Large-format 3D printing has been stuck in a frustrating paradox for years. You could have massive build volumes or you could have speed, but rarely both without spending industrial-level money. Consider the Prusa XL with its respectable 360×360×360mm build volume crawling along at conservative speeds, or the Bambu X1 Carbon screaming at 500mm/s but confined to a 256×256×256mm cube. The few machines that attempted to bridge this gap either crawled along at glacial speeds or delivered questionable reliability when pushed to their limits. Enter Sovol’s SV08 Max, a Kickstarter-backed beast that promises to shatter this compromise with a 500×500×500mm build volume running at speeds up to 700mm/s.

The timing feels deliberate. As makers increasingly tackle larger projects and small-scale manufacturing becomes more accessible, the demand for capable large-format machines has intensified. Sovol appears to have recognized that the sweet spot lies somewhere between hobbyist printers that max out at 300mm cubed and industrial machines that cost more than most people’s cars. The SV08 Max positions itself as the democratization of serious large-format printing, for the same price as an iPhone Pro.

The specs on the SV08 Max read like a wish list from someone who’s tired of the traditional limitations of large-format printing. Beyond the headline-grabbing 500×500×500mm build volume, this printer boasts 40,000mm/s² acceleration and a high-flow hotend capable of pushing 50mm³ of filament per second. These numbers matter tremendously for large prints. I’ve watched enough massive prints crawl along to know that doubling the size of an object can quadruple the print time. The ability to maintain high speeds throughout massive prints could genuinely transform workflows for prop makers, prototype developers, and small-batch manufacturers who currently wait days for large parts to complete.

CoreXY kinematics form the mechanical foundation here, and this choice reveals Sovol’s understanding of the physics involved. Moving a 500mm bed back and forth at high speeds would create enough momentum to shake the entire machine apart, a lesson painfully learned by anyone who’s watched a bed-slinger printer vibrate itself into oblivion during fast prints. Instead, the SV08 Max keeps the bed stationary while lightweight belts move the printhead across both X and Y axes simultaneously. This approach enables the claimed 40,000 mm/s² acceleration without turning your print surface into a vibrating mess, but it also demands frame rigidity that separates serious machines from weekend projects.

The eddy current bed leveling system deserves particular attention because it addresses one of large-format printing’s most soul-crushing challenges. Traditional probe-based leveling on a 500mm bed would take forever and still miss subtle variations that could ruin first-layer adhesion hours into a print. Eddy current sensing uses electromagnetic induction to detect distance without physical contact, scanning the entire bed surface in just 80 seconds compared to the 10+ minutes required by conventional probing systems. This technology typically appears in high-end industrial machines, but Sovol brings it to their $999 printer. The physics are elegant: generate a magnetic field near the conductive bed surface, measure the induced eddy currents, and calculate precise distance variations across the entire plane instantly. The result is a perfect first layer, every damn time.

That 8mm thick aluminum bed paired with 1300W of heating power tells a story about thermal management priorities that most consumer printer manufacturers ignore. Most desktop machines use 3-6mm beds with 500-800W heaters, which struggle to maintain even temperatures across large surfaces and create the thermal gradients that cause corner lifting on big prints. The SV08 Max’s thicker bed distributes heat more evenly while the powerful heater brings it up to temperature quickly, addressing the thermal lag that makes large-bed printers frustrating to use.

Add the optional heated enclosure, and you’re looking at a machine capable of handling engineering plastics that demand stable thermal environments, moving beyond PLA into materials that actually matter for functional parts. ABS, nylon, and polycarbonate prints become viable at this scale, territories usually reserved for machines costing five times as much.

The smart auxiliary feeder system tackles another large-format pain point that separates weekend hobbyists from serious makers. Running out of filament or dealing with tangles 30 hours into a massive print represents both wasted time and material, the kind of failure that makes people abandon ambitious projects. Active monitoring for clogs and tangles means the machine can pause or alert you before disasters occur, a feature that should be standard but remains rare outside premium machines. Combined with the 50mm³/s flow rate capability, this setup should handle the volume demands of high-speed large-format printing without choking on material feed issues that plague machines pushed beyond their thermal limits.

