Wireless Radio-based Flash Trigger Control for
Camera

post from Latest Gadget Reviews 4 U on 19 November 2009 01:51:00 PM. © Latest Gadget Reviews 4 U

It may not be an easy task for photographers to trigger a remote flash unit at the same time when he presses the camera button. Some photographers may need an assistant to take care of the flash unit and listens to the hand signal of the photographers to trigger the flash in time.

But now with this wireless radio-based flash trigger control, you can easily take your best shots single-handedly. The wireless Flash trigger consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is to hook into the camera?s hotshoe while the receiver is to be attached to the hotshoe base of battery-powered flash unit.

With the wireless flash trigger set up on your camera, every time you take a shot, the transmitter then sends a signal wirelessly to the receiver to get the flash to fire. In this way, the camera and the flash unit can fire synchronously within the effective area (up t0 30m).

Cheetah-Inspired Bike

Cheetah-Inspired Bike

One look at the Pardo and you’ll know that you’re looking at something different compared to your bog-standard bike. In case you didn’t know Pardo is short of guepardo, Spanish for cheetah, so you know where they’re trying to go with this. The rider is supposed to lie on the device, and use the pumping action of your legs to propel yourself forwards (to crash into something hard probably). The Argentinean designer, Pablo Lopez, actually built a working prototype, so if you’re crazy enough to give it a try, you could always ask him (politely).

Is Firefox Coming To The PS3

Is Firefox Coming To The PS3?

While the PS3 is a very good gaming machine, the built-in web browser is certainly nothing to shout about. Granted the PS3 wasn’t designed to replace your computer as a web browsing machine, but it wouldn’t hurt to have a better browser. Would going around the Internet is that Sony is in talks with Mozilla to port Firefox over to the PS3. Of course, this is still firming in the rumor bin at the moment, but we’ll have to sit back and see how this works out. Stay tuned!

Imation 2.5-inch M-class SSD upgrade Kit

post from Ubergizmo on 19 November 2009 01:24:19 PM. © Ubergizmo

While it’s not all that hard to swap out your current 2.5-inch internal hard disk and replace it with a spanking new SSD, some folks will probably shudder at the idea of swapping out the very item that holds their data. Imation looks like it’s trying to ease that fear with the introduction of its SSD Upgrade Kit, which will enable users to copy out exiting files from the existing drive to the new SSD, swap in the new SSD and after that, convert the older drive with the SATA-USB bonus case so you can access your previous hard drive like you would any USB drive. Drive options are 64GB and 128GB. The M-class drive is $110.99, while the M-Class Upgrade Kit will set you back $194.99.

Jabba The Hut Cake

Jabba The Hut Cake

We’re not sure whose dream it is to have a Jabba the Hutt cake. A Princess Leia cake we can understand (and appreciate), but a cake of a slimy green alien? You’ll probably prove yourself to be one of the most fanatical Star Wars fans if you’re happy to wolf down this cake. You have to give it points for effort though, right?

Voice Activated Spy Cam

If you’re looking for a mini spy camera, the Mega Mini Spy Camera Ultra might just fit the bill. It might not be as small as those pinhole cameras that are used to fill up the pictures in the gossip column, but it’s still fairly small. For $199.95, you can pick up the black or silver version, with other colors to be released soon. The Mega Mini Spy Camera ultra can record 30fps video at 640 x 480 resolution into the bundled 2GB microSD card, voice activation, and it supports microSD cards up to 16GB. Of course, if spying isn’t your thing, you’re still welcome to use it as a web cam and audio recorder.

Imation has officially started shipping what it dubs as “the world’s first Wireless USB external hard drive”, which is the Imation Pro WX Wireless USB Hard Drive. It’s basically a 1.5TB hard drive, which will connect to your computer via a special wireless USB connector. At $450, it’s certainly pricey, and the fact that you’ll need a special USB connector on your laptop somehow makes it seem less cool. That being said, you can’t fault Imation for trying to innovate. In case you were wondering, data transfer rate peaks at 15MB/s and the wireless range is up to 30 feet. Read the full press release here.
