Profoto A1 Studio Light

It looks like an external flash, yet Profoto insists the A1 is just as capable as its studio lights. From a glance, its round head indicates it's different than a standard speedlight, delivering natural, pleasing illumination with a smooth fall-off. A smart magnetic mount makes adding shapers and modifiers a breeze, a zoom function controls the spread with ease, and the built-in modeling light lets you see what you're getting before you take the shot. Powered by a high-capacity Li-ion cell, it lasts up to four times longer and recycles four times faster than typical on-camera solutions, has built-in Air Remote and AirTTL for wireless operation, and can function off-camera as part of a larger system. Available for Canon and Nikon cameras.

FrontRow Wearable Camera

Live streaming is a great way to share your experiences with friends and family. Unfortunately, when you're holding your phone up recording, you're not experiencing as much as you should. The FrontRow Wearable Camera by letting taking the camera out of your hands. It's powered by Android, with a small, discrete body, built-in Wi-fi and Bluetooth, and an eight-megapixel main camera. On the opposite side is a 2-inch round screen with direct streaming links for Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, a five-megapixel camera, and a home button. Its battery lasts for up to an hour and 45 minutes when streaming, up to 16 hours when used to capture a first-person time lapse, and the entire unit can be mounted in a variety of ways, including using a clip, chain adapter, or lanyard. Available in black or rose gold.

Aevena Aire Indoor Flying Robotic Assistant

Something of a cross between a security camera and a drone, the Aevena Aire Flying Robotic Assistant is a new type of homebound gadget. Using a ducted fan assembly for quiet flight, it has an arsenal of sensors that let it fly around autonomously, avoid obstacles from any angle, and automatically takeoff and land. Using it to take a picture is as easy as asking your Amazon Echo to do so — the Aire will take off, find you, and snap a shot with its built-in camera. You can also take control remotely using the companion app, and over-the-air updates such as automated security patrols and virtual home mapping will expand its capabilities further. It was designed to look non-threatening, and while it's not trying to be cute, it also doesn't look like the kind of robot that could be programmed to do you harm, either — so you can put any Terminator-style worries to rest.

8Bitdo SN30 Pro Game Controller

There's no denying its retro inspiration. Don't get confused, though — the 8Bitdo SN30 Pro Game Controller is a thoroughly modern piece of kit. Drawing its name from its ability to handle titles spanning 30 years, it has an impressive list of features, including clickable joysticks, vibration, motion controls, home and screenshot buttons, a rechargeable battery, and USB-C connectivity. Add on a smartphone clip to turn it into a mobile gaming system, or grab some of the company's Retro Receivers and use it with your vintage consoles. Compatible with the Nintendo Switch, Windows, Mac, Steam, and Android.

Cinera Theater Headset

The first immersive personal theater headset, Cinera, wants to disrupt the entire home theatre industry. Cinera combines the comfort of watching movies at home with the next best thing to watching in a theatre with a headset the size of a book. Install your favorite streaming apps, play from a micro SD card, or use the headset like a television by connecting it to your gaming system or PC. The sound quality is upgraded to mimic what you'd experience in a theatre, and you can even watch films in 3D with the Cinera. And each experience is enhanced at a media resolution that is eight times that of an iPhone and three times that of a movie theatre screen.

Presented by Cinera.

Polaroid OneStep 2 Camera

It's somehow fitting that the company that saved Polaroid's legacy has subsumed the original. Now operating under the moniker Polaroid Originals, the Impossible Project's first officially licensed offering is the Polaroid OneStep 2 i-Type Camera. Inspired by the original OneStep, and taking cues from the company's I-1 Instant Camera, it offers simple operation, optical-grade Polycarbonate and Acrylic lenses, a flash, and a rechargeable battery. It shoots both 600 and Impossible's — sorry, Polaroid's — i-Type film, and will begin shipping next month in black and white.

Apple iPhone X

It's hard to believe it's been ten years since the original iPhone. To mark the occasion, Apple's pulling out all the stops with the Apple iPhone X (Ten, not "Ex"). Immediately apparent is its nearly bezel-free design with 5.8-inch TrueTone OLED Super Retina display and stainless-steel side bands. Less so is the host of new tech inside, from infrared, neural network-powered 3D facial recognition, or Face ID, to an A11 Bionic processor with a neural engine and dual camera system, with optical image stabilization for both lenses. The glass back allows for Qi-compatible wireless charging, and with an optional charging mat, you can charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods with a single outlet. It comes in space gray and silver, in 64GB and 256GB, and arrives in November.