Klipper firmware integration signals Sovol’s commitment to the enthusiast community rather than the plug-and-play crowd served by Bambu’s proprietary ecosystem. Unlike closed firmware that locks users into specific workflows, Klipper enables advanced features like input shaping for vibration control, pressure advance for better extrusion, and extensive customization options that let users squeeze every bit of performance from their hardware. The open-source approach means community-driven improvements and troubleshooting resources, crucial for early adopters who will inevitably encounter edge cases with such an ambitious machine pushing multiple boundaries simultaneously.

This isn’t Sovol’s first rodeo with large-format CoreXY machines. The original SV08 launched with a respectable 350×350×345mm build volume, positioning itself as an affordable alternative to Voron 2.4 builds while proving Sovol could execute CoreXY kinematics at consumer price points. The Max represents meaningful evolution beyond simple scaling, upgrading from 30mm³/s to 50mm³/s flow rates, swapping basic inductive probing for eddy current scanning, and boosting bed power to 1300W for thermal stability across that massive 500mm surface. The SV08 Max isn’t just a bigger printer; it innovates on an existing design to be faster, more feature-packed, and qualitatively better.

The Kickstarter campaign prices the SV08 Max at $999 for early bird backers without enclosure, jumping to $1,198 with the heated chamber included, before hitting $1,299 at retail. The printers ship globally starting August 2025, with a 1-year warranty backing the device.

Remember when slapping a case on your phone felt like admitting defeat; a bulky, rubbery admission that you valued function over form? Thankfully, times have changed. Now, cases are as much about expressing yourself as they are about surviving that dreaded butter-fingers moment. And in the world of gaming, especially with the newly debuted Nintendo Switch 2, that need for protection and personality becomes even more crucial, SUPCASE is redefining how gamers think about protection – not as an afterthought, but as part of the gaming ritual.

Let’s be real, the Nintendo Switch is basically a handheld shrine to our favorite digital worlds; a device we’ll clutch on commutes, huddle with on couches, and maybe, just maybe, rage-quit less when it’s wrapped in something that can take a beating. Now in its second avatar, the Switch 2 even more capable, even more powerful, and arguably, deserving of an even more design-driven approach when it comes to accessories. Enter Jet Weng, Design Director at SUPCASE, and the mastermind behind the company’s philosophy of fusing robust protection with thoughtful design. His approach isn’t about slapping armor on tech, it’s about creating a symbiotic relationship between the device and the user.

Weng’s journey began, unsurprisingly, with a childhood steeped in tinkering with the most vivid memory being that of disassembling his uncle’s Walkman at the age of 10. “Every day of my childhood was surrounded by the process of taking devices apart, diagnosing problems, repairing, and reassembling,” he recalls. This hands-on education fostered a deep understanding of how things work; a foundation upon which he would later build his design ethos. It’s this innate curiosity that sets his work apart, first with his Behance portfolio that prioritized “feasible concepts that are fused with a poetic touch”, followed by his journey to turn protective cases into engineered solutions rather than mere accessories.

The SUPCASE UB Pro for the Switch 2 is a prime example of Weng’s vision. The UB Pro is a meticulously crafted exoskeleton designed to enhance the Switch 2 experience, not hinder it. It boasts military-grade protection, meeting MIL-STD-810G standards; meaning it can withstand some serious drops and bumps. A 2.5mm raised bezel shields the screen from scratches, while the ergonomic grip and anti-slip texture ensure a secure, comfortable hold, even during marathon gaming sessions.

But the UB Pro is more than a fortress; it’s a testament to Weng’s belief in blending “feasibility” with a “poetic touch.” The case’s design is streamlined, hugging the console and Joy-Cons without adding unnecessary bulk. Constructed from German Bayer polycarbonate, the material resists yellowing, dust, and fingerprints, maintaining its clarity and premium feel over time. It’s a case that looks good, feels good, and performs even better.

Anyone who owned the original Switch knows the frustration of removing a case every time you wanted to dock and play on the big screen. The first-ever person to attempt solving this problem, Weng addressed this pain point head-on with SUPCASE’s original dockable Switch case; a product that was a first of its kind and quickly became a gamer favorite. He recalls, “The biggest challenge was making sure the case didn’t interfere with the Switch’s connection to the dock.” The team went through countless prototypes, tweaking dimensions and internal structures until they achieved a perfect fit. This dedication to solving real-world problems is what elevates SUPCASE’s designs above the competition.

