Redshift has created the ShockStop ($139 & Up) suspension seat! The ShockStop is an adjustable-stiffness suspension seatpost that will dramatically improve your ride by smoothing out the road. It is equally suited for an epic gravel adventure or just dealing with potholes on your daily commute. You can even adjust the spring rate and pre-load to match your specific riding style.

The ShockStop Seatpost suspends your body, isolating you from the imperfections of the road and trail. We optimized the travel and suspension kinematics to provide a plush, bottomless feel.





The ShockStop has an internal spring which applies force on the seatpost's four-bar linkage, which in turn suspends the saddle and rider. As you ride, the seatpost allows the bike to move under you as it encounters uneven terrain, which reduces the accumulated effects of bumps and vibrations by up to 60%. The four-bar linkage ensures that your saddle angle remains constant through the full travel of the suspension.



The ShockStop Seatpost will fit any bike that has a round seatpost 27.2mm in diameter or greater (the vast majority of bikes). If your bike has a seatpost that is larger than 27.2mm in diameter, inexpensive shims can be used to make it fit perfectly.

The EverCam is what I would be looking for in a security camera. It takes the headache out of the others in the industry as far as battery life, complex setups, mounting and so on. EverCam was designed from the ground up to offer wireless freedom. The EverCam's 13,400 mAh Li-ion battery is claimed to be good for 365 days per charge, or 3 years in stand-by mode, with Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 allowing the battery to be juiced up in less than 3 hours.

The security camera wirelessly transmits data to the system's HomeBase hub over Wi-Fi, which also rocks a 5,200 mAh battery so that it can continue to operate for up to a week in the event of an outage.



When the EverCam system's motion detectors register movement, the EverCam uses AI-enhanced facial recognition technology to recognize family, friends and regular visitors who pass in front of the 140-degree, F2.2 lens and determine who is a stranger. Two-way audio also allows users to interrogate visitors such as delivery drivers or service people without opening the front door.

The IP66 weatherproof security camera can be strategically positioned using mounts designed to deter would-be pilferers, but if determined thieves do manage to make off with an EverCam, it will "brick itself to prevent it from being hacked or used by someone else."



The hub comes with a 16GB microSD media card (can be optionally expanded up to 128 GB) for storing AES-128 encrypted Full HD recorded footage, including anything captured with the camera's night vision mode. And if home-based storage isn't enough, eufy is offering cloud storage for US$2.99 per month, per camera. Recorded footage can only be accessed using the EverCam iOS/Android/browser app, which makes use of AES-256 security for login.





The EverCam Kickstarter campaign has already exceeds the needed pledges. Pledges currently start at $219 for a camera, hub, entry sensor, magnetic and screw mount, cables and microSD card. And if all goes to plan, expected to ship to backers in September 2018. Watch the video below for more information or check out EverCam Kickstarter.

Details are limited, but you can expect a that it will have all the Sonic games, a rewind feature like the previous Flashback model, and maybe a cartridge slot, although the latter is still TBD. Arriving later this year.

Truly wireless earphones are becoming the norm, but if you would rather have something sleek and sophisticated as opposed those iPhone white ear dongles, the E8 earphones from Bang & Olufsen ($299) are your choice. Made with premium materials like leather, aluminum, stainless steel in stealth black, the earphones have captured the attention to detail you expect from this brand, with features including a Digital Signal Processor that lets you adjust the EQ and gain from within an app, a built-in microphone for taking calls, and an adjustable Transparency Mode that lets you hear the world around you with a simple tap. The rechargeable earphones offer a playtime of four hours, with an extra eight provided by the leather, micro USB charging case. They come in 4 different color styles to choose from.