Apple iPhone 8

No, it's not the new flagship — that title belongs to the iPhone X — but the Apple iPhone 8 is no slouch, either. While it looks quite similar to past models from the front, the rear is now glass, allowing for Qi wireless charging, and the new stereo speakers improve the audio experience dramatically. Both 12-megapixel cameras have been upgraded, with a new feature on the Plus that creates a depth map of your subject and applies effects for even better portraits. The 4.7-inch display of the 8 and 5.5-inch display of the 8 Plus now offer True Tone technology, the A11 Bionic processor is blazingly fast, and it comes space gray, silver, and gold.

Apple TV 4K

It was just a matter of time, but that doesn't make the Apple TV 4K any less welcome. In addition to generally making the menus sharper, the latest upgrade to Apple's familiar black box includes both access to 4K shows and movies from iTunes and 4K streams from services like Netflix and Amazon. It also adds HDR support, plays highly detailed games from the App Store, and of course, includes a Siri remote for voice-powered navigation. Oh, and don't worry about re-buying your iTunes movies — you get upgraded to 4K for free.

Fujifilm X-E3 Camera

The first major refinement of Fuji's mid-level line in years, the Fujifilm X-E3 Camera packs a better camera into an even smaller package. Its 24.3-megapixel X-Trans sensor, already well-regarded for its sharpness and color rendition, is paired with an X-Processor Pro engine that lets it capture 4K footage and ups response times. The phase detection autofocus system has also been improved, tracking objects half the size, or moving twice as fast, as previous models, and there's also a new touchscreen for improved operation and Bluetooth LE for enhanced connectivity. Available in black or silver, by itself or paired with an 18-55mm or 23mm lens.

Glow Smart Energy Tracker

Tracking your home's energy use has obvious benefits — but doing so has typically required complicated, potentially dangerous installation steps. The Glow Smart Energy Tracker makes it easy. Its wireless tracking unit uses magneto-resistive sensing to measure your home's energy consumption directly from your meter box, yet installs in just seconds with no wiring required. That data is sent to the in-home unit, which processes it and uses its top-mounted light that changes colors from green to red depending on your current usage. It'll also send you a notification if it notices extended high usage, like if you left the oven on or the fridge door open, and can even help you set and hit energy usage goals.

Bose Soundlink Micro Speaker

Measuring just 3.75 inches square and only 1.5 inches thick, the Bose Soundlink Micro Speaker produces surprisingly large sound for such a small speaker. The secret is in the custom-designed transducer, dual-passive radiators, and battery that were designed in tandem as a single system. As a result, this tiny speaker can provide up to 6 hours of clear, satisfying audio per charge. It's waterproof, the silicone exterior holds up well against bumps, falls, dirt, and sand, and a durable strap makes it easy to attach to whatever's around. Available in black, midnight blue, and orange, it can also pair with a second unit for full stereo sound.

Hasselblad X1D Field Kit

A camera is only as good as the lenses you have to go with it. The Hasselblad X1D Field Kit ensures you have everything you need to capture breathtaking images. It starts with an X1D-50c body, offering 50 megapixels of resolution and a compact mirrorless build. Paired with it are three tack-sharp f/3.5 primes at 30mm, 45mm, and 90mm, offering the 35mm equivalent of a 24mm, 35mm, and 71mm, respectively. Capping off the set are two batteries, shoulder and wrist straps, a cleaning cloth, dust blower, and lens pen, and a rugged Pelican carrying case.

PodCase

AirPods and iPhones go together like peas and carrots. While the former's charging case is fantastic, it's also yet another thing to charge and carry with you. The PodCase solves this (and several other) problems. Created by ex-Pebble and Avegant founders, it keeps your phone safe from drops while also storing your 'Pods and incorporates a 2,500 mAh battery to keep things charged up. It also works as a USB-C charger for both your phone and the earphones so that you can leave at least one cord at home. It'll be available for the iPhone 7, the 7 Plus, and Apple's new lineup of Fall 2017 handsets.