Jet Weng

Weng doesn’t just design cases; he designs experiences. He starts by analyzing user pain points, then collaborates with his team to brainstorm creative, yet feasible solutions. He understands that good design is subjective, depending on the product’s purpose. “For example, with a repair tool, function is always the top priority; but for something like a lipstick case, form may take precedence,” he explains. For the UB Pro, function and form are in perfect harmony; protection and ergonomics blend seamlessly with aesthetics.

The motor delivers an impressive 750 watts of peak power through direct contact with your rear tire, allowing you to enjoy max cruise speeds of up to 20 mph (for the US, with peak power adjusted accordingly to meet EU and UK regulations). This friction-drive system means no wheel rebuilds or complex installations, just smooth, quiet assistance that kicks in exactly when you want it. The Pressure-Adaptive Technology automatically adjusts contact pressure for consistent performance whether you’re climbing steep grades or cruising on flat roads.

Assist Mode

Cruise Mode

Standby Mode

Three distinct riding modes give you complete control over your experience. Standby mode lets you ride naturally without any motor intervention, perfect for those days when you want the pure cycling experience. Assist mode provides intelligent pedal assistance that amplifies your effort while keeping you actively engaged. Cruise mode takes over completely, giving your legs a break when you need it most.

Switching between these modes happens instantly while you’re riding, thanks to the system’s innovative intelligent motor management. The transitions feel completely natural, with the motor adjusting gradually to maintain smooth power delivery. You can go from full electric assistance to natural pedaling without stopping or fumbling with controls, making every ride perfectly tailored to your energy level and terrain.

The 266Wh capacity battery is seriously impressive, using 16 automotive-grade 21700 cells, the same kind used in electric vehicles, for reliable energy output that delivers over 90 kilometers of range in assist mode. Magnetic charging gets you back on the road in 3 hours, while the built-in USB port keeps your devices powered during longer adventures. Regenerative braking even captures energy while you slow down, extending your range naturally.

Automatic Fall Detection

Safety features are built into every aspect of the system. Tilt detection instantly cuts power if your bike tips beyond safe 45-degree angles. IP66 weather sealing protects against rain and dust. Kamingo can also detect small debris like rocks and twigs on the wheel and automatically disengages the motor before they become a problem. The ultra-quiet operation stays below 56 decibels, making it nearly silent during use. Finally, remote Bluetooth locking adds security when you’re away from your bike. And because the motor is so lightweight at 0.9kg, almost as light as a MacBook, you can even take the motor with you in case you can’t safely leave it on your bike.

Perhaps the best part is how the Kamingo preserves what makes cycling great while eliminating the barriers that might keep you off your bike. Joint strain decreases, hills become manageable, and longer distances feel achievable. You’re still pedaling and still getting exercise, but now you have the backup power to extend your adventures without exhausting yourself.

The system disappears into your bike’s design, maintaining the clean aesthetic you love while adding transformative capability. When you don’t need the motor, it pops off in seconds and fits in your backpack. Your bike returns to its original form, ready for whatever type of ride calls to you next. While others shell out thousands for heavy e-bikes they’ll eventually outgrow, you get the same 750W performance, keep your perfect bike, and save enough money for your next cycling adventure with the innovative Kamingo e-bike converter.

Liquid Glass – the tech world’s abuzz with this new term from Apple’s design playbook following their reveal of the new slew of operating systems at WWDC 2025. What is liquid glass? Well, it’s a multi-tier strategy on Apple’s part to redefine interfaces, moving away from the minimalist elements to introduce gorgeously refractive glass-like modules instead. These glass elements interact with screen elements by bending light like real glass would. Think of holding a magnifying glass to a newspaper to watch the text around the edges warp while the center stays clear.

There’s speculation that this move towards glass-based interfaces was a conscious effort to further Apple’s spatial interface goals… but to be honest, we were in love with Liquid Glass back as early as 2021. What do I mean? Well, I’m talking about the NightWatch, an Apple Watch dock from 4 years ago that did exactly what Liquid Glass did, amplify the watch’s screen into a gorgeous liquid orb while your watch was charging!

Designer: NightWatch

The NightWatch, as its name so succinctly implies, is a dock for your watch while it charges overnight. Shaped like a massive orb, this dock turns your watch’s night-time charging face into a massive, magnified alarm clock that’s easier to see. Moreover, the dock amplifies the watch’s audio too (through clever design details), transforming your Watch into a makeshift alarm clock that works remarkably well.

