Read: 3 mins.Great Video Maker (GVM) released an updated model of its RGB LED lighting kit with the GVM 1200D. Its lights had easily replaced my previous lighting kits for studio and on-location outdoor photography. The versatility of having RGB control opens up a wide variety of shooting scenarios and would (or should) greatly appeal to videographers or vlogger/YouTube content makers.
Read: 15 mins.It has been nearly a year since I purchased my first 12V/110V car freezer, and since then I had reviewed and compared six of them. All were coincidentally rebranded units manufactured by Alpicool, but they lacked features I increasingly longed for: dual-temperature storage zones, transport wheels, removable wire racks, drain hole, and remote app control. The Costway 53qt car freezer was a popular, affordable choice among outdoorsy people with the additional properties I was looking for. Was it better than my favorite Foho appliances? In nearly every way, YES... Almost!
Read: 4 mins."Percussion massage guns were a fad", I thought until my sister-in-law lent me hers for a week. I later found it relaxing for my sore shoulders, stiff neck, and lower back after sitting in front of the computer for nearly half an entire day for several days a week. There was one problem with these massagers: they were TOO large and unwieldy to bring for travels. Research eventually led me to the Merach Pocket Massage Gun Nano as the lightest and one of the smallest massage guns available today. I gave it a try.
Read: 15 mins.Nearly a year ago, I reviewed my first-ever, electric scooter. It opened my eyes to the thrill of exploring town on a zippy, nimble transport, but standing for a prolonged period of time became tiring at times. Did the Evercross/Hitway H5 with its seat, more powerful motor, 30 mph top speed, and funky, dynamic LED lights along the deck make rides more fun and comfortable? In this review, I compared both scooters.
Read: 3 mins.Keeping the sink strained is a MUST for keeping debris out of plumbing and potentially clog things up. Take for instance an incident in 2013 at our investment property: rice grains collected into a massive, solid ball over time that completely stopped anything from passing through! Yes, rice did that! But don't garbage disposal units take care of grains? Surprisingly, no. The Kitchen SinkShroom strainer brought back some sanity and convenience into our home.
Read: 12 mins.The Jackery SolarSaga 100 solar panel previously impressed me with its rigid body, light weight, and quick deployment. However, there were times where I wanted my higher-capacity power stations (like the Goal Zero Yeti 1500x or Jackery Explorer 1000) to be charged more quickly for a variety of reasons. The solution: multiple solar panels or a single, high-capacity one. In this review, I break down the Pros and Cons of having two 100W panels versus one 200W, the Goal Zero Nomad 200. I also explored how to use the Nomad with other companies' power stations (like Jackery) and was surprised how easy it was.
