This pocket-sized drone fits inside an iPhone case so you’re always ready to fly

Drones have enjoyed massive popularity throughout 2016 as consumers have taken a liking to capturing aerial footage. One of the disadvantages, however, is that quadcopters often require quite a bit of work to setup and carry around. Recently, a Kickstarter project popped up that hopes to avoid those very problems. AirSelfie (not the best name, we know) is a small drone that fits in your hand and can be folded up into a custom phone case for storing.

It is controlled via a free iOS or Android app, just like other popular drones and it can fly up to 60-feet in the air. AirSelfie works a lot like a video game. There are three flight modes that are controlled by an on-screen joystick or the accelerometer in your device. Sadly it can only fly for about three minutes, so it’s really just for taking a few aerial photos. AirSelfie churns out 5MP images or 720p video and fully recharges in 30 minutes. At this time, a pledge of around $200 is slated to deliver this miniature drone in April if the Kickstarter project hits its goal in the next month.

Of course, these $16 mini drones will do the job too…

DJI’s incredible new Inspire 2 drone takes flight at up to 67MPH and 16,000 feet

It’s been a crazy last two months on the consumer drone scene. GoPro announced its new Karma quadcopter (and subsequently recalled it) and DJI showcased the compact Mavic Pro.

https://youtu.be/XBHuftMcmis

Tablo brings its OTA DVR to Xbox One in hopes of attracting more cordcutters

When Microsoft first introduced the Xbox One, it was intended to “control the living room.” Features like OneGuide were designed to bring all of your media content to one place. Even with the addition of OTA capabilities with a small dongle, Xbox One simply hasn’t caught on like Microsoft had hoped in this area. Today, Tablo is introducing a new Xbox One-focused version of its DVR. There will be a new app designed specially for the gaming console that works in tandem with the company’s two-tuner model.

Tablo’s OTA DVR uses a traditional HD antenna to bring in local channels that are available in your area. It acts as a central hub for all of your recorded content and is then shared out to an Xbox One (and other streaming media players). While the DVR has been available to the public for awhile, its new functionality on the Xbox One bridges the gap between the gaming console and recorded content. For committed cord cutters, this is a viable option. The DVR itself is available for $220 with a required TiVo-like subscription ($5/mo. or $50/yr.) Learn more about cutting the cord here.

The N64 Anthology dives into the history behind Nintendo’s iconic gaming console

It’s been just over 20 years since Nintendo released the N64 gaming console. While we’ve come a long way in that time, games like Super Mario 64, Golden Eye, and Super Smash Bros. still ring true for avid gamers. In hopes of cashing on in your nostaglia, an upcoming coffee table book is slated for release later this month that documents the highs and lows of this mid-90’s favorite.

Matrix Powerwatch uses thermal energy from your body to energize its internal battery

One of the biggest features that separates most smartwatches on the market today is battery life. Generally, this category carries standard specs across the board for smartphone connectivity and fitness tracking. But you’ll find substantial variation when it comes to charging habits. For example, my Apple Watch needs a boost nightly but Casio’s Smart Outdoor Watch can go up to 30 days. The new Matrix Powerwatch goes even further with an intriguing thermoelectric design that uses body heat to power itself. While it is dubbed ‘a watch you’ll never take off’, your data is stored to internal memory when removed and saved for your next use.

Powerwatch can track your activity levels, including calories burned and steps taken. The aircraft-grade aluminum casing is capable of withstanding 50 meters of water while swimming and the like. There are interchangeable watch faces that display different data points depending on your needs. Smartphone connectivity relays notifications and more. Matrix Powerwatch is available on Indiegogo today for $99 with an estimated ship date of July 2017, if everything goes to plan.

Nikon’s latest DSLR focuses on consumer-friendly features and connectivity

Nikon has introduced its new D5600 entry-level DSLR that focuses on consumer-friendly features and a relatively affordable price tag. A descendant of the D5500, this camera adds new connectivity options but keeps the same 24 megapixel CMOS sensor. Nikon hopes that the D5600 will be an attractive option for budding photographers looking to make the jump from a smartphone.

Upgrades over the previous generation include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE connectivity that allow users to instantly transfer photos wirelessly via Nikon’s free smartphone app. There is a 3.2-inch LCD display on the back that tilts and swivels. It is the beneficiary of new in-depth touchscreen controls that the D5500 lacked. Nikon also added a new time-lapse movie mode that was previously only available on higher-end models. Final pricing and availability has yet to be revealed but we’re guessing the D5600 will sell for around $1,000.

Vespa is set to release an all-electric version of its iconic scooter in 2017

It’s no surprise that more and more companies are turning their attention to electric transportation. Lower prices and more readily-available charging stations are making this alternative all the more attractive. The latest of which is the iconic Vespa brand out of Europe. This week it announced that it would be rolling out a new electric scooter called the Elettrica in 2017. It will have all of the classic styling we’ve come to love from Vespa plus a few neat under-the-hood features.

Unfortunately, there aren’t many details at this time but Vespa promises an experience much like the rest of its lineup. The addition of an electric engine is guaranteed to be a hit with Millennials looking to cash-in on lower energy costs and fewer emissions. We do know that it will have a silver aluminum body with bright blue accents that pays homage to its electric power source. We’d expect the Elettrica to come in at the higher range of Vespa’s pricing model, but that’s to be expected given its history and recognizable design.

The Wrensilva Standard Hi-Fi Console screams Mad Men style with modern day connectivity

Vinyl and Bluetooth have enjoyed quite a bit of success amongst consumers over the last few years. While the former has seen an impressive resurgence in popularity, the latter has become about as mainstream as it gets. The Wrensilva Standard One Stereo Console combines both of these things into a sleek mid-century modern Hi-Fi that would make Don Draper jealous. It has it all, including a custom 300W per channel amp that powers two eight-inch speakers. Everything is wrapped up neatly in a walnut cabinet.

There is a vinyl turntable hidden away on top along with controls. Two doors swing open to reveal a storage area and access to the unit’s electronics. Aside from Bluetooth connectivity, there is also 3.5mm and RCA inputs. You can even opt to include a built-in SONOS CONNECT receiver. There’s no doubt, the Wrensilva is a gorgeous system. But it’s going to cost you. This fully custom and made-to-order unit sells for $6,950 and takes around two months to be built in San Diego. It is available for order direct from Wren Hi-Fi.

The Sunflower Home Awareness System deploys a drone when something is amiss outside

There’s no shortage of home security options on the market today, from simple products like Canary to full-on solutions from Netgear. However, it’s becoming harder to reimagine and differentiate from the competition. Insert the Sunflower Home Awareness System. A blend of outdoor sensors and an aerial drone combine to create one of the more unique solutions that we’ve seen.

How does it work? The intelligent sensor system detects movement across your property. If something seems out of place, you’ll be given the option to deploy your drone and investigate further. Sunflower uses garden lights to house the remote detectors across your property in an attempt to hide the security system. Although drones have notoriously short battery lives, you should be able to get enough flight-time to see what’s going on. This system seems best suited for larger properties, something that a traditional camera system might not cover as effectively. Sunflower has yet to release a final retail cost but you can reserve your place in line with a $100 discount included.
