GoPro Hero4 Session camera
Welcome to the first new camera body GoPro's released since
the Digital Hero arrived in 2006. Compared to the old model it's 50 per
cent smaller, 40 per cent lighter and can be set, suctioned, attached or
bolted to places its predecessor couldn't. And it's just as powerful
(1080p60 video and 8MP photos), just as waterproof and and as easy to
use. You need this in your life immediately.
A gentleman never shouts obscenities at bus drivers, taxis, vans,
cars or whatever else is trying to mow him down when he's commuting to
the office by bike. Especially now ORP, a discreet LED light and horn
will do the job for you. It produces two sounds - a "friendly" 76db toot
and a "loud"
stop-f******-texting-and-look-where-you're-going-you-f******-idiot 96db
warning.
Capture those special moments in style with the latest offering
from the revered Leica brand. Billed as the "compact camera redefined"
the Leica Q comes with a full-frame sensor and a fixed 28mm focal length perfect for street,
architectural and landscape photography. The lens is the fastest in its
class so you shouldn't miss a thing. Visually it's a picture, all black
and sleekness.
Snap it up.
Now this is clever. Smart pens that save handwritten copy digitally require special paper - but not the Bamboo Spark.
Rather you just need the customised folio which tracks the pen's pressure and converts your work onto your smartphone or tablet.
Take note.
Penned by electronic music royalty, Larent Garnier, this is
as close as anybody's got to filing a comprehensive history of dance
music. Tracing the genre to its roots, you're taken on a world tour
through the legendary clubs and key moments of musical history, from the
early Eighties at London's Mud Club, through Manchester's Hacienda, and
onto Paris, Detroit, New York and Chicago. Reach for the lasers,
gentlemen.
We like the Vans waffle sole. We like the Nixon
Mini Blaster Bluetooth speaker. We love this combination of the two.
You get all the Mini Blaster features - up to eight hours play on a
single charge and wireless pairing so you can link two Mini Blasters up
for stereo sound - but the robust silicone body's bookended by the Vans
trademark.
The Ricoh NV-10A Enhanced Binoculars are military grade
digital binoculars which can see through fog and darkness, tag your
location using GPS, and even tell you which way you were facing with a
built-in compass. You can record everything with still and video modes,
and your shots will come out blur-free thanks to an effect physical
image stabiliser. A perfect gift for the professional assassin or bounty
hunter.
BB-8 - basically a ball with a head - looks set to be the star of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
And now Sphero has produced a miniature model that looks set to be on
every child's (and possibly adult's) Christmas list. Just watch that
little guy roll.
Who doesn't like a bit of retro now and then?
Preferably
with a modern tweak... The Snap Instant prints out your photos like a
classic Polaroid but doesn't require any ink thanks to digital imaging.
And it looks very sleek - the Mini Cooper of cameras.
Precision-machined from solid brass and then finished by
hand, these are not only some of the most attractive in-ear headphones
we've ever seen, but they're also some of the most sonically pleasing:
brass is widely recognised for being a great sound transmitter. The
ME05's design also features custom drivers and balanced weight
distribution to ensure a snug fit, meaning one of the buds isn't going
to pop out if you suddenly have to sprint to catch the train.
A coffee table that's certainly divisive. The table is
comprised of four different units: a quarter circle, a half circle, a
three-quarter circle and a full circle. Mix and match to your heart's
content, creating the ideal shape for your guests or your own aesthetic
tastes. So diverting by the time you've stopped playing with it, the
coffee will have gone cold.
Shame on you - you thought wireless speakers were tinny
little boxes that fall over when you put a proper bassline through them.
Not any more. The Zeppelin Wireless from audio kings Bowers and Wilkins
has two 25mm double dome tweeters, two 90mm midrange speakers and a
150mm subwoofer (each with their own dedicated amp) so it stands up the
weightiest drops. It's also fully compatible with Apple AirPlay,
Bluetooth and Spotify Connect, opening the Zeppelin experience to
Android users for the first time. You need this in your life.
Enjoy home quality audio on the go with these portable
speakers. BluWall Direct produces limitless streaming opportunities by
connecting multiple speakers over a Wi-Fi network. You can also connect
multiple devices wirelessly without the internet through its built-in
Wi-Fi Direct technology. Very nice (and they look it too).
The last time we were this excited about a piece of
technology we had just picked up an Apple iPhone for the first time. The
Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 is the first virtual reality kit that
actually works. You really have to try one to believe it. The perfect
gift for impressing family and friends this Christmas.
If a Porsche for a present is a little steep, get him the
official Porsche book. From the 356 Roadster to the striking 550 A
Spyder, from the sought-after 911 Carrera RS to the 911 Targa, even
including the latest 919 Hybrid, Porsche Sounds is a painstaking history
of the storied brand. And yes, it includes a CD of 30 different Porsche
sounds.
The sound from its nine separate channels is so hefty that
when we played our control DVD (Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes) it was
like sitting in the multiplex. The downside is that entails a hefty
amount of hardware. Just make sure the recipient has a substantial
living room.
Snap a tablet into the back of this shell setup and you have
what looks like a mini MacBook Pro. The illusion is so good that
they'll keep reaching for the (nonexistent) trackpad.
Apple's Retina 5k iMac is one of the best desktop computers
money can buy, combining workstation-level performance with a beautiful
27-inch screen (which offers almost the same pixel density as your
smartphone).
The bandwidth of portable Bluetooth speakers has finally
grown to include premium audio manufacturers, and the latest to join the
fray is Bowers & Wilkins with the incredible T7. It only weights
950g, it's simple to pair your device (just hit the Bluetooth button and
wait for an audio notification), and the sound quality's stunningly
detailed. Perfect for the most stylish of shelves.
Who knew bike lights could be exciting? These LED bike
lights fill your bike's wheel with bright patterns (once you get up to
speed.) If your friend is the patient type, pre-order the Monkey Light Pro which allows you to edit the graphics using your smartphone. If not, get them two M232 models, one for each wheel.
£39.90 (per wheel) for the M232 model. amazon.co.uk
Phantom 2 Vision Plus by DJI drone
The ultimate photography drone for the layman, the Phantom 2
has great range (800 metres) and a long lasting battery (25 minutes).
To
control it effectively at that distance, your iPhone can clip to the
controller giving you a pilot's (or, indeed, cameraman's) point of view.
A cinch to control, it also has a brilliant stabilising connection,
which buffers any blade judder from the camera, giving the smoothest
footage. This is no toy drone.
This very smart smoke and carbon monoxide detector will text
you if it sniffs out anything untoward and even tell you in advance
when its battery's running low. Ideal for the nervous homeowner.
This absolutely gorgeous powered speaker box is completely
transparent. The minimalist design is its USP, but you'll be surprised
by the quality of sound it produces.
The old MiCoach was a clunky affair, but the brand's latest
offering is a retro-digital band that we love. The functions include a
heart-rate monitor and pedometer. You'll have to link up to your phone
for more complicated exercise programmes, but with simple coaching
delivered by visual messages, you'll find you rarely need to.
