A good solar charger frees you up from wires and wall outlets, drawing power from the sun and converting it into energy for your mobile tech.
 is one of our favorite picks, with our review team praising it for its ruggedness, excellent charging rate, light weight, and affordability. One of the most important features to look for in a good sun-powered charger is its ability to convert solar energy into electricity, and Aukey’s model boasts a solar conversion rate of up to 23.5 percent, which means you won’t have to wait forever for your devices to charge.
Dual USB ports let you power up two of your devices simultaneously. Each port provides a 2.4A output, which can be ramped up to 3.1A when the charger is in direct sunlight. The solar panels are laminated and the charger is housed in rugged PVC fabric, creating a durable
exterior that is both water- and weather-resistant.
When not in use, the Aukey portable solar charger folds up flat and easily fits in your backpack or laptop bag. When unfolded, the unit can stand up on the ground for optimal positioning of the solar panels relative to the sun’s position in the sky.
. Aukey includes a 24-month warranty card with your purchase as well. If you’re getting ready to hit the trail or if you just need to keep your tech powered up when you’re out and about, now is a great chance to score a deal on a top-notch solar-powered charger.

Best camera deals: Save on DSLR, action cameras, point-and-shoot
While some of the best camera phones can offer you great picture quality, they don't really compare to a dedicated camera. Not only does the latter have more space for more complex hardware, but they also have the option of interchangeable lenses depending on what you need to do. To that end, we've collected some of our favorite camera deals below, especially since cameras can get quite expensive if you want good quality. Be sure to check out drone deals for aerial photography and GoPro deals for action photography. Also, if you're not quite sure what camera body type you should go for, be sure to check our guide on Mirrorless vs. DSLR to get a better sense of what you need.
Best DSLR camera deals
DSLR cameras are bulkier than mirrorless cameras, but they produce high-quality images that will let you capture the most beautiful moments. You'll be able to see directly through the lens with the mirrored optical viewfinder while composing your shot, and you've got your pick among years' worth of lenses, depending on what kind of pictures you want to take. DSLR camera deals are always in demand because they're expensive though, so hurry if you want to pocket the savings from the bargains we've gathered below.
Best GoPro deals: Save on action cameras and accessories
Recording your active lifestyle can be a lot of fun, especially if you do sports semi-professionally, and action cameras are perfect for recording all your achievements to share and compete with others. Luckily, the market has boomed lately, and even the best action cameras are pretty well-priced, especially if you go for a bundle that includes accessories. That said, one of the top brands in this space is GoPro, and it has a lot of great options for you to pick from, which is why we've gone out and collected our favorite GoPro deals for you to peruse. If you're interested in capturing action footage aerially, consider drone deals. If you prefer the standard point-and-click, check out our list of the best camera deals.
Best GoPro camera deals
GoPro HERO9 Black (open box) -- $213, was $250
The GoPro HERO9 Black is a bit of an older GoPro at this point, but that certainly doesn't mean that it's geriatric, and the older age means you can get it for a lot cheaper. It has a large front screen for you to work with, and it can take 27MP stills, although the 5k video recording is a little bit pointless on a model like this. It has a larger battery, which is nice, and if you're okay with going for a refurbished or open-box version, then you can save a little cash.
