The AUKEY Super Wide Angle Lens

Having a good camera on your smartphone is fantastic, no longer do you have to lug around another camera, but there are limitations to what a smartphone camera can do. Usually the field of view is not that wide so you stand further back to get what you want in the shot but at the same time whatever you are shooting is smaller. Well the AUKEY Super Wide Angle Cell Phone Lens gets what you want and more into that shot. The lens is a 238 degree field of view lens, basically a fisheye lens, you will notice the barrel affect especially around the edges. What makes this lens great is the fact that you do not get the black barrel affect instead you will get a full frame picture with slight blurring around the edges.
The AUKEY Super Wide Angle Lens is made of a high grade aluminum which feels rock solid and premium made. The glass is crystal clear and has six elements giving you great detail. On the back of the lens where it attaches to your phone there is a nice soft but durable rubber to prevent scratching of your phones lens. The clip is made from a nice flexible plastic with a rubber tip so it will not scratch the screen of your phone. The lens slips right into the clip with ease and is held in place pretty securely. Just do not push too hard or you might break the clip. The clips depth is 1 1/4 inches so it should fit most, if not all, phones.
The lens is big, 1 1/2 inches wide and one inch deep, so you just might need two hands to hold your phone. You also get a cleaning cloth for the lens and a nice soft carry pouch which is nice because some companies do not include those. Taking pictures with this lens will make you take your time and think about the shot, not to mention you have to get used to the 238 degree angle, when first using the lens you most likely see your fingers at the edge of the shot, so before you really use it on your shoot take some practice pictures to get the feel of the lens and how it will feel on the phone. I am impressed on how well this lens performed and how clear and sharp the images are.
None of my devices had any trouble focusing with this lens attached, nor did it slip, slide or fall off of any of the devices. Aukey's attention to detail on this lens is superb, there are no rough edges, no un even angles, just a nice clean professional lens. I have tried other lenses like this in the past and the AUKEY Super Wide Angle Lens blows them all away, incredible sharp images, fantastic point of view and premium components. If you like the extreme fisheye view to capture your surroundings you cannot go wrong with this lens, it is definitely worth the money!

Kamisafe KM-9003 Compact LED Tactical Flashlight

Over the years I have had(and still do) many flashlights, all different sizes and shapes, each one has its own merits but the Kamisafe KM-9003 Compact LED Tactical Flashlight stands out. The flash light is 5 1/4 long and at its widest it is 1 1/8 inches and is made out of an aluminum alloy with a premium type III hard-anodized anti-abrasive finish. The reflector is smooth not the orange peel type, the glass is crystal clear, I did not see any deformations, bubbles, specks or any other imperfections, Kamisafe also coated the glass with an anti- reflective coating which is a nice touch.
The is a bit top heavy without the 18650 battery, but when you put the battery in the light feels quite balanced in the hand. It has a nice solid feel in the hand, does not feel cheap or loose. There is five modes in the Kamisafe KM-9003 Compact LED Tactical Flashlight, High, Medium, Low, Strobe ans SOS. To operate the light simple press the on/off button on the back of the light, to switch between modes just half press the button until you reach the desired mode you want At its brightest the Kamisafe KM-9003 Flashlight puts out 225 lumens and throws a beam to 300 meters. since I do not have a light meter I am guessing that the medium setting is about 100 lumens and the low looks to be around 25 lumens, the strobe and SOS settings are on full 225 lumens.
The Kamisafe KM-9003 Flashlight also has a waterporoof rating of IPX-6, while I would not submerge the light I tested it with a garden hose. I sprayed it for a few minutes and it was still working, so if you are out in the rain this flashlight will will work with not problems. Now I dropped this light from three feet to see how rugged it is, the Kamisafe KM-9003 Flashlight held up, yes there are some dings, dents and scratched paint but the light works just fine. I do not recommend that you drop your light, but if you want to that is totally up to you. The light takes one 18650 Li-ion battery, you can get these on Amazon, Ebay or sporting good stores.
To test if the Kamisafe KM-9003 Flashlight gets hot, I put in a freshly charged 18650 battery and left the light on for nine hours straight, at no time did the Kamisafe KM-9003 Flashlight get hot, it really did not get warm either. One thing that I really like about this light is it has a nice focused dot of light in the center but it also has a bit of flood light action surrounding the dot of focused light, which is real nice because it lets you see more of the surrounds around the focus point, some lights like this do not do that. The wrist strap is the perfect length, and the loop is big enough to fit around someone with big hands, it feels comfortable around the wrist without feeling to loose or tight.
The Kamisafe KM-9003 Flashlight impressed me with its brightness, build quality, performance and feel. This is my new EDC (Every Day Carry) flashlight. I believe that for the price the Kamisafe KM-9003 Flashlight is one heck of a deal, after you try it I believe that you will get another one.

