Hiking trailer - Monowalker FatmatCars and bicycles have trailers, so why not bushwalkers? Bushwalking trailers are not a new idea, the concept has been around for a while, but this more interesting. In some situations where this makes a lot of sense. A FatMate is suitable only on smooth tracks. The disk brake would be very handy on steeper downhill tracks. The trailer weighs 9 kilograms and costs about $A1100 plus delivery.

Mobile phone and tablet macro and micro lens - BlipsBlips is a tiny lens that sticks to your phone or tablet, turning it into a microscope. See the world closer up. Want to get those macro shots but don't want to carry a full SLR? Obviously more expensive gear and better lighting will get you clearer images, but you should be able to get great images for a lower price and weight.
