GardePro X66 Pro Cellular Trail Camera Review: Keep an Eye on Wildlife Where Wi-Fi Doesn’t Reach

I live on 12 wooded acres in southern Indiana and enjoy spotting wildlife such as deer, turkeys, possums, raccoons, coyotes, and even a bobcat, which my American bobtail cat, Ozzy, once chased away. I use several trail cameras, but my property is too spread out for every camera to reach home WiFi. The GardePro X66 Pro cellular trail camera solves that problem: it doesn’t need WiFi, only access to a supported cellular network.

DJI Osmo Action 6 Goes Big on 8K, Smarter Framing, and a Better Amazon Bundle Deal

The DJI Osmo Action 6 brings several useful changes to the action-camera category, including an adjustable f/2.0 to f/4.0 aperture, a new 1/1.1″ square sensor, 8K/30fps recording, and 50GB of usable built-in storage. This Amazon bundle also includes two extra batteries, a 64GB microSDXC card, and a 58-piece accessory kit, so you won’t have to start hunting for mounts and spare power before you’ve shot a single clip. It’s still a small, rugged camera meant to go places your phone shouldn’t, but DJI is giving it enough flexibility to handle far more than bike rides, ski runs, and snorkeling trips.

RayNeo Thinks 1 Pair of Smart Glasses Can’t Do It All, So It Built 3

RayNeo is heading to IFA 2026 with a smart glasses lineup that’s less interested in finding one pair to do everything than in splitting the job three ways. The RayNeo iO Smart Glasses focus on lightweight, glanceable information and translation, while the RayNeo GT and GT Max aim at private big-screen entertainment. A new Pocket TV Pro supplies Google TV and Dolby Vision playback for the GT models. Together, the products cover work, travel, presentations, gaming, and streaming, though each asks you to accept a different balance of weight, visibility, battery life, and price.

GKU E200 4K+4K Dash Cam Front and Rear Review: Sharp Video, Smart Voice Controls, and Peace of Mind for Less

The GKU E200 Dash Cam gives you peace of mind for a very reasonable price. After I turn on my truck, the GKU E200 starts up and begins recording within 14 seconds. The 4K resolution is super clear, even through glass. The app is easy to use, and a hardwire kit is available separately for constant monitoring when parked. I hope never to need it, but I’m glad I finally got a dash cam for that extra peace of mind.

EPOMAKER Glyph Keyboard Review: A Mechanical Keyboard with Retro Typewriter Vibes

I’ve reviewed dozens of keyboards over the years, and I continue to look for unique features in new keyboards that make me want to accept offers to review them. Today we’re going to take a look at the EPOMAKER Glyph keyboard. I accepted the offer to review this one mainly because of its looks. The Glyph gives a modern twist to a keyboard that has a retro style. Does this one just have a pretty face, or does it offer a true benefit over all the other mechanical keyboards on the market? Let’s answer those questions and more.

Mileseey S50C with Camera and Mileseey S50 Green-Beam Laser Measures Review: Ditch the Tape Measure and Get Seriously Precise

The common tape measure was invented over 140 years ago and has seen few improvements since. Handheld laser measuring devices showed up in the 1990s and were quite the rage. However, they only had one feature: “How far away is that thing I’m pointing the laser at?” Mileseey has turned that single feature into pocket-sized measuring supercomputers. The Mileseey S50 and Mileseey S50C with Camera Green-Beam Laser Measures are two capable devices that add many new features to taking, tracking, and calculating measurements with a laser.

Versa Gripps Pro Review: Get a Better Grip and Push Your Lifts Further

I’ve done a lot of different strength training over the years. Whether it’s powerlifting, climbing, rowing, kettlebells, or dumbbells, you will stall out if your grip isn’t up to the task. Your hands contain 34 muscles, and if they’re not up to the task, you’ll find yourself failing your lifts. Versa Gripps are designed to give your grip an assist that helps you push your strength training to the next level, and we had the chance to put the Versa Gripps Pro through some workouts to test those claims truly.

