Hi-Ho Fluffy, AWAY! Darth Vader Mounts A Kitty
See, what what George Lucas forgot to tell us was that everything in this galaxy far, far away was actually miniaturized. The Empire seems a lot less frightening now, doesn’t it? Although I’d still watch out for those lightsabers. They can probably cause some serious burns. In this rare photographic shot of Darth in all of his miniature glory, you can clearly see his mount happens to be a harmless, distractible, charging kitty… probably de-clawed. Come on, Darth man, you’re killin’ us!... Continue reading
Owle Bubo Mount Transforms Your iPhone Into a Camcorder
So the iPhone 3GS finally brought video to the world of the Apple phone, but there’s only so much you can do with the phone’s very uncamcorder-esque form factor and crappy lens. The Owle Bubo Mount not only provides a more stable method of holding the iPhone as you record, but provides a 37 mm macro lens, a real upgrade from the stock lens. Link [via]
Humane Hunting: Mounted Plush Heads
Poor, poor stuffed animals. I had to hold back my vomit when I saw these Mounted Plush Heads. Surely the result of a camping trip to the plush section of Toys R Us, I just can’t understand the allure of shooting poor, defenseless plushies, humane or not. Be sure to coordinate your puke so it doesn’t hit your keyboard. The last thing we need is a lawsuit.
Smapler: Snap-on Arduino Design
The Smapler is quite the instrument. First off, you’ll have to build it using your trusty Arduino since it’s a shield that works in tandem with the microcontroller. It’ll allow you to build some unique and interesting instruments as well. This new snap-on panel really gives it more of an instrument-like feel though, don’t you think? It features 4 knobs, two switches and a mount for your Arduino board and Smapler shield. It even has a rustic, steampunkish paint job... Continue reading
Stick It: The Gorillapad Camera Tripod
Have you ever been out with your digital camera and wish you had a tripod? It’s happened to me many times and while a tripod can dramatically improve your shot, they’re just not practical to carry around. Enter the Gorillapad. This tripod uses a “viscoelastic morphing polymer base” to stick to almost any surface, effectively turning anything into a usable tripod for a shot. The best part is that the Gorillapad can be had for less than $20 on Amazon,... Continue reading
The Cream Of The Steampunk Crop
We’ve been looking for some steampunk gear to match our new headphones and cane for a while now. Thanks to WETA’s steampunk raygun, the set is complete and I am now an official member of the Wild Wild West 2 movie crew. It’s called the “The Unnatural Selector – A Ray-Blunderbuss from Dr Grordbort’s,” and does little more than hang on your wall, looking pretty. Of course, you could always dismount it and run a muck wreaking havoc on unsuspecting... Continue reading
Lego Camera Mount Snaps The Pics
Lego bricks can be put together to accomplish almost any task as long as you have the right parts and mechanics. The Lego Camera Mount is a computer-controlled movable tripod on wheels. Using some strategically chosen Lego pieces, the creator of the Lego Camera Mount created a way for the mount to take photos on demand, while riding around on mini-treads. — Andrew Dobrow Link [via]