There’s no hidden components, no inner trickery – the entire NightWatch is a cleverly designed, solid piece of lucite that does three things remarkably well. First, it docks the Apple Watch and charger inside it, magnifying the watch screen so the numbers are clearly legible even from a couple of feet away. Secondly, channels located strategically under the Watch’s speaker units amplify the sound (sort of like how your voice is louder when you cup your hands around your mouth) so your alarm rings louder. Thirdly (and this might be the best feature yet), the lucite orb is touch-sensitive. Which means a mere tap on the surface causes your Watch screen to wake so you can see the time!

The dock may have been designed in 2021, but its design philosophies align with Apple’s Liquid Glass push brilliantly. Liquid Glass is all about mimicking real-world materials, bringing physicality to the digital world while still maintaining a pristine aesthetic that boosts focus and highlights important elements. That’s exactly what the NightWatch does too – it takes the Watch’s flat digital interface and brings real-world physicality to it through the refraction and magnification of the clear lucite. It also helps easily highlight important elements by enlarging your watch face for clearer timekeeping. The NightWatch is compatible with all Apple Watch series (as long as your watch doesn’t have a case on it).

Titanium brings some serious advantages to the table that make it worth the investment. Unlike traditional stainless steel options, titanium offers natural resistance to rust and corrosion, so your knife stays sharp and reliable whether you’re working in humid conditions, caught in unexpected rain, or dealing with extreme temperatures. This means your tool performs consistently regardless of what Mother Nature throws your way.

The real genius of the Ezsharp 2.0 lies in its dual-blade storage system. Instead of carrying multiple cutting tools or constantly searching for the right blade, you can swap between different scalpel blade types depending on your task. Need precision for detailed work? Switch to a fine-point blade. Tackling heavy-duty cutting? Pop in a robust utility blade and get to work.

This innovative storage design uses powerful magnets to secure blades in both the active position and the backup compartment. The magnetic retention system ensures your blades stay exactly where they should be, eliminating the wobble and play that plague cheaper alternatives. You can trust that your cutting edge will be stable and precise when you need it most.

The engineering extends beyond just storage, though. The Ezsharp 2.0 accepts six different scalpel blade formats, including #18, #20, #21, #22, #23, and #24. This compatibility gives you access to specialized blade geometries for everything from cardboard breakdown to precision crafting. Having options means you can tackle any cutting challenge without compromise.

Craftsmen will appreciate the attention to detail in the construction. Every component except the replaceable blades comes from precision CNC machining, ensuring tight tolerances and smooth operation. The stainless steel blade holder receives proper heat treatment for longevity, while the frame lock mechanism provides a secure lockup that you can depend on during demanding tasks.

The flipper opening system makes one-handed deployment effortless, perfect when your other hand is busy holding materials or managing your workspace. This practical design consideration shows that the makers understand how working professionals actually use their tools. You shouldn’t have to fumble with complicated mechanisms when time matters and precision counts.

For EDC enthusiasts, the compact profile means the Ezsharp 2.0 disappears in your pocket without printing or creating uncomfortable bulk. The titanium construction keeps the weight down to levels that won’t throw off your carry balance, yet provides the strength to handle serious cutting tasks when called upon.

The combination of premium materials, thoughtful engineering, and practical functionality makes the Ezsharp 2.0 stand out in a crowded market. This folding knife represents what happens when designers listen to users and create solutions for real-world problems. Whether you’re a professional who depends on reliable tools or an enthusiast who appreciates quality gear, the Ezsharp 2.0 delivers performance that justifies its place in your everyday carry rotation.

Every tech enthusiast has felt this particular sting: you’ve got the latest laptop, the best wireless earbuds, and a phone that practically runs AI models locally – but the charger in your backpack is a mess of tangled cords and mismatched power bricks. Universal charging promised salvation years ago, but the clutter persists, hidden behind claims of fast charging speeds and vague wattage labels. Enter Voltix, the charger that’s bringing both clarity and serious wattage to the tech landscape.

If you’ve heard tech bloggers nerding out about gallium nitride (GaN) lately, there’s good reason. GaN isn’t merely marketing hype; it’s a legit leap forward from traditional silicon, allowing chargers to be smaller, cooler, and massively more efficient. By swapping silicon transistors for GaN, devices can handle higher wattage in tighter spaces without overheating. The practical upshot? Chargers that are less than half the size while being nearly 5x as powerful.

Designer: Voltix

Click Here to Buy Now: $79 $119 (34% off)  Hurry! Only 14 days left.

