The MusicLens Audio Glasses – sight and sound all in one!

Whenever I am out and about setting up for a photography or videography gig, I love to listen to music and “block” the world out as I focus on the task at hand. I also do the same when traveling by plane or by railroad. As an Audiophile, listening to music under any convenient circumstances gives me both pleasure and relaxation. All of the earbuds or headsets that I currently own allow me to also answer or reject phone calls, and get right back to my music without any significant effort. Now that the summer has just about arrived in NY, my wireless earbuds and my sunglasses are my mandatory accessories. Occasionally, I will forget one of the other at home, and that usually has a negative impact on my day because of loss of function and because of custom.

Today I learned that Kibey Culture has debuted MusicLens Audio Glasses with Built-In Beats. The MusicLens are bone conduction eyeglasses that are stylish, and according to the manufacturer, they produce high-quality sound while also incorporating the function of either eyeglasses or sunglasses. As an all-in-one solution, you can play music, listen to the radio, answer and reject phone calls, and because of the bone conduction technology, there is always safety because it allows you to hear any ambient sounds.

Features include Bluetooth 5.0, Smart Facial Recognition which restricts the features to your face, Smart Touch controls, automatic call answering, and FM radio, all in a design that is ultra light and water and dust resistant. The MusicLens comes in 3 styles, VOGUE or MODERN sunglasses and GEEK eyeglasses, and for the eyeglasses, you can customize your own prescription lens online for only $99. The rechargeable battery life is approximately 9 hours.

If you would like to learn more about the MusicLens Audio Glasses, check out their Kickstarter campaign. You can purchase at the early bird price starting at $69, and expect delivery in August 2018.

Wickedbone is the smart cure for your dogs boredom

If you’re a dog owner you know how important it is to stimulate your pooch on a daily basis, you can take them for walks or to the local dog park but what do you do when you’re not home. Wickedbone is a Kickstarter project that looks to keep your furry friend entertained even when you can’t.

Wickedbone is the worlds first smart and interactive dog toy. The bone shaped toy interacts with your dog using responsive triggers such as touch, lights, and sound.

There are two different modes that you can use. Drive Mode allows you to control Wickedbone using the Wickedbone App (available for IOS and Android), using the apps joystick-like controls you can choose between 9 different available motions to play with your dog.

Interactive mode allows Wickedbone to attract your dog’s attention and doesn’t require manual operations. In this mode, Wickedbone reacts to different types of touch from your dog. 

Making it the perfect mode for when you’re not at home or just too busy.

The rechargeable battery lasts up to 4-hours on a 1-hour charge (depending on the mode you choose).

The Wickedbone’s wheels and protective cover are removable making it easy to clean.

You can even customize it with different colored wheels.

Wickedbone is available through its Kickstarter page for $69. But you’d better hurry as there are fewer than 140 of the 500 Early Bird pledges left and 23 days before the campaign ends. 

According to their Kickstarter page, the Wickedbone is estimated to be delivered to backers this July.

Bastion Braza Bro EDC folding mini-knife review

One of the much-debated yet virtually universal axioms of EDC philosophy is that you need at least two items in your EDC kit: a flashlight and a knife.  While some prefer or even need to carry flashlights and/or knifes that are on the more powerful or larger end of the product spectrum, there are some (likely many) who done need or just cannot effectively a higher level of bulk or weight.  While I think I have found the perfect EDC light for me, the Lumintop Tool AAA flashlight, the perfect knife had been eluding me until I stumbled upon the Bastion Braza Bro EDC folding mini-knife crowdfunded Kickstarter campaign.  This little giant is small but very functionally packed with just about every feature I’d been wanting in a small EDC knife.  Let’s check it out!  Gadget on!

What is it?

Bastion designed their Braza Bro to be a “little brother” version of their larger Braza EDC folding knife.  Translation: the Braza Bro is smaller, lighter, and less expensive, but retains virtually all of the functionality of its larger sibling, such as flipper deployment, a frame lock, pocket clip, other features.

Hardware specs

  • D2 tool steel blade
  • Ceramic ball bearing pivot
  • Titanium-coated stainless steel frame and pocket clip
  • Stainless steel Torx fasteners
  • Flipper for fast deployment
  • Ergonomically-contoured grip
  • Keychain/lanyard hole
  • Ultra strong frame lock
  • Weight = 4.18 oz (41.9 g)
  • Length closed = 2.75 in (70.0 mm)
  • Overall length open = 4.77 in (121.3 mm)
  • Blade length = 2.12 in (53.9 mm)
  • Width = 0.93 in (23.5 mm)

What’s in the box?