Mozeat 3 in 1 Clip-on Cell Phone Lens Kit

Taking selfies or just any picture with your phone is normal now and sometimes you wish you could get a wider shot or a close up shot of something really small to show detail, with the Mozeat 3 in 1 Clip-on Cell Phone Lens Kit you can do just that. I have several lens kits ranging in price from $5 to $40. Each lens kit has its own merits and perform well, the Mozeat 3 in 1 Clip-on Cell Phone Lens Kit comes with a well built hard shell carry case and a very nice carry pouch, a lens cloth to clean your lens and a small carabiner clip. The clip itself is made of a high grade plastic that has a bit of flex so it will not break easily, there is a rubber feel to it as well and is 2 inches deep which means it will fit many different styles of phones. You get a total of three lenses in this kit a 198 degree Fisheye, a 150 degree wide angle and a 15X macro lens.
Each lens is housed in high quality aluminum, and is very solid the glass does not wiggle or move inside the housing, basically a nice professional build. The glass is high grade not blemishes, no dust, no deformities just crystal clear glass. I tested this lens kit with two devices my Lumia 640 and my iPod Touch 5. The Mozeat 3 in 1 Clip-on Cell Phone Lens Kit fit easily on each device. I found that both cameras did not have any problems focusing with the lens kit, the focusing was smooth, clear and fast. The pictures that I took were clear and crisp, since I was using two different cameras each one had its own quirks and I labeled each picture with the camera I used.
The fisheye lens has the typical black barrel effect and a real defined curve to it, around the edge of the image you can see a bit of blur but nothing harsh and you do get a really wide field of view in the shot, the wide angle lens is one of the best I have seen, the image is really clean and crisp, the edge of the image has very little blur and the wide angle view is just fantastic you get almost twice the view compared to the same show without the wide angle lens. You will notice that the Macro lens is screwed onto the bottom of the wide angle lens so to use it you will have to un screw the lens from the wide angle. I noticed that I was able to get closer to the subject with my Lumia 640 compared to my iPod Touch 5, with the Lumia I was able to get as close as 1/4 inch but with the iPod I could only get 1/2 inch.
After testing the Mozeat 3 in 1 Clip-on Cell Phone Lens Kit with both cameras and viewing the photos I noticed that the Lumia 640 took better pictures than the iPod Touch 5 to me that means that your camera of choice has a lot to do with the performance of the lens kit. I still like the results that I got with both cameras. Each camera performed well and the pictures from both were clean and crisp, no distortion at all. I cannot find anything wrong with this lens kit. The Mozeat 3 in 1 Clip-on Cell Phone Lens Kit is definitely with the price and is worth having if you take a lot of pictures with your phone. Everyone should have this kit.

