I needed a night vision camera for my paranormal investigations, and i didn't want anything fancy or expensive. So i went out to find the cheapest night ion cam i could find. And i found on ebay the Bell&Howell S7 Slim. I got it for $79.99 and it came with a bunch of extra accessories.

Unboxing: ADJ Color Burst LED

I like to mess around with DJ equipment, especially the lights. So last Christmas my parents got me this Color burst LED. What it is? Its a four colored LED mixer. You can personalize it to go as fast or as slow as you want it, and my personal favorite is the impression. That means that once you switch on the sensitivity personalizer, the lights will move, switch, and mix to the sound and mood of the music playing. Its like a smart board for lights.

Review: Joby GorillaPod 

The Joby GorillaPod is certainly a great tripod if you don't mind the size. It is very sturdy, flexable and most of all, fun! This tripod isn't ment to be used for serious photography as it is very lightweight, but for taking the odd photo or video, this is a great little accessory. There are many colours available for the Joby GorillaPod, these include the following:

  • White (as shown on video)
  • Yellow
  • Red
  • Green
  • Pink
  • Blue 
  • Orange

The advantages to this mini tripod is that you can wrap it round more or less everything with it's bendy legs. In the video shown above, I had the tripod wrapped around my monitor (Acer S243HL), lampshade and also my guitar! It is seriously amazing. I also like how cheap the GorillaPod is, on Amazon UK , you can buy this tripod for just £11.70! This is a bargain. The third thing I like about this tripod is the large variety of colours, they look great.

The disadvanteges to the Joby GorillaPod is that it is literally tiny! Also, when you bend the legs, it tends to nip your skin, which is very annoying! But other than that, I can't complain!

Over all, I give this tripod a 9 out of 10!
