TightLinz is a great site for fisherman looking for premium brands at a serious discount. They carry all kinds of gear, apparel and accessories from well-known brands. Deals get updated weekly, but the best items sell out quickly so check back often!
Liquipel is not a case or static film, it’s a microscopic hydrophobic (water repellent) nano-tech armour. The Liquipel treatment means your favorite electronics will be 100% water proof (inside an out!) with absolutely no visible changes, and the treatment is said to outlast the lifetime of your device. Armour your iPhone4s costs about $60 USD plus shipping, though right now Liquipel is offering free ground shipping to start. If they could put some of these machines nearby where I could drop-off items for a few hours to be waterproofed I’d be the first person in line. I would do my iPad, iPhone, and 7D at the same time probably even my macbook if the price was right.
Fishin’ Guy for the iPhone is a fishing encyclopedia app that boasts over 2000 video clips, hundreds of fishing guides, charter boats, and lodges that you can check out and compare. And pretty much every species of freshwater and saltwater fish you might be lusting after, not to mention it’s backed by Henry Waszczuck, infamous star of Fishin’ the Flats.
Fishin’ Guy promises to be the most exciting, must-have iPhone app for anyone who loves to fish. We just so happen to know a lot of people who love to fish, so we’ll be giving away two free iTunes coupons for the complete Fishin’ Guy Deluxe ($4.99).
While my camera isn’t quite as expensive as the Canon 5D, I’m constantly worried I’m going to ruin it on one of my fishing trips. If you own a nice camera, this video is going to be painful to watch!
FoodSaver, makers of one of the most popular brands of vacuum packers, is running a video contest where you can win cash prizes by creating a 30 second video about failed preservation methods and how things would have been better with the FoodSaver. Considering you’ve only got to make a 30 second spot and if you win the grand prize of $1,500, that’s something like $180,000 an hour!
The contest deadline is 4pm PDT November 7, 2011 so get shooting! Continue reading for more contest details or head straight to the FoodSaver contest page on Facebook, and you can even check out the competition on Zooppa.com.
Even though I have several cameras that are twice the resolution of my iPhone 4, I still find that I really enjoy shooting photos on my iPhone- even when I can’t immediately share those photos with the world. Because I’ve spent so much time in Algonquin Park this year I upgraded from my usual Ziploc back to a SeaLine E-Case for added protection. It’s a great case, but I’m certainly not about to submerge it intentionally for very long. That’s where the Joy Factory RainBallet comes in to play.
Even before I go into the features of this underwater case for the iPhone 4 you’re probably already thinking about price. Aftermarket underwater cases are well-known for being outrageously expensive sometimes exceeding the cost of the device they house. This certainly isn’t true for the RainBallet, this IPX7 (protected against full submersion for 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter) spec case only costs about 50 bucks. Considering your phone costs upwards of 500 bucks, that’s not a bad price.
Overall the Joy Factory RainBallet looks well made, the rubberized front and textured back give a comfortable grip even when wet. It’s bulky, but lightweight and a snug fit for the phone. There are three latches along the top that you have to fully engage before it’s ready for submersion. The handy line around the outside serves as a visual reminder. The touch screen works well through the case, though it does need slightly more pressure. The home button is the only mechanical button that can be depressed once the case is on, though I have been able to depress the power button once or twice I haven’t been able to do it consistently enough to say it works. You’ll also be happy to know that the camera functions are fully supported and you can shoot photos and videos through the Sharpvue™ lens protecting both the front and back camera. The Intelli-filter™ design allows sound to travel both ways through the case, so you’ll be able to capture audio in all your videos, listen to your ipod, or even conduct a business meeting underwater.