Let’s start with the packaging itself, seen in the two images above.  The box is a clamshell style with magnetic lip closure and inside includes a foam tray with cutout for the Braza Bro.

Inside the box were the items shown above and listed below:

  • Braza Bro EDC folding knife
  • Standard keychain-sized split ring
  • Smaller split ring

Design and features

 

The Braza Bro was one of those items that immediately felt and looked high-quality right out of its box.  It actually looked and felt even more impressive than I expected from the pics and videos in its Kickstarter campaign.  Its Titanium-coated stainless steel frame looks and feels very solid.

I was stoked to try the Braza Bro out and immediately began playing around with it.  I was impressed with its small but functional pocket clip, a feature that I was especially happy that it had.

The Braza Bro is not only small in a footprint (length and width sense), it is also quite slim (in a thickness sense), as seen in the images above and below.  I especially liked this as well, as it cuts down on the knife’s bulkiness, which helps make this a much more effective EDC knife for me.

The Braza Bro utilizes tiny stainless steel Torx head screws to secure its frame together, as seen above.  While Torx drivers are not exactly easy to find, they are available, and if you had to disassemble the Braza Bro, it could be done.  Additionally, Braza Bro includes a small loop built directly into its frame, that can be used to attach either of the split rings include with it, as well as 550 paracord or other items that can be used to attach and secure Braza Bro.

As mentioned further above, the Braza Bro has a small but very solid and functional pocket clip.  Again, it is secured with a small Torx screw, so the clip could be removed if desired, though the clip is such a low-profile shape and size that I can’t see a reason to do so.

Above and below, I’m including several images of the Braza Bro from various angles and positions to showcase its styling, but the images don’t really do it justice.

In the image above the Braza Bro’s frame lock mechanism can be seen.  Like most folding knives today, the frame lock is a feature that “locks out” the blade into a fixed position, thereby effectively turning it into a fixed blade knife and preventing the bland from closing accidentally.  The frame lock is disengaged by pressing it slightly outward, allowing the blade to be folded back into the frame.

Braza Bro’s blade is quite complex in its feature set.  For starters, it is made from heat treated D2 tool steel with a stone washed finish before its edge is ground.  The blade’s tip is a Sheepsfoot Blade Mod Sloping Front which helps with tasks that require more of a sharp tip.  It has a Drop Point Blade Belly (or cutting edge) which is versatile and easier to sharpen.  Along the back of the blade is Harpoon Style Blade Spine that can act as a spot for the thumb or forefinger, giving more precise control when cutting.  Finally, it includes Tanto Blade Inspired Grind Lines, which give it a more tactical appearance due to having been drawn from the Tanto style heritage.  I found the Braza Bro’s blade to cut quite well for most everyday applications, such as opening boxes or letters, cutting loose threads and slicing fruit or other food at my desk at work.

Additionally, the back of the Braza Bro’s blade includes three spine jimping grooves, as seen above, which are a spot that the thumb or forefinger can further utilize to improve grip and control when cutting.

Before we get into functionality, let’s check out the Braza Bro’s size.  As seen above, it really is a small knife; it is probably as large in the open black position as many other folding knives are in the open position.  However, I think that its small size is actually a strength in Braza Bro’s case.

This is because although Braza Bro is indeed small, it is intended to pack a lot of larger knife features and functions into a small package.

Although I would prefer to be able to carry a larger knife in my EDC kit, it is just not practical for me, mainly because of where I work and what I do (engineered desk jockey). 

The Braza Bro, however, is darn near perfect for me because of its small size.  If I want to toss it into the bottom of my pants pocket, no probs.  If I want to clip it to the edge of my pocket, not a big deal, because the location of its clip allows the knife to ride low in my pocket without attracting unwanted attention.

I measured the Braza Bro to be just shy of 3 inches in length while closed.  That’s a pretty small knife.

 

I measured the total, fully-opened length of the Braza Bro to be just under 5 inches in length.

