2019-12-20
We earlier post we made a download for Santa Claus, in which we collected drones perfect for a Christmas present. However, what if the recipient prefers more 'down-to-earth' attractions or is a practical person and likes gadgets that further enhance everyday life? In such a situation, we rush to your aid and give you some of our suggestions for a special gift for a special person.
1. Oculus Quest VR goggles - another reality at your fingertips
Virtual Reality or simply Virtual Reality created using the latest information technology is definitely a breakthrough of the 21st century. Already, the media and technology news experts are predicting that 2020 will belong to VR, not only in terms of entertainment, but also in an educational context. Oculus Quest Goggles are autonomous, so there is no need to connect them to a computer. So-called. 'Oculus' is stripped of all wiring, so all you need for an unforgettable experience are the goggles, two wireless Touch controllers that bring your hands and gestures directly into the game, and a piece of the floor. Oculus Quest is a remedy after traditional computer games, which are played for hours, often sitting in an incorrect position. They encourage physical activity and are a fantastic way to spend time with family and friends.
2. DJI Robomaster S1 - a breakthrough in learning programming
Robomaster is probably the most technologically advanced toy available on the consumer market. It is designed to help nurture future programming and coding specialists, while providing unusual entertainment. A key feature of Robomaster is the ability to program it with Sketch 3.0 and Python languages. You can make a great playmate, helper in the kitchen or garage out of a robot. We can also arrange robot battles or obstacle course competitions. We have already written about this ingenious toy in article, and on our facebook profile you can watch video showing the robot in action :).
3. AfterShokz Aeropex - next generation bone headphones
We have written about the bone headphones many times before, repeatedly praising them - as a Team we work wearing them for up to 8 hours at a time. Bone conduction helps protect ear drums from damage by high tones - sound is conducted through vibration via the bone pathway . At the same time, through uncovered ears, ambient sounds coming in through the air reach us.
Your child listens to music a lot while cycling/running and you want him to hear approaching vehicles - AfterShokz Aeropex headphones are an ideal Christmas gift. The bone headphones will also work well as a gift for adults - as a gadget to facilitate work or improve daily activities We wrote about the benefits of using AfterShokz Aeropex here.
Aeropex is the latest model of AfterShokz headphones, the sound quality and wearing comfort is the best among all bone headphones on the market. Nevertheless, for a good start, we also recommend models from our Winter Sale i.e Trekz Air and Trekz Titanium.
4. GoPro Hero 8 Black - extremely good quality and stabilization
This fall, GoPro has released as many as 2 cameras - GoPro Hero 8 Black i GoPro Max. Hero 8 Black is the first camera from the American manufacturer that changes the target a bit - in addition to the typical sports use, this super rugged, handy and waterproof camera, from now on is also a brilliant equipment for recording vlogs. The Hero 8 Black is equipped with an HDMI-out port, a 3.5mm microphone jack and 2 mounts for additional modules - a dedicated microphone, a tilting screen and LED lighting. Plus touchscreen, improved HyperSmooth 2.0 stabilization in all resolutions, improved HDR, 100 Mbps bitrate also available in 4K and 2.7K modes.
For fans of spherical recording, on the other hand, we recommend the aforementioned GoPro Max, which records 360-degree video in up to 5K. The assets of this model are m.in.: the possibility of editing to the so-called flat form, which allows us to select the appropriate frame after recording, without having to rip the material to a computer, spatial sound recording thanks to up to 6 microphones, touch screen or HyperSmooth stabilization.
5. Osmo Mobile 3 - the best smartphone gimbal on the market
DJI, in addition to its brilliant drones, is also definitely at the forefront when it comes to gimbals. Proof of this is the latest model in the Osmo series - the Osmo Mobile 3, which, while retaining the capabilities of previous versions, boasts an ultra-lightweight and foldable design - it weighs just 405 g, and when folded measures less than 16 cm in height, which, combined with the intuitive application and simple operation, makes the gimbal guarantee us spectacular vibration-free recordings wherever we want - while traveling and on a daily basis.
The DJI Mimo app provides access to tutorials and directs how to creatively use the capabilities of smart modes and ready-made templates. Tracking of people and objects with ActiveTrack 3.0, impressive Hyperlapse (Timelapse in motion), quick transitions between portrait and landscape orientation, gesture control, selfie mode...the perfect gadget for a fan of simple yet spectacular solutions :).
In addition, for owners of sports cameras, we recommend the following adapter for models such as the GoPro 3/4/5/6/7 (despite the Hypersmooth in the GoPro 7 Black) or Osmo Action.