Voltix capitalizes brilliantly on GaN’s potential, packing a hefty 180 watts into a surprisingly compact form factor. To put that number into perspective, that’s more than enough juice to simultaneously fast-charge two high-powered laptops, a smartphone, earbuds, and still have energy left over for a drone battery.

The Voltix lets you charge a staggering 7 devices simultaneously. Six USB ports on the front let you juice everything from your laptop to your smartwatch to even that Nintendo Switch 2 you just bought. Meanwhile, the real-estate on the top of the Voltix gets turned into a Qi2 wireless charger, allowing you to snap your phone in place and have it charge at a cool 15W.

The beauty of GaN chargers is that they take the guesswork out of charging. There’s enough power to charge all your devices, and there’s enough brains inside the charger to know which device gets how much power. The Voltix intuitively knows that your laptop needs more power than your tablet. And your phone needs more power than your TWS earbuds. It manages the power deliver intuitively, distributing the 180W equitably to all your devices.

But what genuinely makes Voltix stand apart is its integrated OLED display. For once, you aren’t left guessing whether your MacBook’s slower charge is due to cable or device – it tells you directly. Each of Voltix’s six ports has its own real-time readout, displaying exactly how many watts flow to your connected gadgets. This is transparency we rarely see in power adapters, giving users control and insight into how each device charges. It’s almost addictive to watch how power dynamically reallocates as new devices are connected and disconnected.

On top, literally, Voltix adds another convenience: a 15-watt Qi2 wireless charging pad. Relying on the new Qi2 standard, this allows you to magnetically snap any Qi2-compatible phone to the top of the Voltix and have it click in place like MagSafe. Yes, it works with MagSafe too, allowing you to snap your phone without worrying about alignment… and sure, it works with Qi1 phones too – just without that magnetic snapping feature. Just because this is the future of charging doesn’t mean it alienates yesterday’s tech.

The GaN internals mean it can consistently deliver high wattage without excessive heat buildup. Voltix smartly balances load distribution in real-time, protecting your devices by throttling power only when necessary, and never blindly cutting power altogether. It’s intelligent enough to identify faulty cables and questionable connections, helping you diagnose charging issues at a glance.

Meanwhile, Voltix’s design pays attention to detail in a way that makes the industrial designer in me super happy. Its column-like form comes with a vacuum-pad base that locks it in place so it doesn’t shift around while plugging/unplugging cables, or docking/undocking your phone. A circular OLED display on the front clearly gives you the information you need, with a simple two-button interface allowing you to cycle between power output display and a 12/24-hour clock (which felt like a surprising easter egg, to be honest). Between those two buttons sits the Voltix’s power button – press to switch on, press again to switch off. Easy-peasy.

However, here’s the broader takeaway: Voltix isn’t reinventing chargers; it’s perfecting them. The idea of “one charger to rule them all” has floated around for years, but Voltix makes good on that concept by actually doing it in practice. I personally use a 160W GaN charger while traveling, and I can’t begin to tell you how great it is to not have to carry that disgustingly bulky laptop charger around with me. My 160W charger packs 4 ports, and can charge all my devices just fine… but the Voltix does what all products do – improve on existing designs. The ability to charge 7 devices (as opposed to 4) and monitor the power delivery for each one of them feels nothing short of magic.

At $119 retail (with early Kickstarter pricing starting at $79), Voltix isn’t the cheapest charger on the market. But considering it replaces 5-7 separate chargers while providing features none of them offer, the value proposition becomes clear. For anyone juggling multiple devices or who simply appreciates thoughtful design and transparency in their tech, this is the charger you’ve been waiting for.

The modern desk setup has become a shape-shifting, cross-platform hybrid jungle. You could be dialing into a Zoom call from your kitchen one hour, then editing a podcast in a café, or debugging code in a coworking space the next. Laptops give us that freedom. But they also rob us of screen real estate. That’s the pain point JSAUX is betting on with the FlipGo Horizon – a portable tri-screen rig that turns your laptop into a Swiss Army Knife of displays and hyper-productivity.

In its most compact form, FlipGo Horizon is a tidy slab of aluminum and glass no thicker than a hardcover book. But unfold the Snap Stand, magnetically attach two 15.6-inch panels on either side of your laptop, and you’re suddenly surrounded by a panoramic digital workspace. The system pivots between work and play, creator and coder, remote warrior and weekend traveler… and with a $359 starting price tag that sort of feels unbelievable for what it provides.

