Lumafit Interactive Fitness Tracker Helps You Stay in Shape

Posted on by
Lumafit Interactive Fitness Tracker 01

Do you find it hard to stay motivated while at the gym? You no longer have to hire a coach to tell you what to do and to measure your progress, as the Lumafit interactive fitness tracker can do all that for you.

Fitness trackers come in various shapes and sizes nowadays, so picking one over the other may seem difficult at first. Sure, you should take price into consideration, but it’s actually the features and the build quality that make the difference. Lumafit seems to be the ultimate virtual couch, as it is a wearable that comes with a companion app for your smartphone.

The medical-grade sensor that’s included in the Lumafit fitness tracker is able to measure your heart rate very accurately, fact that will help you keep track of how many calories you’re burning daily. One of the interesting aspects is that you can set goals in the app so that you always stay motivated. After setting the goals, you’ll get customized workouts that can help you beat your best times and lift heavier weights.

Lumafit doesn’t require you to have a certain fitness level, as it can adapt its recommendations to any level. Heart data and 3D motion are recorded using an ear sensor, but you shouldn’t worry about it falling off while doing vigorous exercises, as the tracker fits quite snuggly. Feedback is provided in real-time, so you’ll know how to adjust your workout for the best results.

Available only in black for both iOS and Android, the Lumafit interactive fitness tracker has the following specs:

  • One full charge provides up to 4 hours of battery life
  • Standard USB
  • 100mA battery
  • Photoplethmograph
  • Accelerometer
  • Range: 98.43 feet
  • Weighs 0.68 oz

Considering the weight and its dimensions, you will barely feel that you’re wearing it. That’s a really important aspect that many fitness tracker manufacturers seem to neglect. Such wearables shouldn’t be cumbersome to wear, as that would ruin the entire experience.

The battery life may not sound like much, but it’s enough to get you through a lengthy workout. If you don’t exercise every day, you’ll probably end up charging the Lumafit interactive fitness tracker twice a week or so. In this scenario, the battery should last a very long time.

To buy the Lumafit interactive fitness tracker, head over to our store, Walyou Deals, where you will find it for $149. The deal will expire in five days, so if you think that this is a gadget that could improve your workouts, you should act now. As usual, all sales are final and all orders are shipped for free to continental US addresses, with deliveries expected to take place between April 23 and 26. The Android version is available at the same price here. This might seem pricey, but in the long run it will help you save money as it actually helps you workout more efficiently.

Revl Arc Action Camera Packs Built-In Stabilization

Posted on by
Revl Arc 4K Action Camera with Built-in Stabilization

Touted as the world’s smartest 4K camera, the Revl Arc is the first action cam to feature built-in stabilization. Considering that this could only be achieved with external gimbals, it’s a pretty major step forward.

Even though most sports aren’t characterized by fluid movements, that doesn’t mean that the video recordings have to be that way, too. Thanks to the Revl Arc, the world’s first action camera with built-in image stabilization, you can say goodbye to shaky footage of you and your friends skydiving, rollerskating or water-skiing. The Arc isn’t the first sports camera to take on GoPro, but the ION Air Pro and the Contour, two of cameras that tried doing that, have been long since forgotten. Of course, those two didn’t pack an ace up the sleeve, like the Arc does.

The Arc has a tube-shaped design and the end of which it features a motorized gimbal based on magnets and a motor that bring stabilization to the camera. Basically, the back of the Arc moves in tandem with whatever the camera is attached to, while the front remains level.

Eric Sanchez, Revl’s founder, pointed out that the whole thing started out as a stabilized GoPro case, until the company realized that integrating the technology into an action cam would be a far better choice.

The 12-megapixel image sensor made by Sony is one of the details that make the Arc stand out even if you take built-in stabilization out of the equation. In terms of video resolutions and framerates, the Arc can record 4K footage at 30 fps, 1080p videos at up to 120 fps and 720p clips at up to 240 fps. That’s great for shooting slow-motion videos, which should make the footage even more spectacular.

Revl’s Arc can even be attached to a selfie-stick, in case you don’t want to mount it on a helmet or on a chest strap. As seen in the following video, footage shot while using a selfie stick looks particularly great, as long as you don’t suffer from motion sickness. Beside that, the following clip features some of the situations that bring out the benefits of built-in image and video stabilization.

The Arc action cam is currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. Revl has set a funding goal of $50,000, but that has long been surpassed, and there still are 16 more days till the campaign ends. The camera will retail for $500 when it will hit the market, but early birds can get it for as little as $379. To get the King of the Air bundle, which as its name suggests, includes a bunch of accessories for skydiving enthusiasts, you’d have to pay $479, which is still less than what the camera will retail for. Bear in mind that these prices don’t include shipping.

Save 71% on Lytro Illum, the Camera that Revolutionized Photography

Posted on by
Lytro Illum Camera 01

One of the most frustrating things that could happen to a photographer is to discover that the subject is out of focus. That’s no longer a problem with the Lytro Illum camera, since it enables people to adjust the depth of field after taking the photo.

