Just when you thought the world of photography couldn’t throw up any more incredible innovations, along comes a tripod that makes conventional three-legged supports seem as practical as telescopic turnips.
The Gorillapod might sound like some kind of simian seedling, and it looks like one of those thingies from War of the Worlds, but it is actually an amazingly flexible little tripod that will support your camera virtually anywhere.
Forget wheelies, no-hands and bunny-hops; riding a bicycle is about staying safe and being seen. That’s why it’s vital to signal when turning. The trouble is you need to take your hand off the handlebars, stick it out and risk high-fiving a lamp post, walloping a wing mirror or face-slapping a pedestrian. That’s why you need Bicygnals.
These ingenious bicycle lights feature wireless indicators that can be operated with a flick of the thumb - no frantic arm-waving required. Brilliant! Wireless technology enables both front and rear indicators to work in perfect sync. Simply slide each sleek light cluster onto the adjustable clamps and you’re away.
Backpacking around the globe is all well and good but safety should always come first. In fact safety should be your number one priority on any kind of trip, whether you’re camping, hiking, boating or mountaineering. (Of course mountaineers are into Firebox).
That’s why we believe the ingenious 3-in-1 FlareSafe is destined to become an essential travelling companion for all you safety-conscious, off-the-beaten-track-types. Because as well as functioning as a powerful LED torch, this revolutionary device is also an optical smoke detector and a distress alarm. Clever, eh?
The FlareSafe’s torch comprises four ultra-bright, long-life LEDs and boasts three settings: full beam, half beam (for reading) and an SOS strobe beam. With its focused 20m beam and 2km rescue visibility, the FlareSafe is the only torch you’ll ever need. It’s brilliant. Literally.
Most fold-up bikes are about as portable as lead cement mixers. What’s more you normally need a degree in engineering to collapse and assemble the unwieldy mass of metal tubing. And then there are all those oily parts to contend with. It’s enough to make you give up on the whole fold-up bike concept.
And give up is exactly what we had done until one of our product scouts rolled into Firebox HQ on an A-bike. This revolutionary transportation-system (okay, fold-up bike) is being hailed as the answer to all your short-hop journey dilemmas as it is the world’s first truly portable, commuter-friendly bicycle.
Perfect for getting out and about!
Weighing in at a mere 5.7kg, the meticulously-engineered A-bike has been specifically created for short-hop journeys - to the station, the shops, the gym, the cinema, or anywhere else that you need to get to pronto.
