Parblo A610 Drawing Tablet

The Parblo A610 is a 6″ x 10″ Digital Drawing Tablet that is feature-rich. We had to replace a similarly priced X-PEN Deco 01 V2 which only lasted us about a year before its USB-C port started to fail (we have to tape down and push in the cable to get it to work now). I certainly hope A610 lasts longer than that. And while Wacom tablets cost 4x as much, all of my Wacom’s still work (though I take a lot greater care of my peripherals than my daughter).

Fyland Picatinny Pistol Rail Adapter

Fyland sent this pistol accessory adapter to review. I tried it out on my 22LR converted Glock 17 and it worked perfectly to allow me to attach a holographic red dot for bullseye precession. And it less than $20, it’s a no-brainer to pick one up if you want to add an optic to a semi-auto pistol with a rail that isn’t pre-drilled for a micro-red dot.

Aegis200 Bodycam

My Geko Gear (yes, that’s the company name) sent me their most popular security bodycam to review. Unlike my previous bodycam reviews, this unit is professional grade equipment. It’s rugged and waterproof (to rain and sweat); just don’t make my mistake and shoot it with a high-pressure water hose. 

I misread the IP65 rating and got moisture jetted into the unit which fogged it up. I had to wait a day while I dried it out before I could film my conclusion video. You can see some residual fogging in the nigh-time video samples. 

Overall it has excellent image resolution for a camera in the bodycam category. It won’t compete with the current crop of GoPro, Osmo or current generation smart-phones in terms of video quality but it is as good or better than bodycams and dashcams in the +$200-$400 category. My Geko Gear also makes dashcams from which, I presume, their bodycams base their technology. 

While my personal use for a pro-grade bodycam is limited (I don’t work in Security or Property Management), I will likely use this as on the gun range where it’s +13 hours of battery life is perfect for a down-range target camera.
