Camp Snap had a bit of a successful run recently with the 103B, a basic digital photo camera that mimicked the styling of disposable film cameras of yore. You know… those compact rigs that used to make for excellent travel cameras. We still don’t understand how that thing became so popular. While we ponder that, the outfit just released the Camp Snap CS-8, a digital video camera designed to look like Super 8mm retro camcorders. Unabashedly taking inspiration from the Kodak Super 8, the camera reprises the original’s one-handed form factor, allowing you to shoot videos while holding your camera…

There are pool days, and then there are pool days with gear so good it feels like you accidentally unlocked the deluxe version of summer.As a mom of two young kids who spend a lot of time at the pool year-round, I have quite a bit of firsthand experience with what actually helps, what gets ignored, and what’s absolutely worth schlepping in the bag. I’m talking about the stuff that keeps little kids safer, buys parents a little more peace, and makes the whole experience feel way more fun than hauling a bag of damp snacks and praying nobody slips,…
Shoe-mounted fill lights are great for shining a light on your immediate subjects during shoots. While they work great for traditional photography equipment, they’re not quite as useful for 360-degree cameras, which require the same illumination for both the front and rear sides. The Harlowe Omni 360 2W Video Fill Light is designed specifically for that. No, it’s not the first lighting accessory of its kind, with many outfits already selling similar 360-degree fill light designs for shooting spherical footage. It is, however, one of the most affordable we’ve seen yet, making it a great choice for anyone not wanting…
There’s been no shortage of Mandalorian and Grogu toys ever since Baby Yoda first graced our TV screens on Disney Plus.

Booking a flight to a far-off destination is exciting, but travel isn’t always easy on our bodies; in fact, it can come with a lot of discomfort, particularly in the lower body region. Compression socks are a popular solution for the leg pain, swelling, and fatigue that can come along with long plane rides or 12-hour days on your feet spent exploring a new locale — but it’s important to know exactly what you’re buying and why before filling up your carry-on with compression socks. Compression socks are measured in mmHg (which stands for millimeters of mercury), and the higher…
When furnishing a living room, bedroom, or private study, reading chairs are always good pieces to consider adding to the space. These small chairs take up a limited amount of room, while having a substantial effect on the area’s overall feel.
