Arespark Premium Selfie Stick Review
Arespark has always made really good products. This monopod is no exception.
PRODUCT LINK: http://amzn.to/1TLVcsQ
PRICE: $19.99 Prime Eligible
This is a really heavy duty selfie stick that has 3 sprite adjustable sections that lock into place securely. There is a built in small mirror that helps setup your shot if you are using your phones rear camera.
The package includes a small Bluetooth shutter device for doing the picture taking when your phone is mounted on the stick. It works great, and paired easily.
My only real complaint was the the phone Mount was really shallow in regards to the arms that actually grip the phone. I did this review using a iPhone 5c,with an Otter Box case, and it would not hold the phone. I had to remove the case in order to do the review without damaging my phone. This kind of sucks. But, if you are gonna use this selfie stick with just your GoPro or sports camera this stick will be a great asset. Or, if you phone does not have a case in it, this won't be a problem for you either.

Protection.

PRICE: $13.99 Prime Eligible
This is a nice cover for a 10 or 11 inch tablet, or a small
laptop (Macbook Air). It offers basic protection from spills, bumps, and short
falls. Unfortunately I probably would not really rely on this for a maximum
protection solution.

So, in summary, this is good inexpensive protection. I do
not feel that it will adequately protect a device from a drop from a table top.
I also do not think that the cover does a great job of keeping your device from

Upow 5000mAh Solar Panel Charger with Bluetooth Shutter Review
UPOW provides this device with a large external battery, solar charging, LED light, and a Bluetooth shutter release! This external battery pack has it all!
PRODUCT LINK: http://amzn.to/1GdIIV1
PRICE: $29.99 Prime Eligible
This external solar powered battery charger from UPOW is very well made, rugged, and they claim rain proof. I would definitely not submerge this under water. The package includes a carabiner, and a short Micro USB cable.
You can charge this gadget two ways... in the sun (obviously), and by using an external 5V power source via the included MicroUSB cable. The output of the charger is a nice 2.1 volts! This is great for charging many newer power hungry devices faster. The solar panels on this device are large, and recharges the internal battery relatively quickly.
The is also a built in LED flashlight which is handy. It's not very bright, but it helps when you have nothing else.
And the last thing is that this solar charger has built in Bluetooth and acts as a remote shutter for your phone or tablet! This is a cool feature, but to be honest I am not entirely sure how much I will be using it. But, all things being equal, this is a nice feature to have handy for when you might need it. Pairing this to the phone was very easy. Just read the included directions.

AVAWO Universal Flexible Tripod for GoPro and Cell Phones Review
This flexible tripod from AVAWO for $15 bucks is an amazing value! It is well made, and comes with a mount for sports cameras, and a mount for cell phones.
PRODUCT LINK: http://amzn.to/1HnaLDm
PRICE: $14.99 Prime Eligible
This tripod is similar to the one Joby puts out, but much cheaper for the size of the tripod. In my opinion it is built just as nice. There is a bubble level built into the mounting head. There are two attachments included in the package...one for a GoPro and one for a cell phone. The cell phone holder was able to easily accommodate my Galaxy Note 4.
Tightening the screw for the angle adjustment really hold the mount steady and in place. There is another screw, and a helps to quickly detach your camera or phone if need be, and giving you the ability to slide it back into place.
You can easily adjust the flexible ball joints in the tripods legs to a pretty much whatever position you need. You can also twist this tripod up to hang from a bar, or even a motorcycle handle bars. There are rubbers balls at the end of each foot to help keep the tripod in place and prevent it from sliding.
You will be very happy to have added this tripod to your photographic accessory collection!
I was sent this product in exchange for an unbiased product review.
Bang Long Polarized Sport Sunglasses Review
Bang Long makes a decent pair of sunglasses. This are good quality, polarized, fashionable, and cost much less than it's competitors.
PRODUCT LINK: http://amzn.to/1HYSlVr
PRICE: $12.99 Prime Eligible
These sunglasses come is a semi hard case with an attached clip. You can hang these from your belt or backpack. In the case is your glasses, a eyeglass cord/holder (prevents them from falling off your body). The lenses are UV400 polarized poly carbonate. They have great optical quality, and make things pop when you wear them. The glasses are very light weight, so you forget you are wearing them.
I found the glasses to have just the right amount of "tint" to them... not to dark, not to light. This makes wearing them easier from when you go from outdoors to inside. You don't have to take them off to see well indoors.
You would easily spend much more for comparable glasses, and not get the included carrying case.
