Lens Cap Strap Holder keeps your caps from disappearing into the abyss

As photographers ourselves, we are more than a little familiar with the problem of losing lens caps. They must go to the same place as socks and spare change because we can never seem to hold on to one for any normal length of time. There are a few tricks for hanging on to them, namely either being responsible and putting them in the same pocket every time or using one of those fancy elastic lens-cap attachments that dangles off of your camera and gets in your macro shots. Neither of those have been a happy solution for us, but we may have found something that could eliminate the problem forever.

From our friends over at Photojojo comes the Lens Cap Strap Holder ($18), which slides onto almost any camera strap as a perfect snap-in holder for your lens cap while you’re in shooting mode. The cap comes in four different sizes and will slide easily onto your existing camera strap as long as it doesn’t have any metal hardware. Maybe if we get our hands on one of these we can stop searching every pocket of our camera bag three times over.

Shark ChillPill first look: A surprisingly cool EDC route to beating the heat

A triple-mode cooling gizmo that deserves a spot in your EDC kit.

Person using the Shark ChillPill.

I first saw the Shark ChillPill on social media and thought it looked like a pretty interesting little gadget to try. Taking it out to the golf course on a warm day seemed like the right way to put it through its paces, because the ChillPill has three different ways of cooling you down: a high-speed fan, a mister, and a chilling plate that makes direct contact with your skin. You can't use all three at once, which is a little disappointing, but I was curious to see how each one worked in the heat.

How strange it is to be anything at all: A first look at physical AI through Intern 2

I unboxed Autonomous Intern 2 expecting to meet an AI agent. Instead, it got me thinking about what it means for AI to have a physical presence at all

Triangle, Lamp, Tent

There is an episode of The IT Crowd where Moss and Roy convince Jen that a small black box with a blinking light contains the entire internet. She carefully carries it around like some impossibly important piece of technology.

Intern 2 gave me a little of that feeling.

Why Your Next Outdoor Security Camera Might Need Three Lenses

EZVIZ Puts Triple-Lens Outdoor Security in the Spotlight at IFA 2026

Monitoring a home often means watching several things at once. Just as a car pulls into the driveway, a visitor might approach the front gate, or movement could catch your eye in the side garden. For many European homes, this is a familiar scenario.

The challenge becomes even more noticeable when a property includes a backyard, detached garage, or swimming pool. Installing another camera for every angle is one solution, but it also means more devices to set up, manage, and maintain.