The Snap Stand is where this portability meets structure. The Standard version is the minimalist pick. It’s a passive stand that simply holds the screens in position and routes video from your laptop through two separate cables. There’s no hub built in, so you’ll need dual USB-C video outputs (or Mini HDMI plus USB-C for power) to make it work. macOS, Windows, and Linux users are all supported, but only if your machine can deliver dual external video signals. That rules out most base MacBooks or Windows machines with limited output bandwidth.

The Snap Stand Pro, on the other hand, acts like the brains of the operation. It’s not just a bracket. It has a built-in hub with two USB-C Gen2 10 Gbps ports for display input, three USB 3.1 ports for peripherals, a Gigabit Ethernet jack, and dual USB-C PD inputs that can either power the system or reverse charge your laptop. In plain terms: with the Pro, your laptop can run all three screens, stay charged, and connect to hard drives or wired internet, all through a single USB-C cable, assuming your device supports it. This version skips Linux support for now, but runs smoothly on all M-Series Macs and modern Windows laptops with USB-C DP Alt Mode.

The screens themselves are 15.6-inch IPS panels with a resolution of 1920×1080, 300 nits brightness, and 100% sRGB color gamut. They’re not retina-grade, nor are they HDR, but they are purpose-built for productivity. The screens have two USB-C ports and a Mini HDMI input, which gives you flexibility depending on your laptop’s video out situation. They’re 12mm thick – perfectly portable with most roomy laptop bags. And they support reverse charging, so if needed, they can send power back to your laptop.

But the FlipGo Horizon ecosystem goes well beyond screens on hinges. Its different operating modes are tailored to specific types of users… and if you’ve ever tried juggling spreadsheets, a Zoom call, and an email inbox on a single screen, you’ll immediately understand the appeal.

Horizon Mode is the headline act. With all three displays mounted, you get a panoramic workflow: maybe Slack on the left, Premiere Pro in the middle, and reference visuals on the right. It’s especially potent for editors, engineers, or financial analysts who constantly swap between windows. You can also rotate the side panels into vertical mode for coding or document work. This transforms your workspace from a screen-limited laptop into a control center that travels with you.

Stack Mode is simpler but just as clever. It lets you mount one screen vertically above the other – a godsend for developers reading logs, writers referencing outlines, or data workers working through tall spreadsheets. It eliminates tab switching and adds that second layer of context above your main screen.

Solo Mode is perfect for travelers or hybrid workers. Attach just one Snap Screen and use it as a second display on a flight, in a hotel, or at a coffee shop. No awkward dual-monitor arms or need for a power outlet, as long as your laptop’s USB-C port delivers enough juice.

Then there’s the SnapMag ecosystem – magnets along the Snap Stand that let you attach accessories like an iPhone, an iPad, a webcam light, or even a future custom module. This transforms FlipGo from a display rig into a personalized workstation platform. Creators can mount a reference iPad on one side and a ring light on the other. Business users can snap their phone for hands-free calls.

To be clear, there are limitations, albeit minor ones. These are still 60 Hz displays with 300 nits brightness. In bright sunlight or for color-critical work, they may not suffice. And even with the Pro stand, there’s no internal battery, so you’ll need wall power to keep things running for long. But within those bounds, FlipGo Horizon delivers a level of flexibility and elegance that’s rare in multi-monitor setups.

The real genius is in the modularity. You don’t have to use all three screens every time. You can travel light with one panel, go full Horizon at your desk, or stack two vertically depending on your task. It morphs with your workflow rather than forcing you into rigid configurations. And all of it folds up into a package that fits in your backpack, slots neatly beside your laptop, and doesn’t require a degree in cable management to set up. Quite impressive for something that doubles your laptop’s displays for half the price of a laptop.

Another drone? They’re everywhere, right? Like pigeons with cameras, buzzing around and capturing the world from above. But amidst this aerial swarm, the Ruko U11MINI 4K aims for something different. Forget the specs war and the pro-grade features; this drone is about accessibility. It’s about putting a bird’s-eye view within reach of anyone, like swapping a bulky telescope for a pocket-sized pair of binoculars.

Think of it as the ‘gateway drone.’ We’re living in an age where capturing stunning visuals is practically a birthright. Drones, once the domain of tech obsessives and Hollywood cinematographers, are now inching closer to everyday usability. The U11MINI 4K’s key trick? It shrinks the barrier to entry, not just with price but with a compact, foldable design. Its sub-249-gram weight and $280 price tag (for the single-battery starter bundle) are the magic numbers, sidestepping registration hassles in many countries while providing a 4K eye in the sky that doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket.

