The Rhino Slider EVO Motorized Camera Slider is smooth, quiet and versatile


Using a slider for video and to add interest to a scene, or for time-lapse photography, is not only fun but it allows you to extend the boundaries of your creativity. Over the years, I have spent a lot of money on sliders, always looking for the right movement, or length, or versatility or portability, etc. The latest slider to catch my attention is the Rhino Slider EVO – Motorized Camera Slider.

It is a professional motorized camera slider with a battery powered controller that like other sliders is designed for live motion or time-lapse shots. It has spring loaded legs that fold, and the ability to level the legs to accommodate any unevenness and any type of terrain.

It can also be mounted on a tripod for additional versatility, and Rhino makes rails that are available in steel or carbon fiber for weight considerations. There is also a carriage brake for locking the movement at any point on the rails.

If you would like to purchase the Rhino Slider EVO – Motorized Camera Slider, you can head over to their website and pick one up starting at $500.
Note: Accessories for motorized movement are extra.

Enfold your new iPad in Moshi’s VersaCover origami case

If you’re getting the newly-announced iPad, you’ll need a new cover.  Why settle for a cover that only wakes/sleeps the iPad when you could have a beautiful, protective cover that also serves as a three-function stand?  The VersaCover for iPad (6th gen) from Moshi does everything you need in a cover.

The VersaCover has a “shock-absorbing frame bonded to a shatter-proof hardshell case” to protect the iPad from shocks and drops and to prevent scratches to the iPad’s back.  The front cover is made of microfiber and protects the screen when it’s not in use; magnets operate the iPad’s wake/sleep function.  Best of all, the front cover functions as a stand for typing, reading, or browsing.  Inspired by origami, the folks at Moshi designed the front cover to fold like an origami figure to form a supportive stand for the iPad.

The VersaCover for the 6th gen iPad is available in Metro Black or Sakura Pink for $49.95 at Moshi.  (Don’t despair if you aren’t getting the newest iPad, because Moshi has VersaCovers to fit many iPads, iPad Pros, and even a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0.)

Make pizza outdoors in just 60 seconds

You wouldn’t know it from the cold weather throughout most of the country, but it’s almost outdoor cooking season. It’s one of my favorite things to do during the summer. The Uuni 3 takes outdoor cooking to another level. The outdoor wood-fired pizza oven makes 13″ restaurant-caliber pizzas in just 60 seconds. And if you’re not in the mood for pizza (says no one ever), it’s also great for making meat, fish, vegetables, and flatbread.

Behold the power of wood pellets

The wood pellet powered oven heats up to 900+ degrees in less than 10 minutes. That’s fast!

It’s made of brushed stainless steel and comes with a cordierite stone baking board, pizza peel (that’s the thingy you use to take the pizza out of the oven) and wood pellet burner.

Uuni 3 is even portable enough for you to take on your next outdoor getaway. Pizza, outdoors, in 60 seconds, sign me up. The price for owning your own small outdoor pizza kitchen is $299. Get yours on Amazon.

Life is too short for dumb nightstands!

I literally searched for years for a pair of vintage, mid-century nightstands that I liked and could afford.  I finally found a perfect pair just last summer, and now I’m ready to throw them out for a couple of these Sobro Smart Side Tables.  These smart tables have every feature I never knew I needed!  And the table is controlled by an app, so it’s the ultimate piece for a high-tech bedroom.

Sobro side tables have a whisper-quiet thermoelectric cooling drawer, so you’ll never have to get up in the middle of the night for a glass of water.  The other drawer locks for secure storage – and of course the lock is app-controlled.  The Sobro table has built-in Bluetooth stereo speakers for cranking your tunes before bedtime.  You’ll be able to charge any device, because the top has a built-in wireless charging pad that can charge two devices simultaneously and the base has USB, USB-C, and 120V power outlets with cable control to keep things neat.  Oh, and the legs are adjustable so you can get the perfect height for your bed.

The back of the nightstand has RGB LED accent lighting (app-controlled), and these lights can also be used to help you wake naturally by simulating sunrise.  And of course, there’s a built-in sound generator that will help you fall asleep, too.  The front bottom of the Sobro smart table has an LED light bar that’s a motion-triggered nightlight to help you find your way safely to the bathroom.  The app lets you select warm or bright-white color for the nightlight and lets you set the brightness and the duration the nightlight stays on.

And of course, this beauty is WiFi-enabled for firmware updates and to allow you to control the Sobro remotely.

Right now, Sobro is on Indiegogo with about a month left in their campaign.  They met their funding goal in less than an hour of going live, and right now they are sitting at about 1736% funding.  The Sobro Smart Side Table is available for a pledge of $379 (plus shipping) for one or $699 for a pair.  These prices reflect a savings of more than 50% off the retail price.  Shipping is expected in October 2018.  Pledge for your own Sobro Smart Side Table at Indiegogo.

If you can’t wait until Fall for a smart table, go to the Sobro website and check out their Smart Coffee Table.  It was a successfully-funded Indiegogo project last year.