While dSLR and mirrorless camera makers focus on increasing the resolution and decreasing focus speeds, Lytro thought it could revolutionize photography in a different way. Back in 2014, the company launched the second generation of Illum, the camera that can record the direction of light rays and generate images that can be refocused at a later point in time.

With Illum, Lytro introduced a concept called “living pictures,” which they advertised with a clip about a party. On such occasions, timing is of the essence, and it’s not always possible to get the right subject in focus. Well, that’s how it used to be, since Lytro Illum enables you to change perspective within or even view the photos in 3D. Best of all, the change of perspective can also be done in post-production, so you can end up with multiple photos of the same friends, with the focus each time on someone else.

Lytro Illum doesn’t change everything you ever knew about photography, so you’ll still encounter such familiar concepts as auto focus and exposure mode.

If you’re interested in the technical specs of the camera, they are as follows:

  • Dimensions: 3.4”L x 5.7”W x 6.5”H
  • Weight:
    2.07 lb (without battery)
    2.27 lb (with battery)
  • Snapdragon 801 Image Processor
  • Focal length: 9.5-77.8mm (30 – 250mm equivalent)
  • Aperture: Constant f/2.0
  • Zoom: 8x optical
  • Magnification: 1:3
  • LCD display: 4” back-lit rear screen with dual hinge tilting up to 90°/down to 10°
  • Format: Light Field Picture (.lpf)
  • Aspect ratio: 3:2
  • 2D export resolution: 2450×1634 pixels
  • File/picture storage: SDXC/SDHC memory card slot
  • Shutter speed: 1/4000-32 sec
  • ISO range: 80-3200
  • Exposure compensation, bracketing & lock
  • Touchscreen & live view
  • Built in Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac)
  • Battery: removable 3.7V, 3760 mAh lithium ion (rechargeable)

While the some of the specs listed above are not exactly the latest and the greatest, the Lytro Illum camera is by no means outdated. On the contrary, it’s the sum of the specs that make it the excellent product that it is. Even now, nearly two years after its initial launch, it can surprise your friends with its features.

The following video exemplifies how the camera can be used to change the focus of a photo:

And here’s a practical example of how it works:

You have a bit less than 24 hours to get the Lytro Illum camera at a special price! If you want to own the camera that revolutionized photography, head over to Walyou Deals and get it for $369.99. That’s a 71% discount from the original retail price of $1,300, so this is quite the bargain. Orders are shipped for free to continental US addresses, with deliveries expected to take place between April 9 and 12.

GIVEAWAY: DJI Phantom 4

Posted on by
Giveaway DJI Phantom 4

Enter the latest giveaway featured in our store for a chance to win a DJI Phantom 4, possibly the best camera drone out there!

Drones have multiple uses, but one of the most fascinating ones is aerial photography. Considering human kind’s obsession with flying, getting to do something that not so long ago could only be done while riding a helicopter is quite mind-blowing. However, aerial photography requires some time in order to gain the necessary experience not only for flying the drone, but also for getting the right angle. Because of this, anyone interested in this field is encouraged to get started with a basic drone and build his way up until he gets to a DJI Phantom 4, the ultimate UAV for aerial photography.

The idea behind the necessity of getting started with a cheaper drone is to learn how to fly such a product before aspiring to greater heights.

But what makes the DJI Phantom 4 so great? Well, besides the excellent build quality and the overall fantastic camera, this drone has several features that definitely set it apart from the competition. First of all, there’s Tap to Fly, a feature that gets the drone airborne as soon as you double tap the display of the mobile device you’ve paired with the controller.

The Obstacle Sensing System ensures that the drone won’t hit trees, walls, or anything of that kind while flying. Another great feature is visual tracking, which is particularly good for circling around an object. Imagine what you could do with the DJI Phantom 4 at a sports event!

To enter the giveaway, head over to our store, Walyou Deals, and create an account, if you don’t already have one. Share the page of the giveaway on Facebook, Twitter or Google+ for a free entry.

In addition to that, you can win yet another free entry by getting in the leaderboard of any of our Pay What You Want deals. There’s also a humanitarian facet to those deals, as 10% of all proceeds are going to a charity.

iOS 9 & Swift 2 - Step It Up

ExoMount Touch Air Vent Car Mount 01

We’re still a long way from having only autonomous vehicles on the roads, and until that will happen, we have to keep our eyes on the road. The ExoMount Touch air vent car mount takes away the distraction of using a smartphone while driving, but it still keeps the device within reach and within sight.

Self-driving cars will take us from behind the wheel, thus enabling previous drivers to do whatever they want during the trip, from reading and sleeping to listening to music on headphones and watching movies. Till that time comes, though, we had better pay attention to what’s in front of us. Texting and messing with the smartphone while driving is one of the main causes of road accidents, and accessories such as the ExoMount Touch air vent car mount can help you with that.

You’re not even restricted to using exclusively smartphones. Sure, these are great for navigation software, calls and texting (on the latter I’d urge you to rely on Google’s and Apple’s virtual Personal Assistant), but you might want to use an MP3 player in the mount, and that’s entirely acceptable. On top of that, you can pop in a thick card and use the ExoMount Touch on your desk.

