-in speaker for playback, and 3.5mm line out and headphone jacks. It has a nice 2-inch color display and can be powered by a USB power pack, or 4 AA batteries that will provide approximately 20 hours of continuous recording. It also has a hot shoe mount that makes it easy to add to any rig or recording setup.

Visit Zoom for product details and if you would like to try it and get a great bang for the buck, you can pick one up at Amazon for $349.99.

Display your own message with the Kaptur Smart LCD Hat

Sure, you’d like a whole wardrobe of baseball caps to display all your favorite sports teams, fandoms, and quotes, but who has money or room for all those caps?  You’d only need one baseball cap with the Kaptur Smart LCD Hat.  Kaptur has a 1.8″ 240×240 TFT full-color LCD display where a logo usually is found.  Using the app, you’ll be able to create a library of images or gifs that can be displayed on the hat’s screen.

The rechargeable battery is good for 6 hours of display.  It recharges with a magnetic quick-connect cable.  Motion graphics display at 5 FPS, and the curved lens enhances and protects the display.

Kaptur is a current Indiegogo project.  The funding period ends in less than two weeks.  The cap is available in two styles: flat visor and strapback.   A pledge of $59 gets you one cap in your choice of style.  Learn more at Indiegogo.
