First look at the Nextbase 522GW and rear window camera. #Dashcams #Motoring #522GW

It is that time of year again when we will be looking more into dash cams and home security as the short days will be coming in soon however with dash cams I have always said it they are a worthy investment and for all year use. We have covered all of the previous Nextbase dashcams and now they have a new line of cameras on offer under their series 2 models and this time round we have the 522GW with rear camera to go with it.

Today we will have a quick unboxing and I also go through the system UI which is user friendly and touch based which is great and it is easy to set up, The dash cam is more or less ready to go out of the box but you can look at the settings below in the video should you wish to change anything, You will need a class 10 micro sd card on this model as our older one would not work so keep that in mind.

Key Features: 1440p HD resolution at 30 fps, Inbuilt Polarising Filter, 3” HD IPS touch screen, 140° viewing angle, 10Hz GPS Module, Bluetooth 4.2 , Wi-Fi via MyNextbase Connect and PC/Mac software – MyNextbase Play

First look at the Polaroid One Step+ i-Type camera. #Polaroid #Camera #Photography

Recently we checked out the One Step 2 camera from Polaroid and today we have the next version of the retro camera in house which offers more features than the last and are certainly welcome features to the nostalgia which Polaroid pays homage to.

The new model offers an extra lens and better flash and this is coupled with an app that gives you more flexibility with taking photos too which is the real bonus though some might still prefer to keep it as it is and just use the camera as is, Today we take a first look and if you have any questions in the meantime feel free to ask whilst we get snapping.

This camera uses Bluetooth to connect to your smartphone, allowing you to tweak your photos with the free Polaroid Originals app for iOS and Android! With this app you can do amazing things that haven’t been possible on instant cameras in the past.

Create double exposures, light painting (long exposures), capture the moment with a remote trigger, engage the self-timer, and take the perfect picture with manual mode. This camera also allows for a noise trigger, which will take a picture when it hears a loud sound, like a clap, splash, or shout!

UNBOXING AND UI WALKTHROUGH

First look and unboxing. The QUMI Z1V projector. #QUMIZ1 #Vivitek

A projector is something I have been looking for a good while now and this is one way we can evade the licence fee we have to pay here by the way which has been big news of late and no doubt some folk use such tech today. But we have this new product out which has much to offer in a small package that also looks good and contemporary and will fit the bill for many in my opinion. We will do a quick first look and unboxing today and in the meantime if you have any questions feel free to ask. One thing to keep in mind here is the versatility of this product and its ease of use and we look forward to showing you our results in the coming weeks.

The Qumi Z1 Series is available as two models. The Z1H can project a screen size of up to 100 inches at 300 lumen brightness level with HD720p resolution. Texas Instruments’ established and respected DLP technology delivers sharp and crisp images with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio. It is feature-rich and equipped with WiFi to connect to the user’s favourite online content, while other preferred content can be preloaded onto the 8Gb onboard memory of the Z1H.

The Qumi Z1V enables users to enjoy projection with 480p resolution with a screen size of up to 75 inches at a brightness level of up to 250 lumens and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio. Like the Z1H, the Z1V benefits from the convenience of an HDMI-in interface to make it even easier to connect it to laptop devices.

 

Superb image

The Qumi Z1 Series can light up any social gathering thanks to it being able to project an image of up to 100” from any mobile device. Its advanced multi-media player and ability to display virtually any content makes the Qumi Z1H a true extension to a mobile device. Users can display their favourite apps or stream online content directly via a WiFi connection to the Qumi Z1H, or preload content to the on-board storage, or directly mirror their content from USB-C for certain compatible Android phones, via a cable. It is equally easy to connect the Qumi Z1V to USB or HDMI sources to really get the party started.

Massive sound

The Qumi Z1 Series is set to impress those who consider a smart phone’s screen too small and its volume too quiet for true entertainment satisfaction. The combination of image quality and the built-in 2x5W stereo sound performances adds to its talents as a true entertainer offering both perfect picture quality with an audio ambiance that will impress users wherever it accompanies them; to a friend’s, at parties, in a hotel room, or even at an outside movie-night, under the stars.

First look at the Polaroid OneStep 2 i-Type instant camera . #Polaroid #OneStep2 #Camera #Photography

Recently I checked out the instax mini li play and it was my first real camera but what’s different here that is an instant camera and the same as the Polaroid One Step 2 camera which has a different shape and size and gives you a similar result. What has been great with the Instax was actually holding a photograph again like most of us did many years ago only with the Polaroid this gives you bigger images on the fly.

We will be testing this out over the coming weeks and if you have any questions feel free to ask as always and check out the unboxing below..

You can pick this up at a really great price from Menkind.

This camera does exactly what you’d expect from a Polaroid. It takes perfectly imperfect, untouched, real photos that you can actually hold. (Did we mention they’re real?). But, unlike the Polaroids from the ‘70s, this camera has updates that make it perfect for today’s digital age!

For starters, this camera has a built-in 1100mAh battery that recharges via USB (cable included), so there’s no need to rely on the film having a battery attached. This also keeps the film cheaper and means that you can use the camera for up to 60 days on one charge!

In addition to the battery, this camera has updated lenses of polycarbonate and acrylic which give you a focal length of between 2 feet and, well, infinity, making the OneStep perfect for everything from selfies to landscapes! Plus, with a built-in strobe flash, you can keep shooting well after the sun goes down!
