°Concepter iBlazr 2 wireless LED flash $54
When it comes to pictures, sometimes a smartphone flash just won’t do. For those environments too dim or dark to capture adequately with your phone’s camera, the iBlazr 2 compensates with four beefy flash LEDs. Snap it on your phone with the included clip and the small Bluetooth flash accessory will sync with the native camera app on your phone, letting you adjust such parameters as color temperature from 3200K to 5600K and brightness. It lasts up to 300 flashes or three hours of continuous light on a single USB charge. The iBlazr 2 has an impressive range of 80 ft, and it is capable of delivering up to 300 LUX on 1m flash with the press of the device’s touch sensor.
Moff Band wearable smart toy ($55)
Wearables for kids are a mixed bag, but Moff may be onto something with the Moff Band. It’s plushy, brightly colored Bluetooth-connected slap-on wristband with accelerometers that monitor the wearer’s wrist position. As a motion tracker, the band performs well enough, but it’s the software partnerships that Moff’s been able to secure that are truly impressive. It signed a deal with PBS in November of last year to launch the gesture-driven PBS KIDS Party App, and at the CES announced a partnership with Bandai Namco (a video game company) to produce a Moff-compatible version of Pac-Man. (Pac-Man’s movement is controlled by the direction of your outstretched arm.) The Moff band comes in blue, orange, and pink.
Do you constantly lose your headphones or helplessly tangle them every time you get them from a bag or pocket? Ashley Chloe may have the answer. The San Francisco design firm demoed the Helix Cuff at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show, a sleek and hollow wristband with a compartment that houses a pair of portable noise-reducing, high quality stereo Bluetooth headphones. The cord attaching the two earpieces is small enough to prevent kinks and knots, and, as an Ashley Chloe spokesperson said, “you have the security of knowing headphones are always with you.” The Helix Cuff will ship in grey with white accents, black with gold accents, and all-black when this spring for $200 in March. An 18k gold edition will debut later this year for $300.