The U11MINI 4K features a 48MP 1/2″ CMOS sensor, promising 8K stills and 4K/30fps video. These are the baseline specs, and real-world performance is dependent on lighting conditions. It performs best in ample sunlight. The video and photo quality are appropriate for memory-capturing, location-scouting, and recreational enjoyment of aerial views. It’s the difference between a studio portrait and a candid shot – both have their place.

A 3-axis gimbal works alongside EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization). This combination provides a level of stability beneficial for smoother footage. While not matching the performance of higher-end drones, it notably improves video quality compared to no stabilization. Think of it as training wheels for aerial videography.

Flight time is always a consideration with drones. Ruko advertises up to 32 minutes per battery, totaling 96 minutes with the included trio. The $280 kit gives you a drone with a single battery, but upgrade to the $399 version and you get a 3-battery setup, which gives your flying camera more ‘air time’.

Beyond just wind resistance, the U11MINI 4K incorporates multiple systems to ensure safe and stable flight. The Level 5 wind resistance (up to 18 mph) is bolstered by an AI-powered takeoff and landing system. This system uses GPS, a barometric altitude hold, optical flow, and Time-of-Flight (TOF) positioning to manage smooth takeoffs and landings. The combination of these technologies provides a stable flight experience, even for beginners. Additionally, Ruko includes a beginner-friendly app. GPS-powered features like Return-to-Home (RTH), Follow-me Mode, and Waypoint Flight add an extra layer of security and creative potential.

The drone market has many competitors, with models like the DJI Mini series and Holy Stone HS720 offering alternatives in the compact drone category. DJI has established a benchmark for image quality and features in this segment… but nothing in the budget-friendly price spectrum of the U11MINI 4K. Priced in the $280-$399 range (depending on the battery bundle), the U11MINI 4K positions itself as a competitively priced option. This makes it an attractive option for those dipping their toes into aerial photography without emptying their wallets.

So, who is the Ruko U11MINI 4K for? It’s for the curious, the casual creators, the weekend adventurers. It’s for anyone who wants to explore the world from a different perspective, without getting bogged down in technical complexities or financial burdens. The U11MINI 4K focuses on accessibility and ease of use, making it a solid entry point into the world of drones. It’s not some pro-grade state-of-the-art aerial cinematic machine made for Hollywood, but it might just be the perfect first step for budding drone enthusiasts looking to buy their first 4K quadcopter.

I legitimately gasped when I saw this appliance in my news feed. Yes, waffles are just pancakes optimized for better surface area and pockets to carry butter or syrup… but what if the waffle weren’t flat? What if it were bowl-shaped? Just imagine not having to precariously balance whipped cream and berries on top of a stack of waffles when you could just put the toppings INSIDE the waffle?

Sounds revolutionary, and something most dudes would absolutely love. Yes, I know Father’s Day is just around the corner, but Bro Love is permanent; so in case you’re looking to self-pamper, or gift this to a dad (or even a non-dad) in your life, this might just be the only acceptable way to eat waffles from now on.

I can’t begin to tell you how much my mind is blown. Here’s a small nugget of information for people who don’t know me – I love food, I love gadgets, and I love creativity. The Presto Waffle Bowl Maker scratches every one of those itches PERFECTLY. Ladle your batter in, shut the lid, wait for a bit, and you’ve got a literal edible bowl made of waffle batter. The bowl measures 4-inches wide, making it perfect for breakfast or even snacks.

The possibilities are dizzying if you think about it. Imagine filling your waffle bowl with fruits and syrup for a nice breakfast. Or a thick soup for an impromptu meal. Chuck salsa, ranch, or guac in and you’ve got a perfect dipping bowl for all sorts of condiments. Heck, even hummus works in a pinch. Not a savory or brekkie person? Heck, load it up with scoops of ice cream. Chuck some Maltesers in. Maybe popcorn.

The best part of the experience is that there’s no cleanup afterwards. The bowl is literally the dessert once you’re done with your meal. Keep a jar of Nutella or Cool Whip handy and just break off parts of your bowl and eat them once you’re done. The perfect way to end a meal… and no loading the dishwasher either. I’m thoroughly impressed.
