eto is the newest device to help keep your wine fresh

NEWS – Have you ever wanted to crack open a bottle of wine, only to hesitate because you’re the only one who likes reds and doesn’t want to spoil the whole bottle? It happens regularly in our house, as one of us prefers reds, while the other prefers whites. I stumbled upon a Kickstarter for “eto: a beautiful innovation in wine preservation.”

This decanter opens the flavors of the wine while the preserver keeps the most dangerous wine enemy, air, from contacting the surface of the wine once sealed and keeps it fresh for up to 7 days. The eto is designed for wine enthusiasts who don’t necessarily drink an entire bottle in one sitting, or who want to savor their bottle throughout the week.

The eto Kickstarter has reached full funding and orders are currently shipping. However, you can still order eto via Indiegogo. Options include either the copper or stainless steel finish at a price point of $96-$109 USD each with a discount if you order multiple units. Note that units aren’t due to ship until July.

It’s January so it’s time to get fit in style with the Withings Move activity tracking watch

NEWS – January brings resolutions, and many of those revolve around fitness. Sadly, most don’t last much past mid-January, and if you’ve invested a ton of cash on what is now a very expensive clothes rack or jewelry cabinet ornament, it also leads to regrets. Enter the Withings Move activity tracking watch.

Like other trackers like Fitbit or Apple Watch, the Move can track activity, sleep, and with a connected GPS phone, track workouts and provides more analytics. The Move’s difference is that it does it with style.

Looking more like a fine watch than a piece of electronics, the Move has a unique, almost luxury look to it that both makes it stand out and also blend in.

The Move’s other differentiator is its battery life. With a claimed life of 18 months, it far surpasses both the Fitbit (five days) and Apple Watch (< one day) and beats competitors from Misfit and Fossil by six months.

The Move is a bargain at $69.95 and is available directly from Withings.com.

Silent Beacon is a wearable panic button

NEWS – The Silent Beacon is a wearable safety tracking button that connects to your smartphone, tablet, and another compatible Bluetooth device to reach out to designated contacts, 911, or an ambulance with your GPS location in the event of an emergency. With the press of one touch, you can send text messages, push notifications, and email. The device even uses a patent-pending two-way communication system that will let you use the device as a speakerphone to relay important info in a voice call to your pre-stored emergency contacts inside the Silent Beacon mobile app.

Silent Beacon is water resistant and has 72-hour battery life. To use it you just need to press two indented buttons which will make the device vibrate and will flash red LEDs lights. There is also a silent mode that allows you to call for help without tipping off those around you if you’re in a dangerous situation.

The Silent Beacon app is free, and there are no monthly fees. The personal safety device is available in four colors and is priced at $94.33. Visit silentbeacon.com for more info.

The Magbox Softbox may be the only softbox I will need


NEWS – Over the years I have purchased many photography softboxes that I have used in every relevant shoot to achieve the proper lighting and lighting effect. Usually, I use one Speedlite flash with a softbox, or I use a strobe flash with a softbox when I need more power which is more likely when I am outdoors. In order to be prepared for any and every possibility that can arise when on a shoot, photographers carry a lot of equipment or have a lot of equipment at the ready in the studio. When traveling to locations, it would really nice to be able to just carry one softbox configuration that can meet all of my lighting needs.

Magnet Mod is an established company that makes really well made and versatile lighting equipment. Their latest product is called the Magbox. It is one solid piece softbox umbrella with magnets in the base. The magnets allow for the attachment of the MagRing and then MagShoe to create an amazingly versatile system. The MagRing also allows for the use of 2 flashes simultaneously if you need to ramp up the power, and there are also diffusers and integrated gels that can be added to the mix. The following picture shows the components that together provide an amazing solution.

If you are as interested in the Magbox softbox as I am, you can head over to their Indiegogo crowdfunding page for all of the details and to take advantage of the early bird specials. You can also go to the Magnet Mod website to see the rest of their amazing products. In addition, you can go to the B&H Photo Video website and preorder the MagBox starter kit for $289.95 or the MagBox 24 Octa Pro Kit for $499.95
