Bleeding Edge TV 141: The OmegaSatter MonsterPod
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Accessories, Cameras, CES, CES 2007, Design, Features, Videocasts,
We talk with Mike Hullet of OmegaSatter, the company that makes the MonsterPod. The MonsterPod is a tripod without legs, great for situations where you don’t have a stable place for a tripod. It can be attached to just about any surface. It has a visco-elastic, putty-like polymet base, so you can mount it to things like trees, rocks, brick, or anything you can find. Then you connect your camera to it, and you can take your image in just about any situation. You can pick one up for $34.99 USD.

Zink To Offer Pocket-Size Printer
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Cameras, Misc. Tech,
Printers just keep shrinking. Even smaller than the mPrint we told you about is Zink’s concept, which creates images out of a heated printer head coming into contact with specialized paper, somewhat along the lines of the Toshiba device we also blogged about last November.
Images are wallet size 2 x 3-inches, and because you can recycle the paper when you tire of one shot, you can simply replace it with another. Zink’s technology is on display at the conference Demo ‘07 this week in Palm Desert, CA, and its first products will probably be a $199.00 printer/camera hybrid and a $99.00 printer. Paper will be available for $19.99 for 100 sheets.

CES 2007 Video: Digital Hero 3 Camera From GoPro
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Cameras, CES, CES 2007, Design, Features, Videocasts, Wireless / WiFi,
We loved the concept of the GoPro Digital Hero 3 that we saw at CES. It’s a small digital camera that straps to your wrist. It’s ultra-secure, so no worries about dropping it, and the images look fantastic. Perfect when hiking, skiing, or sporting events when you want a camera near at all times but don’t want to have to worry about putting it away and taking it out repeatedly.