The ExoMount Touch is quite flexible to use, as it has 360-degree rotation and swivel. In other words, the phone can be viewed from various angles. Besides that, the mobile device can be positioned in portrait or landscape mode, depending on what you’re using it for.

You’ll also learn how to adapt your game to match the needs and behavior of the users, regardless if they’re playing in on iOS, Android, PC, or other platforms.

GRID-IT! Accessory Organizer Bundle

Posted on by
GRID-IT! Accessory Organizer Bundle 01

If your backpack or messenger bag looks as if it had been a war in there, maybe it’s time you looked into some proper way of organizing everything. The GRID-IT! accessory organizer bundle currently available in our store could definitely help you with that.

Backpacks are not what they used to be, in terms of what we carry inside of them. In the old times, kids and grown-ups used them for a few notebooks (the paper kind), stationery and maybe their eyeglasses or lunch. Now, we have everything from batteries, headphones and cables to smartphones, tablets and even microphones. Keeping everything tidy used to sound like Mission: Impossible, minus Tom Cruise, but that’s no longer the case if you’re using the GRID-IT! accessory organizers.

GRID-IT! organizers definitely look like the smart way to organize things in your bag. The numerous elastic holders don’t only keep everything tidy, but they also help you secure things into place, so that they don’t dangle around in your backpack.

If I had to choose a word for describing these organizers, it would surely be “versatile.” There is no single way to attach your accessories, as there are tens, if not hundreds of ways to do it. Basically, it all depends on the large are the items you wish to organize, as depending on their size you need to pick the elastic holders that will secure them. What may look like something really simple is actually a brilliant design that will ultimately change your life.

There are three organizers included in this bundle, with the following dimensions:

  • Small dimensions: 7.25”W x 0.38”D x 9.25”H; Weight: 0.46 lb
  • Medium dimensions: 12”W x 0.38”D x 8”H; Weight: 0.73 lb
  • Tablet Storage Case Dimensions: 12”L x 1.08”D x 9.44”H; Weight: 1.29 lb

Bear in mind that all of them come in black, and only two of the elastic holders of each organizer are colored.

The small and the medium GRID-IT! organizers can be used for anything from pencils and keys to smartphones and USB flash drives. The tablet one, on the other hand, as you might have guessed, features a tablet storage pocket for an Apple iPad. Personally, I would have loved to see one of these organizers designed specifically for photographers, with holders that are elastic enough to keep lenses or camera bodies into place.

The GRID-IT! accessory organizer bundle typically retails for $75, but for the next two days, you can find it on Walyou Deals at a more attractive price, $67.99. This may not sound like a huge discount, but bear in mind that all orders are shipped for free to continental US addresses. All sales are final and deliveries are expected to take place between March 30 and April 2. If you’re in the market for a smart way to declutter your backpack, then look no further, as the GRID-IT! accessory organizers have got you covered!

SKEYE Nano Drone with Camera

Posted on by
SKEYE Nano Drone with Camera 01

Just how much smaller can camera drones get, while still being able to record high-quality videos? The SKEYE nano drone seems to have been built as an answer to that challenge.

Nano drones such as this one represent the easiest way to get started with flying remote-controlled toys. SKEYE, which is available at a discounted price in our store, Walyou Deals, combines small dimensions with many entertaining features. As a consequence, not only kids, but also grown-ups will appreciate just how easy it is to control this drone.

Once you turn the drone on, all you need to do is throw it in the air. The throw-to-fly functionality definitely isn’t something you see in every device of this kind, and it’s only one of the many features that set SKEYE apart from other drones.

Flying it really couldn’t have been easier! The 3 flight levels (beginner, intermediate, and advanced) make SKEYE a drone that’s adequate for anyone, no matter how much (or how little) experience they have. In theory, you could give this to kids and see them flying it in no time, but this might not be the best toy for the young ones.

The advanced 6-axis flight control system, combined with the adjustable gyro sensitivity make the SKEYE very easy to fly. The low weight (only .49 ounces), and the small dimensions (1.57″L x 1.57″W x 0.87″H) surely contribute to that, too.

SKEYE can record video at 640×480, which is by no means a stellar resolution. On a 4K TV it will look extremely pixelated, and even on a 1080p one it won’t look that good, but on phones the video will seem rather decent. All photos and video are stored on the included 2GB microSD card, so make sure you back up the files from time to time, in order to prevent the card from getting full.

One of the main concerns people have when considering buying a drone is the battery life of the toy. The SKEYE nano camera drone features a built-in 3.7V 120mAh battery that keeps it in the air for 3 to 4 minutes. A full charge takes 30 minutes, so if you have a power bank with you, you can enjoy multiple flight sessions without having to return home. As for the controller, it requires 2 AAA batteries to function, but since these are not included in the package, you’ll have to provide your own.

For the next couple of days, you can find the SKEYE nano camera drone at Walyou Deals for $49.99, 27% off the regular price. If you’re just getting started with drones and aerial photography, this is definitely one of the best options for getting the hang of it before moving on to professional UAVs.

As usual, all sales are final, and orders are shipped for free to more than 40 countries. Deliveries are expected to take place between April 3 and 24.