Tenfly Compact Universal Mouse Car Mount Holder

There are a lot of phone holders on the market today and finding one that will fit your needs is not always that easy or economical. I have several phone mounts some are great and some are just horrible. The Tenfly Compact Universal Mouse Car Mount Holder is a good middle of the road phone holder. When I took it out of the package it looked like a computer mouse, a nice and different design that the majority of phone holders, it is pleasing to the eye and when closed takes up very little space. The Tenfly Compact Universal Mouse Car Mount Holder is made of a strong sturdy plastic, has a nice textured feel to it and feels pretty solid. I dropped the mount a few times from 3 feet and besides a few nicks it did not break or crack. I would not recommend that you drop it but I wanted to see how well it would hold up.
I tested this mount in my 2003 Jeep Liberty, the dash is quite textured as you will see in the photos, and I was surprised that the mount did not fall off. I have had the mount installed for just over a week, and it still is on my dash. One tip I will give you now is to wash the area of the dash with a cleaner, I used Windex, then when it dries I used alcohol to make sure there was no residue then I pressed the mount onto the dash with a little pressure then pushed the lock arm down to secure the suction cup to the dash. Once the mount is in place press the button(see picture with green circle) and the mount opens up ready to accept your phone.
I used two devices to test the Tenfly Compact Universal Mouse Car Mount Holder, a iPod Touch 5 and a Lumia 640. The mount held each device securely without any slipping or drops. The spring clamp is strong, you will definitely have to use two hands, the Lumia 640 was a tight fit, what I mean is that was close to the limit on how wide the clamp will open, the Lumia 640 is 3 inches wide and the clamp will open to 3.5 inches, on either side of the clamp is rubber padding to help grip your device and to stop it from slipping, these pads are just stuck onto a flat surface I would have liked to have seen a bit of a indentation into the plastic which the pads would fit into for better grip and less chance of the pads falling off. The clamp is mounted on a ball head so you can swivel your device to a landscape position if you like. Tilting the clamp left or right is a bit limited but good enough to adjust it to a usable position.
For me and the devices that I used for testing I found that once opened I had to turn the clamp upside down for me to get the position that worked best for me, let me explain what I mean by upside down. When you open the holder you will notice a U shaped cut out in the clamp, that is facing down, I simply rotated the clamp until the U shape faced up and that worked best for me. As I drove around I tried to ride over pot holes and bumps to see if the clamp would hold onto each device, if it would stay secured to my dash and if there is any wobble in the mount itself. The clamp never let go of either device, it held only my dash and there was a tiny bit of wobble, so if you are going to vlog your video may show some wobble. So in conclusion for the price you pay the Tenfly Compact Universal Mouse Car Mount Holder is not only a really great deal but a really good phone mount, it works extremely well and looks fantastic. The only negative is the side to side range is a bit limiting but not a deal breaker, that is why I gave it four stars.

Tenfly LED Glow in Dark Micro USB Cable

When it comes to USB cables I usually do not get excited or even give them too much thought, then I had a chance to review the Tenfly LED Glow in Dark Micro USB Cable and honestly I love this cable. The cable is encased in a clear soft plastic, like the food grade plastic tubing. The inner shell looks to be a white soft plastic wrapped with a silver mylar stripping for decorative look. On the Micro USB end is the Tenfly logo. The cable length is 3 feet, pretty standard length and the build quality feels solid, no weak spots, no flimsy ends it just feels good in the hand.
I tested the cable with four devices, my Lumia 640, Nexus 7, laptop and my APC power bank. When I plugged the cable into the laptop right away the blue light came on, it is a nice soft but bright glow. On both ends, the USB and Micro USB, the light is the brightest and through the cable you can see little dots of blue light, which makes me believe that there are micro LED lights in there. While testing I took notice how long each device charged then I imported and exported data, pictures and videos to see how well the Tenfly LED Glow in Dark Micro USB cable would perform. The data transfer was smooth, fast and had no problems either exporting or importing, charging was a little different. When the Tenfly LED Glow in Dark Micro USB cable was plugged into my laptop I experienced no problems at all, charging was pretty fast, but when I plugged the cable into my APC power bank my Lumia 640 popped up a notice that said the phone was charging slowly and the cable was plugged into the 2.4 amp port.
At first I thought that maybe there was something wrong with the cable but then I realized that since it was plugged into a power bank the LED lights is using the power as well and since the power being delivered is different from a constant feed of electricity from a laptop this would be normal. So if you are using this cable with a power bank your device will still charge but at a lower pace, the cable is working just fine. I can find no real negatives about this cable the only suggestion I would make to Tenfly is to offer them in different colors! For the price the Tenfly LED Glow in Dark Micro USB Cable is a bargain, you get excellent quality, fast data transfer, great charging capability and an awesome blue glow.

