Gadgets & Gear

Up until recently I had never heard of Tron or what it was about; I still don’t know what the movie is about, but at least I’ve heard of it now and made a post.  I was thinking of watching the movie, but after my last post, I know it will be a let-down.

I have compiled a list of some cool and not so cool Tron Legacy inspired merchandise.

The Light Cycle

Just like the Light Cycle from the movie, you too can ride in style on this street-legal version of the motorcycle for only $55,000.  Built by Parker Brothers Choppers, the Light Cycle replica is based on a Suzuki TLR1000 and makes use of plenty of fiberglass and steel to get the desired look.  The Light Cycle weighs 474 pounds and measures over 100 inches in length by 23 inches in width.

We recently showed you guys the Amatoya ATV with firefighting capabilities. As cool as that ATV is, unfortunately, that ATV is still in the concept phases. But I think I have just found the next best thing and the timing is perfect as summer is only months away.

This RC Car is like no other and features a hidden water gun and functional flashing Xenon lights. The two-speed turbo RC car is capable of going up to speeds of 11 mph (when turbo is used) and features advanced battery technology that allows it to run for 40 minutes on a single charge.

Features on the RC Car:

A little while ago, we showed you guys the Super Tough iPad Extreme Sleeve b G-Form which was able to protect an iPad even with a 12-pound bowling ball being dropped on it. After many customer requests, the company is now offering the Extreme Sleeve for laptops.

The G-Form Extreme Sleeve for laptops is specifically made for laptops measuring 11”, 13”, and 15”. As with all of G-Form products, RPT-Reactive Protection Technology is being used. This soft, lightweight, flexible, and water-resistant Extreme Sleeve can be put into a backpack, bag, or suitcase for additional protection from impact. The Extreme Sleeve for laptops is available in black and yellow.

In the past, we’ve brought you guys the AC Adapter Hidden Camera as a relatively affordable option for home security and making sure our significant other isn’t fooling around behind our back. But if you need more area coverage of the space being recorded, the multifunction clock with a built in motion detection night vision camera just might be the gadget that you need.

The camera can be hidden in plain sight, actually tells you the time, and of course will record when motion is detected within 20 feet. And because it has night vision capabilities, it also has the ability to capture footage in conditions with poor lighting. The camera also has the ability to record up to 24 hours of footage at a resolution of 1280×960 at 30 fps before clearing out the recorded data. The motion detection capabilities also make this camera more efficient as valuable memory won’t be wasted recording an empty room.

I’ve always been interested in spending time in the great outdoors and one of my favorite parts of the outdoors is making campfires.  Most of us that go camping usually bring matches to start a fire, but what if the matches get wet?  You could try striking rocks against each other or rub sticks to start a fire, but that’s not as easy as it seems; if you’ve watched episodes of “Survivor” you’d know some of those guys can’t even start a fire with a flint.  A better option is to take the Sparxgear Fire Piston with you. You can easily start a fire with it and it’s waterproof.
