Take your dog’s videography to the next level with the K9 Carts Film Stabilization Dolly

Add as a preferred source on Google

“Are you tired of bouncy film from your dog’s camera harness?” This is the question that K9 Carts, the “Pet Mobility Experts Since 1961,” are asking in the promo video (watch below) to their latest product, the Canine Film Stabilization Dolly (right, cause who doesn’t have that problem?). Whether or not your four-legged friend is mobility impaired or not, this dolly will help to make his or her video footage much smoother.

We don’t know if the launch of the Dolly and GoPro’s Fetch harness for dogs coincided by chance or not, but they do seem to complement each other rather well. While the GoPro harness provides the means to outfit your dog with an action cam, the Dolly provides the stabilization needed for (more or less) shake-free footage – so much so that K9 Carts boldly claims that footage taken with one of its dollies is “on average 38-percent easier to watch.”

Need more convincing? K9 Carts says its product comes with shock absorption that makes it possible for your dog to run during video capture, without it resulting in shaky footage, and that its dolly helps eliminate background noise and handle all kinds of terrain. And here’s the best part: the harness straps are hand-sewn in the U.S.A.!

The K9 Carts Film Stabilization Dolly for dogs can now be pre-ordered directly from K9 Carts, with prices ranging from $225 to $525. Availability of the product has not been announced yet.

I bought Kodak’s viral keychain camera, and the bad photos are part of its charm
The Kodak Charmera is barely a camera, and I still keep using it
Machine, Wheel, Camera

I bought the Kodak Charmera partly because I wanted a portable digital camera, and partly because I wanted a pretty little collectible. The Charmera is sold as a blind box, so you do not know which version you are getting until the box is opened. There are multiple retro Kodak-style designs, plus a transparent secret edition that looks like the one everyone would want.

I had the shopkeeper pick my box for better luck, and it worked out. I got the yellow variant, which is inspired by Kodak's original 80s disposable camera. The transparent one is definitely the fun collector’s piece, but the yellow model feels like the proper Kodak version. It looks like a tiny toy camera that escaped from a souvenir shop, found a keyring, and now hangs around wherever you go.

Yashica's new camera makes toy photography more fun
YASHICA Funtastic Keychain Camera in multiple variants

Tiny digital cameras are all the rage, and Yashica is now offering a very cute toy photography experience of its own. The company’s new Funtastic Keychain Camera is exactly what the name suggests, a miniature digital camera small enough to clip onto your keys, bag, or lanyard. The popular Kodak Charmera is the obvious comparison, which brings a tiny blind-box keychain camera that became a viral collectible.

Now, Yashica's version lands in the same novelty-camera lane, but adds one very useful trick, which is a 180-degree flip screen.

Google releases big v4.0 update for its popular Snapseed editing app on Android
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

After years of sitting on its hands, Google appears to have remembered it owns one of the best photo editing apps on mobile. Snapseed 4.0 is now rolling out to Android, bringing the platform up to speed after a stretch of iOS exclusivity that left Android users watching from the sidelines.

The story starts last June, when Google quietly broke Snapseed out of its long dormancy with a significant 3.0 update for iPhone. It was a surprise move that suggested the company was serious about the app again. Google then confirmed at the start of this year that Android wouldn't be left behind for long, and true to that word, the Play Store listing has now been updated to reflect version 4.0 — skipping straight past 3.0 for Android users and landing both platforms on the same version simultaneously.