Sony Walkman NW-ZX300 Music Player

With the majority of the world's music catalog available in our pockets anywhere, anytime, any old-school, standalone player is going to need a good reason to exist. The Sony Walkman NW-ZX300 Music Player has more than one. For starters, it supports high-resolution music formats like DSD and uses proprietary technology to upscale compressed audio. Its S-Master HX amplifier eliminates distortion by keeping things 100% digital until right before output, and the standard mini-plug jack is joined by a balanced output that delivers entirely separated right and left channels, as well as LDAC transmission for a wireless experience far superior to regular Bluetooth. Finally, it can also function as a DAC for your computer when connected over USB, improving the audio quality of everything from Skype calls to YouTube videos.

Sony WF-1000X Wireless Earphones

Offering noise canceling, NFC wireless charging, and a ten-foot transmission range, the WF-1000X handles calls and music streaming with ease. The quarter-inch dome drivers provide crisp, clear sound and the built-in batteries allow for three hours of use between charges. Sony's charging case can deliver 75 minutes of playback with only 15 minutes of charging and has the power capacity for two complete charges before it needs to be plugged in. The headphones also come with a slew of in-ear buds to ensure you find the perfect fit.

Sharp Aquos 8K TV

We know — it's still hard to find quality content for your 4K sets. For the future-proofers out there, though, the new Sharp Aquos 8K TV is ready for the content that comes after that. Put aside the question of programming for a second. Its 7,680 x 4,320 pixels offer 16 times the resolution of Full HD and can render fine details that you may or may not notice, depending on how close you're sitting. It will see a staggered rollout starting in China next month and extending to Japan, Taiwan, and Europe, but there's no word yet on a US release.

Temi Personal Robot

Part Echo, part iPad, part butler, the Temi Personal Robot is a rethinking of how we interact with technology. It has an array of sensors and cameras that let it autonomously navigate your home, coming to you when called. It can handle standard AI assistant stuff like making calls, summoning a ride, and playing music. It can also handle tasks stationary and handheld devices can't, like letting you video chat hands-free while naturally moving through your space, taking videos and photos for you, thanks to face tracking technology, and even carrying and charging items you've placed on its tray. It's backed by Roboteam, the company behind several military-grade robots, and will be beta testing this fall for a wider launch next year.

Beats Studio3 Wireless Headphones

Beats' Solo line might be more common, but it was the over-ear Studios that got the company started. Beats Studio3 Wireless Headphones bring the model in-line with the rest of the family while adding some new tricks exclusive to the flagship. Most notably, the Studio3s are powered Apple's W1 chip, giving them the same seamless pairing as the AirPods. It also enables their new Pure Adaptive Noise Canceling technology, which auto-calibrates up to 50,000 times per second to block out any unwanted noise and adjust for head movement, fit, and even the shape of your ear. They run for up to 22 hours with Pure ANC enabled or 40 with it off and can get another three hours of juice in just ten minutes of charging. Available in several stylish colors.

Logitech Craft Wireless Keyboard

The keyboard has been a part of computing since the beginning. The Logitech Craft Wireless Keyboard gives this essential input device a substantial upgrade with a single round nub. Called the Crown, it's a touch-sensitive control that lets you adjust specific attributes — such as the exposure in Photoshop, or the width of a column in Word — directly, without needing to visit a menu. It works in a variety of Adobe apps as well as with Office on the PC and is sure to gain more compatibility in the future. Additional features include a rechargeable battery, spherical key dishing that makes for comfortable typing and easier navigation, and backlighting so you can see what you're typing, even in the dark.

Conway Electric Extō+4

The days of trying to hide the extension cord running to your home stereo with a plant are over. The Extō+4 extension cord and outlet from Conway Electric is more piece of art than simply a way to get power from point A to point B, making it something you'll actually want on display. The cotton cord is woven on 50-year-old machines from the Pacific Northwest and the full assembly is put together in Seattle from mostly domestic sources. A cast aluminum housing sits on non-slip, non-marking urethane feet so it won't move once in place, or it can be mounted to any surface with a couple screws. On the technical side, the Extō4 is comprised of 8 feet of 14-guage, 15 amps rated FT-2 flame test cord that's also impervious to oil and water, and a 1800 max watts rating. It also just so happens to be the only 4-outlet modular power source with internal tamper resistant barriers protecting the electric current from little objects, helping prevent shock. Available fully blacked out or in a somewhat more tame ACDC white and black duo.

