Gtech, experts in home and garden tech, sent us the latest in their cordless trimmer range - the Cordless Hedge Trimmer HT3.0, and the matching Cordless Grass Trimmer GT3.0. It’s getting chilly out, so now isn’t the most fun time of year to be working on the garden, but what better time to test how convenient these really are?
Cordless Hedge Trimmer HT 3.0
What a fantastic interactive product.
Fat Shark is the undisputed leader in FPV goggles and headsets. Their top of the line HDO goggles are brilliant. It is a top-end box style FPV headset that has some excellent features. I feel Fat Shark has paid attention to detail and these goggles are extremely well done. The feel fat shark scout is well built but aren’t overly heavy. The Scout weighs 350 grams including the rechargeable battery.
The Edifier TWS1 has a clever magnetic charging case. It has a single red LED built in front of the case that indicate the battery level and charging condition. It only takes 1 and a half hours to fully charge and can deliver up to 32 hours (8 hours on earbuds + 24 hours with case) The charging time is only 1 and a half hours to complete and it can easily last you a week or two. It comes with three sizes of ear tips for a better fit. Pairing is pretty easy and straightforward. Provides enough bass, vocals and instruments sounds to be of high enough quality.
For photographers, designers and anyone else who edits digital images, correct colour calibration is essential. If your monitor isn’t showing you the ‘true’ colour of an image, then when you print it, send it to clients or post it online, you could be in for a shock. Screens come with a limited ability to check their calibration, but to nowhere near the accuracy that’s needed. When trying to check something so subjective yet so important, how can you trust that the work you’re producing looks the way it should?
The Cubix Ceramic Heater is a small heater that makes a huge impact. It’s quite a slick-looking thing that makes a more attractive addition to your office than a chunky white fan heater, which is what I was using before. Measuring at 26cm H x 14cm D x 22cm W, whilst it isn’t the most discreet, it’s pretty small, and incredibly powerful for it! It has two power settings, 900W or 1800W, with an adjustable thermostat that tells the fan how hot you’d like the room to be.
We’ve reviewed a few coding toys in Gadget Head, and the concept behind all of them is fantastic – get kids engaging with coding ideas now, to prepare them for what is bound to be a highly digital future. We had simple coding toys when I was a kid, but they were heavy, clunky, and didn’t do an awful lot. Today’s versions are fantastic, and Coding Critters are bringing something to the table that I haven’t seen before – props, story books, and a whole bunch of new reasons to get coding!
The Carephone GPS SOS Tracker is an incredibly easy to use and compact emergency alarm and GPS tracker, perfect for keeping track of elderly relatives, children or pets who might wander off where they shouldn't. You can programme up to 3 emergency SOS numbers into the Carephone Tracker, and can take a SIM card from any network. If the wearer has an emergency, pressing the SOS button will send a text message to all programmed SOS numbers with a link so you can see where it was when the button was pressed.
Blaze Wear specialises in heat-based products: heated gloves, heated jackets, even heated socks! However, they don’t just produce clothing, as we found when we received one of their ‘Hot Dog’ range of heated dog beds.