Blutle USB Smart Charging Socket

There are certain devices that are made to make our lives a bit easier and the Blutle USB Smart Charging Socket does that. This simple device is easy to use and very useful. The device has two electrical outlets on the top, which is nice because you gain an extra outlet to plug something else in and you get four USB ports. The max. rated power for the sockets are 2500 watts and the USB ports deliver 5Volts at 5 amps each. To test this device I plugged in a fan, lamp(with a 100 watt incandescent bulb), Lumia 640, Lumia 520, Nexus 7 and a iPod Touch 5. I kept everything plugged in and running for 4 hours, at times I checked my e-mail and even played a game and the Blutle USB Smart Charging Socket never gave me a problem, it did not even get warm.
The device is housed in plastic and feels sturdy in the hand, I dropped it from 3 feet onto a hard wood floor and nothing happened, no cracks not even a ding. YOu will notice that there is two switches on the device. Both are power switches, you can turn on the power to just the USB ports or the sockets or have them both powered up, I like that feature a lot, to me that is a nice safety feature to have not to mention a power saver as well. The cord is detachable, which I like, because if the cord gets damaged you can buy another cord. I should mention that the cord is your typical computer power cord, you can buy them on Ebay, Amazon, Best Buy etc. Cord length is about 72 inches or 6 feet and 18 awg pretty typical power cord, if the length is too short you can get a longer one online for a low price.
The Blutle USB Smart Charging Socket does have lightning and surge protection, 3500 joules max, which is more than enough to protect your devices that are plugged into it. There is a smart chip built into the USB section to identify your devices power requirements so you do not have to worry about it damaging your devices. To let you know power is going to the USB ports there is a small green light(see picture) right in the middle of the ports, it is small but it is there. I have the Blutle USB Smart Charging Socket on my desk next to my computer and it serves me quite well, I can plug in any device without any hassle. The only negative I can say is the light for the USB ports is a bit small, I would have liked to have a bigger light other than that I have no complaints, I really like this device!!

Dpower Ultralight Foldable Camping Stove

  I was a bit skeptical when I ordered this camp stove, I thought how good can it be for $10. When it arrived I took a real good look at it. When in the orange plastic case it measures 2 inches wide by 3 inches tall and 1 1/2 inches thick, upon pulling the stove out of the case the gas adjust lever springs open which is nice. Sliding the arms open was really easy with no resistance at all, the tips flip open or closed, again no problems at all. When the stove is fully open(tips flipped out) you have a surface of 3 1/2 inches when the tips are flipped in(closed) the surface is about 2 3/4 inches, a nice sized surface to boil water and do some cooking of small foods, I was able to cook a burger.
  The build quality is quite good, everything was sturdy and tight, no loose parts or rattling. The piezoelectric starter worked every time without fail, a one time click and I got fire. With the Dpower stove fully open you will notice a lot of heat being given off, which is nice if it is chilly, you can get the flame pretty darn low as well, great for a simmer. The ignitor wire does heat up and get red, but after going through four bottle of fuel the wire is holding up and looks like new. The ignitor button is made of plastic and has not melted or even gotten soft, pushing the button feels strong with a satisfying click. the rubber seal does not look or feel cheap in anyway, I always had a tight seal, the threads are smooth, I never experienced a hang up or rough feel when mounting to a fuel bottle.
   I am very impressed by the Dpower camp stove, it performed better than I expected and is a great value for the money. Just make sure that when using this stove(or any other stove of this type) make sure that you are using it on a flat surface, you will get the best fuel burn that way, also on the bottom of the case there is a drain hole, the orange case is a nice bright color which aids in finding it and it does its job well in storing and protecting the stove. I like this stove so much I not only recommend it but I think I am going to buy another one. This stove is not only great for camping/hiking, but as an emergency stove or for a prepper, either way you cannot go wrong with the Dpower ultralight foldable camping stove
