Best Drone’s under $1000


Best Drone’s under $1000 for 2018

Drone’s have gotten to be a huge market for the aerial hobby enthusiasts.  They are much easier to control then plane’s and even helicopters generally speaking.  With the addition of a quality camera you can get some great still shots or video to share.  Some of these have several different modes for shooting great video/stills.  You can program them to follow you or take a certain path using GPS.

Here’s the best drone’s under $1000 I’ve found for 2018 so far.

The Mavic uses Sky Autonomy technology to sense obstacles up to 49ft (15m) away. It can then bypass these obstacles or brake to hover, preventing accidents even when flying beyond visual range.

The Mavic is only 1/6th the size of the Phantom 4 and is capable of reaching an absolute max flight time of 27 minutes and a maximum distance of 8mi (13km) due to its powerful, high efficiency motors.

The Mavic works in tandem with DJI’s GO mobile app for accessing settings, getting a telemetry readout, viewing a low-latency video feed, and even editing and sharing your footage. In addition traditional joystick style controls, you can fly with simple tap-based commands, and the Mavic can even recognize gestures for the perfect selfie

The copter is powered by its easy, intuitive remote control, the ST16 Personal Ground Station, which features a 7-inch Android touchscreen that displays live footage of your flight.   Team Mode With Team Mode, you can bind one Personal Ground Station to the copter and one Personal Ground Station to the CGO3+ camera simultaneously. Through cooperation between the pilot and the photographer, capturing breathtaking still images and video has never been easier. Collision Avoidance The front sonar sensor allows the copter to detect obstacles automatically, ensuring a more stable, intelligent and overall safer flight.

Global View The 3-axis anti-vibration CGO3+ gimbal camera captures ultra-stable video and vivid still images and can be adjusted to an unlimited, 360-degree range of motion. The CGO3+ gimbal camera features a 115-degree wide-angle fixed focus lens, an integrated video downlink module that delivers 720p real image transmission of your flight as well as the option of manual camera settings.

Best Smartwatches for 2018


Top 5 Smartwatches for 2018

 

All of these work with both Android and Apple devices.  All except for the last one are round, which is my personal preference.  I did leave off the Apple Watch just because it only works with Apple devices so didn’t really make my requirement for this list.  Not saying it’s a bad watch since it does do some things really well.  The version 3 you can see here https://amzn.to/2Q4ZQ9W

So these are my top 5 smartwatches for 2018 so far.  The first two have watch faces that are fully digital so can do a lot of things, but the battery life takes a hit because of it.  The next two are hybrids so they look more like traditional watches with smaller digital displays for showing notifications, alarms, steps, etc…  The last one is the Fitbit Versa, which is more like the first two except it has a square screen.

Garmin does make a more sturdy smartwatch geared more towards someone that either works or plays in the outdoors a little more.  It has the sapphire screen option that makes the screen virtually unbreakable and very hard to scratch.  I didn’t include it mostly because it is pretty expensive compared to all of these upwards of $500.  If interested in that one you can find that here https://amzn.to/2oHrygw

Top Battery Weed Eater

Top 5 battery powered weed eaters 2018


Top 5 battery powered weed eaters that won’t break the bank

Are you sick of changing the oil and running to get gas for your weed eater?  Is your arm numb from the vibration after your done as well?  If you want to make a change then check out these top 5 battery powered weed eaters.  Some of these units come with a 1.5 Ah (Amp hours) or 2 Ah battery, but I would recommend to upgrade to the higher Ah rated batteries by either selecting that option or purchasing an additional battery with the higher Amp hours.

20V or 40V?

If you are already an owner of one of these brands you can purchase them without the battery to save some upfront cost.  Just make sure they are of the higher Ah variety for best performance.  The nice thing about all of these is the batteries are compatible with a lot of the other tools that these brands carry.  The 20V and 18V tools have the most compatible tools, but there’s more coming out for the 40V varieties.  The 40V is supposed to give a little more power and should last longer per charge.  It does depend on the Amp hours however so there is some give and take to going each direction.  The 20V tools will be a little lighter.