Next, let’s talk about the flipper-style deployment of the Braza Bro.  Again, like many cutting edge knives today (pun very much intended), the Braza Bro includes a one-handed, rapid deployment feature, in this case, a “flipper.”  The Braza Bro’s flipper utilizes a small nub attached to the back side of the blade that protrudes through the frame when the blade is closed.  The user places their finger, typically the index finger, on this nub and rapidly flicks the nub downward into the frame, which deploys the black rapidly in a flipping motion.  That’s it—no spring, no assist, and not an automatic blade, so it is a manual and generally much safer deployment operation than other knives.  The image above and next three below demonstrate this from starting to fully deployed position.

The flipping deployment can take a bit of practice to master, but due to Braza Bro’s solid yet smooth Ceramic Ball Bearing Pivot, it generally doesn’t take long and you are flip-deploying like a pro.  In fact, my 15-year-old son, who has little experience with flipper-deploying knives, correctly and fully did it on the first try.

Once the blade has been fully deployed and frame locked, Braza Bro can be held quite securely and comfortably due to its contoured grip which includes a choil or indentation, for the index finger, and your next three fingers fit along the grip’s contour securely.  The flipper nub becomes a finger guard for your index finger.  And finally, the three spine jumping notches provide a perfect spot for your thumb to sit and give it extra grip and control.

My one and only complain about the Braza Bro is that it seemed to have some debris, grit or grime on a few areas of it right out of the box.  I’ve attempted to capture what I am referring to in the image above.  However, I am willing to give Bastion the benefit of the doubt on this, considering that this is a product sample that they were very gracious to send to me for review even before the end of their Kickstarter campaign, which is a rare occurrence with crowdfunded items.  I’m going to chalk this up to attempting to get this item in my hands as quickly as possible, and I suspect that a final Kickstarter reward item would not have the above-mentioned debris or grit.  It just doesn’t seem consistent with otherwise very high quality Braza Bro. Edit: At work today, I showed the Braza Bro to a friend and incredibly, he produced HIS full-sized Bastion Braza from his pocket!  What an amazing coincidence!  This allowed me to take a few quick comparison pics between the Braza and the Braza Bro:

What I like

  • Superior quality of materials and construction
  • Very well thought-through design incorporates many features of full-sized knives into a very small package
  • Perfect size for those of us who can’t practically or effectively EDC a larger knife
  • The entire knife feels very solid and the flip-deploy action is quite satisfying

What needs to be improved

  • Grime or grit on various areas

Final thoughts

I really like the Braza Bro EDC folding mini-knife.  It is packed with many features of larger knives in a very small size, and because of this is perfect for folks like me who can’t practically carry a larger knife in their EDC kit.  I really like its flip-deploying action and pocket clip, and it just looks cool, which is an important factor as well. 🙂  If you are interested in Braza Bro, you may want to move quickly, because as of this writing, the Braza Bro Kickstarter campaign only has about 10 days left (it ends May 31, 2018).

Price: Kickstarter campaign pledge packages start at $34

ONEMERINOS – The World’s Best Travel & Business Socks!

What is it?
ONEMERINOS are socks made of 80% Merino wool.

Why do I like it?
I am swiftly becoming interested in Merino wool for the fact that you can wear garments made of this material multiple times before you need to wash them. Merino wool is also anti-stink, and antibacterial. ONEMERINOS claims that you can wear one pair of their socks for a whole week before you will need to wash them. That means less packing for travel.

Where can I find more info?
The ONEMERINOS campaign ends on 6/22/18 and they’ve already met their funding goal of $11,933. You can pre-order ONEMERINOS socks starting at $29 for 2 pair. After the ONEMERINOS campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in July 2018. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.

TRAWO by APEMAN -The Ultimate 4K Action Camera

blurb by Julian Perry

What is it?
The Apeman Trawo Action Camera is a 4K compact capable action cam.

Why do I like it?
I like the Apeman Trawo because it is a full-featured action camera, capable of video resolutions of 4K@30fps, 2K@60fps, and 1080P@120fps. It can also take 12MP photos. It also comes with a waterproof case that makes it great for underwater videos and photos, and it includes many other great features.

I did receive a pre-production model of this camera, and it seems to be well built. The setup was quick and easy once you select the language of your choice. In addition to the option for video and photos, there is also an option for time-lapse. The camera feels well built, and the waterproof case is also well constructed and seems to create a nice watertight seal. The package includes several GoPro style mounts, to support flexibility when mounting for action and adventure footage, including multiple mounts that can attach to a 1/4″-20mm stud. The mounts with the 1/4″-20mm threads are great for attaching the camera to tripods, and even waterproof monopods for underwater footage. The built-in ports include a micro USB port, a micro SD card port, a headphone jack, etc. There is also an app that is available to control the functions of the camera, including the ability to view live footage.

