Incase’s new GoPro backpack pays homage to pro surfer Kelly Slater

Add as a preferred source on Google

Kelly Slater is one of world’s most renowned surfers, so it’s appropriate Incase partnered with him to create a series of GoPro bags and cases. The Kelly Slater Action Pack Bundle ($330) includes the Kelly Slater Action Camera Pro Pack backpack, which has a GoPro mount built into the strap – for quickly recording without needing to attach any accessories.

The Kelly Slater version of the existing Action Camera Pro Pack has a custom Dolphin Gray color with Aqua Tiger Camo print accents. Incase describes the color combination was inspired by “the appearance of the ocean’s surface and the interplay of light and the dark at dusk.” The bag is made from a 1680D ballistic nylon and 600D poly non PVC exterior for weather resistance. Zippers are also coated for durability.

Inside is a large compartment with a divider that can be repositioned. There are quick-access pockets, and besides a GoPro, you could carry a DSLR/mirrorless camera and an iPad for photography workflows.

What makes the Kelly Slater version unique is the bundled accessories that includes the H20 Mono Kit (a GoPro Hero case), H20 Accessory Organizer, Protective Cover for GoPro Hero, another Accessory Organizer, and a GoPro nest made from Tensaerlite (the name of shock absorption material Incase uses). The weather-sealed H20 Accessory Organizer is made to float, with an interior Tensaerlite frame. Some of the accessories are also available separately for purchase.

If you don’t need the custom design, the regular Action Camera Pro Pack (which also looks cool) is available for $200, minus the accessories.

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.

This new $30 keychain camera is coming for Kodak Charmera with a flip screen for selfies
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.