One Desk, Three SteelSeries Heavy Hitters: Arctis Nova Pro Omni, Apex Pro Gen 3, and Aerox 3 Wireless Gen 2 Reviewed

SteelSeries turned 25 this year, and the headset it built to mark the occasion is the reason we’re writing this review. The Arctis Nova Pro Omni is a $399.99 flagship that promises to be the only headset you need across every platform you own, with a swappable battery system meant to end charging downtime for good. SteelSeries also sent along two companions from the current lineup, the $259.99 Apex Pro Gen 3 keyboard and the $109.99 Aerox 3 Wireless Gen 2 mouse, so we built a full station around the Omni and lived with all three for several weeks.

BougeRV CRD2 V2.0 43QT Dual Zone 12V Portable Fridge Review

If you have ever had to reach into a soggy cooler full of melted ice water just to grab a floating, waterlogged hot dog, you know the pain of traditional road-trip logistics. The BougeRV CRD2 V2.0 43QT Dual Zone 12V Portable Fridge aims to send ice bags into permanent retirement. I am currently building an off-grid cabin, and this is the kind of product I will use to get through weekends hunting and working at the ranch.

Start Your Riders Early with 3 New Segway Kid-Focused E-Scooters!

Electric scooters are just plain fun. There’s something about zipping around on a motorized scooter that makes you feel like a kid again. The funny part about that is, normally you wouldn’t stick a kid on an e-scooter…unless they’re part of the new Segway line of kid-friendly e-scooters! After all, start them young, and they’ll be zipping the streets of Brooklyn on Segways well into their 20s!

Cuisinart Cool Combo Ice Cream Maker and Snow Cone Machine Review: Two Frozen Treats, One Countertop Appliance

The Cuisinart Cool Combo does exactly what the name promises: it churns genuinely great homemade ice cream, and it shaves ice for snow cones. The ice cream side works the way Cuisinart’s freezer-bowl machines have always worked, which means planning ahead – the bowl needs a day in the freezer and the base needs a couple hours in the fridge. Put in that prep, though, and you get ice cream that tastes great and a shaved ice function that impressed the whole family. At $99.95 for both functions, it’s an easy recommendation for families who want frozen treats at home.

SweetNight Coolnest Pro 16-Inch Mattress Review: This Mattress Is Great at Providing a Cool Night’s Sleep!

Good sleep is a thing to treasure. I’ve never gotten a mattress in a box before, but the SweetNight Coolnest Pro 16-Inch Mattress combines layered foam, cooling fabric, and solid support for comfortable sleep without lingering body impressions overnight. The mattress is excellent; it has multiple layers of materials designed to improve comfort and provide a durable, cool mattress. The layered approach prevents the mattress from being too soft or creating body-shaped divots that are hard to get out of, making it and strong option if you’re in the market.

SJCAM SJ30 8K Dual-Lens Action Camera Review: Can It Compete with the Big Boys?

I enjoy testing small cameras to see whether they can replace or augment my iPhone for capturing video content. Most of the time, I rely solely on my iPhone, but other times I want a dedicated camera. I’ve reviewed many SJCAM cameras over the years, and while they are well-made and easy to use, they haven’t been quite good enough to earn a permanent spot in my camera toolbox. When the offer to review the new SJCAM SJ30 8K Dual-Lens Action Camera came in, I was curious enough to accept. Will this one be the best SJCAM yet? Let’s find…

The InfiMaker K1 Makes 5-Axis CNC Machining Look Almost Too Easy, and It’s Launching Soon on Kickstarter

On August 11th, 2026, I was invited to a Kickstarter Launch Event in San Francisco for the InfiMaker K1 5-axis CNC, a sleek desktop machine with powerful capabilities for experienced makers and hobbyists alike. I have personally stayed away from things like 3D printers– I’m not creating things to sell on Etsy any time soon. The learning curve seems slightly daunting. I’ve played with laser engravers and copycat CNC routers with varying degrees of frustration. But a 5-axis CNC? No way I’d be able to wrap my head around that. Or could I?

Developed and produced by n+ under license from Volkswagen, the new eBikes will make their public debut at IFA Berlin from September 4 through 8, 2026, with test rides available on the Mobility Test Track. The idea is straightforward: give riders more information about traffic approaching from behind without forcing them to look away from the road ahead, while making the rider easier for drivers to see.