Where can I find more info?
The TRAWO campaign ends in a month and they just launched today and are well on their way towards their funding goal of $20,000. You can pre-order a TRAWO starting at $89. After the TRAWO campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in June 2018. Visit their Indiegogo page for all the details.

D-Cache: Dynamite-sized Storage Container

What is it?
The D-Cache is a large dynamite shaped virtually indescribable storage top made of aluminum.

Why do I like it?
I like the D-Cache because it’s larger than most cache tubes and you won’t lose it due to the bright red color. I also like that they plan to offer caps with built-in functionality like a compass, glass breaker, magnet, lanyard attachment, and more. The D-Cache also has a cute feature with the dynamite fuse that you can switch from different colors to remind you what is stored inside the tube.

Where can I find more info?
The D-Cache campaign ends on 6/8/18 and they’ve already met their funding goal of $4,000. You can pre-order a D-Cache starting at $17. After the D-Cache campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in September 2018. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.

Half Century Coat | An Almost Indestructible Wool Coat

blurb by Andy Jacobs

What is it?
The Half Century Coat is basically an old-school, plaid lumberjack-type heavy flannel shirt/jacket that is upgraded to probably be more durable than anything else in your wardrobe.

Why do I like it?
Spindle Collective’s Half Century Coat may look like a simple heavy flannel shirt, but it is more. Made from reinforced American wool, it is 6x stronger than cotton, anti-microbial, odor resistant, moisture-wicking, and fully breathable. Its cut is a custom, form-fitting taper with a slimming, tailored look, yet still has a true unisex fit. The Spindle Collective folks are claiming their Half Century Coat has a 50+ year durability (hence the clever name). It’s available in three plaid color patterns: red, blue, and white and each is hand serial-numbered. This is not your grandfather’s flannel shirt. Not by a long shot.

Where can I find more info?
The Half Century Coat campaign ends on June 3, 2018. To date, over 450 backers have pledged nearly $65,000, well beyond the $10,000 funding goal. Pledge packages start at $99. Visit the Half Century Coat Kickstarter campaign site for more info or to become a backer.

Rollux: The Most Versatile 2-in-1 Suitcase Around

What is it?
Rollux is a carry-on bag that transforms into a full-sized suitcase when you need extra space during your travels.

Why do I like it?
I like the Rollux because it’s like having two travel bags in one. A small 15.7 inch tall carry-on bag and a 33.4 inch tall large rolling suitcase. I also like that it has built-in USB port for device charging capability with an included power bank. Some rewards even have GPS capability so you can track your bags.

Where can I find more info?
The Rollux campaign ends on 6/12/18 and they’ve already met their funding goal of $50,000. You can pre-order a Rollux starting at $249. After the Rollux campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in September 2018. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.

DashPal – 24×7 Protection for Your Car & Driver

What is it?
DashPal is a dashcam, a car health sensor, and a car tracking sensor all in one.

Why do I like it?
I like the DashPal because it combines 3 car gadgets into one. You get a dashcam with 170-degree field of view and crash detection. You also get an OBDI adapter like the Automatic which automatically tracks driving style and trip data. And lastly, you get car health sensor that will tell you what that check engine light means on your dash.

Where can I find more info?
The DashPal campaign ends on 6/1/18 and they are getting close to meeting their funding goal of $35,000. You can pre-order a DashPal starting at $145. After the DashPal campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in June 2018. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.

Mini PC

What is it?
The Mini PC is just what you’d guess. It’s a Windows PC in a mini-sized form factor.

Why do I like it?
The Mini PC reminds me a lot of the DualCor CPC that Judie tested 12 years ago! I’m not really sure that there’s a need for the Mini PC since you can buy a perfectly serviceable ultralight laptop or Chromebook which has a larger display, a keyboard and trackpad. That said, I can’t help but be interested in gadgets like this one because it reminds me of the handheld PCs of years ago and how exciting it was to cram a Windows PC into your pocket.

Where can I find more info?
The Mini PC campaign ends on 6/1/18 and they have met their funding goal of $20,000. You can pre-order a Mini PC starting at $149. After the Mini PC campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in September 2018. Visit their Indiegogo page for all the details.