The Greenworks 40V line claims over 40 tools available in that realm.  The DeWalt claims over 100 in their 20V Max line.  Milwaukee says more than 125 tools, but I ended up removing that one for the Worx because of price so here it is if interested in that one  https://amzn.to/2nLmB5G.  That one has a 9Ah battery for more power and lasts longer, but that makes it more expensive.  The Worx is a new model that takes (2) 20V batteries and works in conjunction to create 40V power.  This helps if you are a current user of Worx 20V products.

Which should you choose?

There’s pros and cons to all of these so there isn’t really a perfect must have model.  The two Black+Decker models are more for someone looking for something light and are a little less heavy duty, but both have the edger feature.  If you want something that has the capability to use attachments like a blower, cultivator, edger, pole saw, etc.. then the Greenworks fits that description.  The Greenworks, DeWalt and Milwaukee all have the brushless motors that are supposed to be longer lasting and quieter.  Those 3 also have dual line feed to help cut the weeds more efficiently.  Either way one of these should be able to fit the bill to fit your battery powered weed eater/String trimmer/whacker (whatever you want to call it) needs.

Most of these are even under $50 since these are getting more popular.  Here’s the best I’ve found for the best true wireless Bluetooth earbud headphones.  There’s a lot out there so I only looked at the ones with good reviews that weren’t fake.  There’s a lot of fake reviews so those that didn’t pass the www.fakespot.com test of at least a B were eliminated right away.  These are all the type that are the true wireless style.  If you like the style that have a wire that connects in between then check out my previous post. Best Bluetooth Earbud headphones under $50 for 2018

In looking for the best Bluetooth Earbuds I also eliminated any with older technology.  So these will all be at least Bluetooth 4.1 or better.  Bluetooth 4.0 was a big step for this wireless technology making the devices much lower in power consumption.  This was enhanced with 4.1 making the connection smarter with interference and connectivity.  4.2 didn’t add much to headphones, but the new 5.0 makes the connections faster, longer range and can handle more data (not that it helps headphones) You can find more differences here http://majorhifi.com/the-difference-between-bluetooth-3-0-4-0-4-1-4-2-explained/

Best Mesh Wireless Networks for Home 2018


5 Best Mesh Wireless (WiFi )

Does your wireless network need a boost?  The new craze in wireless networking is mesh wireless network topology and there’s a pretty good reason why.  They use multiple nodes (wireless devices) that work together to figure out the best path for your device and are smarter then traditional router/access point setups.

So what is a mesh wireless network?

According to Wikipedia a mesh network is local network topology in which the infrastructure nodes (i.e. bridges, switches and other infrastructure devices) connect directly, dynamically and non-hierarchically to as many other nodes as possible and cooperate with one another to efficiently route data from/to clients. This lack of dependency on one node allows

Mesh Wi-Fi Networking

for every node to participate in the relay of information. Mesh networks dynamically self-organize and self-configure, which can reduce installation overhead. The ability to self-configure enables dynamic distribution of workloads, particularly in the event that a few nodes should fail. This in turn contributes to fault-tolerance and reduced maintenance costs. For a full explanation visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_networking

I picked the top 5 mesh wireless networks currently in 2018.  These are all packaged and all have additional configurations. I tried to keep these close to the same type of setup for this comparison.  Most have 3 devices in this roundup except for the Netgear since the 2 are a little more powerful then most of the 3’s.  There are also some new options that can turn your current wireless setup to a mesh network with an add-on, but I stayed away from those for now.

Management

All of these have a mobile app that you can manage your network so gone are the days of logging into a web based solution to configure your network.  The big advantage to that is you can login remotely from anywhere you have internet access.  So if you’re out with friends and have a teenager at home not doing what they’re told you can shut down their connection.  Yes I’ve done that before and keeps you in control along with your sanity.  That might sound lazy or cruel to some, but internet access is such a big deal today for these kids that sometimes they need to be disconnected so they can use their brain again.  When it comes to the parental controls part some offer an upgraded version with even more control if the basics don’t meet your needs.

These 5 are not listed in any particular order since they all have different strengths that will differ for your own individual needs/wants.  Mesh wireless networks should improve just about every home and business networks over the traditional type.
