LED Photo Studio Color Box Light With Infrared Remote Control – Review

This is my first review of a light source for photographers, so unless you’re already a professional light-source user, your experience should be similar to mine. The first thing I needed to do with the LED Photo Studio Color Box Light With Infrared Remote Control was mount it onto a tripod, or at least onto the ‘handle’ included in the box, because otherwise the four ‘flaps’ that cover the LED’s are difficult to manage with less than two free hands.

Rise up to a Twelve South charging stand – Review

The HiRise Duet is a dual charger, charging both your iPhone and Apple Watch so you get double the charging in half the space. One of the best features of this base is its adjustability. You loosen the rear support screw and then slide the support until it fits snugly against your iPhone case. I don’t think this will work with a beefy case, like a thick Otterbox case (I dont have one, so I am speculating) but it did easily hold a thick neoprene case I own.

Macally Adjustable Cupholder Mount – Review

Stuff has a way of piling up. The passenger seat in my small car has become an extension of my disheveled desk. While driving I sometimes blindly grope through the cash register receipts, magazines, grocery lists and unopened mail in search of my iPhone. I know its there but I really dont want to take my eyes off the road to excavate the mess that covers it. Thats why I now regard Macallys Adjustable Cupholder Mount for Smart Phones as a life raft.

FLOTE Clamp – Review

In the chaotic and inconsistent universe of iPad stands, there is FLOTE and there is everything else. The company’s ORBIT is a vertical-bar tabletop model with a heavy base, and the DESKTOP model adds an extension arm. Both stands swivel, tilt, and rotate via a powerful, round, magnetized, cylindrical joint affixed to an adjustable clamp to hold your precious tablet. The new FLOTE Clamp replaces the massive round base for semi-permanent table, desk, shelf, or similar placement.

Lifeproof LifeActiv Bike and Bar Mount – Review

LifeActiv Bike and Bar Mount is a $40 solution for cyclists who want to attach a smartphone or music player to their bike’s handlebars. If you read the clumsy instructions carefully, the mount can be attached to a bike in a minute. It took me more than an hour because the instructions were botched at a crucial step.
