The Lightning Bug will give you the bug to capture amazing lightning shots!


NEWS – Some time ago, I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to review the MIOPS Smart device, which allows me to photograph water drops, and other events triggered by sound, or movement or lightning. While I have used the MIOPS Smart exclusively for water drop photography, I have been thinking about trying it with lightning which is not an easy task. As I continue my planning for the lightning test, I started to wonder if there is a similar device that is designed specifically for lightning as opposed to multiple types of events. My hope was that such a device would make the setup and process easier.

Just recently I came across just such a dedicated lightning capture device call the Lightning Bug. This device claims to provide specific functions and features to allow you the required and desired customization aimed at capturing the best lightning photos. Its features include 26 levels of sensitivity for control in any type of lightning situation (LED Bar Graph built-in), the ability to adjust frames per second from 1 to 10, and a simple 3-button control of all functions via a water-resistant soft-touch panel.

This device is compatible with a large number of various brands and models of cameras. You can see the compatibility list here.

If you would like more information on the Lightning Bug, or you would like to purchase one, you can head over to the MK Controls website or Amazon to pick one up for $179. This price includes the compatible cable for your camera.

Glide through window cleaning by washing both sides at once

NEWS – The Glider magnetic window cleaner allows you to clean the outside of your windows from inside your home.  Or you can actually clean both sides simultaneously by spraying cleanser on the inside of the glass while cleaning the outside.  The Glider consists of two plastic pieces with embedded magnets to attract them together and four squeegee blades to wipe the cleaning solution over and off the glass.  The kit also includes two microfiber cloths, which can be used to dry and polish after squeegeeing or can be used wet for extra scrubbing power.

The Glider is made of ABS plastic, EPDM rubber, and rare earth magnets.  The outside piece has an attached 6′ string with a ring to wear on your finger to prevent it from falling.  That feature would be very important at my house – which is a 12th floor condo.  The cleaner measures 2″ x 9.6″ x 4″, so it will clean a nice, wide swath with each pass.

You’ll choose The Glider that works for the thickness of your window:  single-paned window 0.08″ – 0.3″ for $45.00; double-paned 0.3″ – 0.8″ for $68.00; or double-paned 0.8″ – 1.1″ for $78.00.  All three sizes are available at The Grommet.

This handheld gadget will wash your dirty dishes for you

NEWS – It may look like a weapon or an alien medical probe, but the true purpose of this gadget is even more bizarre. This Japanese gizmo called a Kurara Wash (I think…) is designed to wash your dishes. That’s right, it’s a motorized handheld dishwasher that cleans food residue from your plates, bowls, and cutlery one at a time.

If you think that this device looks like it takes more time and effort than just sucking it up and washing your dishes the old-fashioned way in a sink with a soapy scrubby pad, I think you’re right. But hey, let’s give the inventor a little credit for coming up with the contraption. Even if it is only for a laugh. Check out the video below.

The cost of the Kurara Wash is 8,800 Yen which converts to about $79 USD on Thanko.jp or you can find a similar product on Amazon for the same price.

True Wireless Starship E70 Pro earbuds look out of this world!


NEWS – For those of you that have been keeping up with my news stories, you can probably guess that by now I have become totally intrigued by and immersed into the world of wireless earbuds. My quest to find the best of the best by my standards has led me to all different types and sizes of earbuds, with every manufacturer claiming superiority, or victory in the industry.

The True Wireless Earphones Starship E70 Pro is another pair of earbuds that seem to be well liked and seem to have some credibility to their claims and status. I have come to this conclusion based on what I have read on their website, including reviews. They also captured my attention because of the uniqueness of their design and appearance. The specifications claim the following: 4 charges per 1 case charge with only 1 hour required to fully recharge the earbuds, up to 6 hours of listening/call time, and 150 hours of standby time. The stable connection utilizes the latest Bluetooth 5.0 chipset.

If you would like to read more about the True Wireless Earphones Starship E70 Pro earbuds, you can head over to the Raycon Global website. You can also purchase from Amazon for $79.99.
