Whether you’re headed back to school, work or on the road, we’ve rounded up a bunch of fun and useful gadgets from our friends at LOGiiX, from padded laptop sleeves to a tripod for smartphones. Here’s our pick for this season.
Tripod
This compact, bendy tripod reminds me of JOBY’s Gorilla Pods but instead of the flexible balls, there’s three legs of half-circle elements that can bend and shape your camera angle with both a 90-degree tilt and 360-degree rotation.
A knob on the side tightens and loosens the ball inside while a quick-release tab makes dismounting a lot easier.
The LOGiiX tripod holds smart phones and small and medium-sized digital cameras up to 1 kg (2.2 lb.). The included flexible clamp mounts your smartphone to the plate, great for quick time-lapse, self-timed and slo-mo videos. $34.99
Piston Power 6000
This sleek, aluminum-finish 6000mAh battery pack is a must when on the go. It’ll charge for 500 cycles, has overcharging protection, will charge most USB devices with a four-hour charge time and comes in a bunch of cool colours to match your gear.
On the bottom is a series of LED lights that indicates the amount of power left (4 lights = 100%, 3 lights = 75%, 2 lights = 50%, 1 light = 25%).
We only wish the Piston Power came with a case as the finish may scratch over time, but other than that, it’s been working like a charm for us. It ships with a white 30 cm (1 ft.) micro USB charging cable. Look for this travel essential in turquoise, gold, rose gold, graphite grey, silver and black. $39.99
Blue Piston V2
This is the updated version of the original Blue Piston and LOGiiX has definitely given this baby a design upgrade! The Blue Piston V2 delivers eight hours of music, a bass-bumping 52mm sound driver as well as a built-in, high-quality mic.
Press the button on the bottom to pause tunes to answer/end incoming phone calls or hold the button to reject a call (or to redial the previous number).
The Blue Piston V2 now sports a rubberized port access on back (auxiliary, USB) instead of direct ports in the previous version. As well, the on/off button is no longer on the back but on the bottom.
With durable aluminum housing, high quality sound output and included micro USB charging and 3.5mm auxiliary cables, the Blue Piston V2 packs a lot of sound in a small footprint. It’s available in rose gold, graphite grey, silver and blue. $49.99
Tour (padded sleeve for 13” devices)
Looking for a way to carry your 13” laptop or iPad Pro? LOGiiX offers Tour, a fully-padded canvas sleeve with a sturdy carrying handle on top plus a main pocket for smart phones, cables, even an iPad Mini.
It’s suitable for MacBook 2015/2016, MacBook Pro 13”, iPad Pro 12.9”, Microsoft Surface Pro 4, Samsung Chromebook Plus, Lenovo Yoga 910 and most 13” laptops and tablets.
We like that it’s a step above your typical neoprene sleeve and comes in a choice of three colours: blue, grey or midnight. $39.99
World Traveler II
We’re fans of LOGiiX world adaptors; they’re stackable and in the case of the World Traveler II, will work in over 100 countries (North America, UK, Europe, Australia).
This four-piece set snaps together and includes a drawstring pouch for popping into your luggage, backpack or purse.
Ours is in mint, but it also comes in blue, black and white. Having this spiffy adaptor makes spontaneous off-season travel a lot handier! $19.99
