Wireless Presentation Clicker

This is a handy little presentation clicker with an emphasis on tiny. About the size of a whiteboard marker, this has a next and previous slide button, a laser pointer, volume control, and is AAA battery powered. It also comes with a USB-A (that’s the big flat standard USB-A connection) and the newer USB-C connected dongle that fits inside the clicker. Attach the USB dongle to your computer and the clicker connects wireless via Bluetooth as a pseudo-keyboard.

EZShot Budget Weapon Light

The EZshoot Rail Mount LED Tactical Flashlight 750 Lumens Magnetic USB Rechargeable Weaponlight

The EZShot is a 750-lumen budget weapon light that tries to deliver the features of lights that are 2 to 5 times the price like Surefire, Streamlight, and Olight. Its over-built construction makes it appear chunky; presumably allowing it to withstand impact and physical abuse.

But perhaps they should have built it more like a sub than a tank. A lack of o-ring seals is its Achilles heel making it vulnerable to water creeping in through the lens and the head. On the plus side, if you hate strobe mode, you can only activate this through a separate button on the body that can not be activated accidentally. And after testing I can confirm that it does output more than 750 lumens.

For a budget weapon light, it functions well. But like a Gremlin, don’t get it wet.

A Guide to Budget Mini-Tripods

https://youtu.be/UnenP1fZlXY

With the miniaturization of action-cams and smart-phones, we no longer really need full-sized SLRs or VideoCams. Smaller, lighter, recording devices means smaller and lighter stands and tripods. I review two popular formats for mini-tripod/photo stands. Ubeesize budget mini-tripod and Elegant selfie-stick tripod. Ideal for travel vloggers and photographers. They have limitations but in a pinch could be used as a photo or video tripod for DSLRs and phones.