DJI Mavic Pro Platinum Drone

A leader in the drone market, DJI are taking things to the next level with the Mavic Pro Platinum Drone. Featuring a brand-new aerodynamic design, the new quadcopter has an impressive flight time of up to 30 minutes and is 60 percent quieter than the previous Mavic Pro. It also has a 4k camera, and the new FOC ESC drivers offer sinusoidal current for increased stability, and its available for preorder right now.

Street Fighter II 30th Anniversary Edition

It was a legend in it's day, and now that legend is back. Street Fighter II brought the two-player fighting game to the masses when it released on the SNES in 1992. Games would never be the same, and a host of copycats would follow in its wake — most notably Mortal Combat. To honor the 30th anniversary of the Street Fighter II: World Warrior arcade game, Capcom commissioned this release of the original SNES cartridge, complete with Ryu-red or Blanka-green cartridge and lots of exclusive box candy. They've already sold out, but keep checking back for the chance to own yours.

SanDisk Ultra 400GB MicroSD Card

Give your phone or tablet desktop-like capacity with the SanDisk Ultra 400GB MicroSD Card. It has a 100mbps speed rating that lets it write HD video as you capture it, and it's compatible with most Android devices and many cameras. It also works with the SanDisk Memory Zone app (available on the Google Play store) for optimal file sorting and organization, and as a makeshift second hard drive for many laptops via a micro-to-standard SD adapter.

Sony RX0 Camera

Its size, weight, and rugged chassis all suggest the Sony RX0 Camera is just another action cam. Its specs do not. Powered by a 1.0-inch stacked 15.3-megapixel Exmor RS sensor paired with a Bionz X processor and wide-angle 24mm f/4 Zeiss lens, it captures crisp 4K video and stills at up to 16 fps. It's also waterproof, shockproof, and crushproof, the latter thanks to its duralumin chassis, and it weighs just 3.9 oz. with a body that's under two inches tall, less than an inch and a half deep, and under two and a half wide. Most intriguing, though, is its minimal design that's meant to be used with a range of accessories, from lights and mounts to other RX0 units in a bullet time-style setup.

Bang & Olufsen Beoplay E8 Earphones

Truly wireless earphones are quickly becoming the norm, so that's not what let these Bang & Olufsen Beoplay E8 Earphones stand out. Instead, it's the attention to detail you expect from the brand. That includes a Digital Signal Processor that lets you adjust the EQ and gain from within an app, an adjustable Transparency Mode that lets you hear the world around you with a simple tap, and a playtime of four hours, with an extra eight provided by the charging case. Made from premium materials like leather, aluminum, stainless steel, and durable polymer, they're available in black or gray.

Technics Reference Class SP-10R Turntable

Turntable historians might remember the Technics SP-10 line of direct drive tables that reached the height of popularity in the 1980's. And now, the SP line is being resurrected in the form of this immaculate SP-10R Turntable. The brand new deck comes with a 7KG platter for rotation stability and is made of brass, aluminum, and rubber. Audiophiles are sure to be wooed by the SP-10R's incredibly low wow and flutter, along with the world's best signal to noise ratio. And it even has a separately housed power supply to minimize hum and vibration. The vinyl revolution shows no signs of slowing, and it's nice to have more premium turntables like this one available for purchase.

Bang & Olufsen BeoVision Eclipse TV

Combining the Danish firm's audio and design expertise with LG's display acumen, the Bang & Olufsen BeoVision Eclipse TV promises to be one of the best-performing and best-looking sets you can buy. At its heart is a 4K OLED panel offering unrivaled black levels and contrast ratio, picture quality rivaled only by the audio emanating from its integrated three-channel, 450 watt sound system. The design sees the speakers' aluminum grille used to break up the expanse of black glass, complemented by either a motorized double-axis stand or wall mount. Available in 55- and 65-inch models.
