TO RULE
THEM ALL
GET THIS: Ringtool.
READY FOR: Pretty much every screw you’ll
encounter in the field. This nifty ring has nine
different functions altogether, including a
bottlecap opener, 3mm to 8mm hexheads, a
flathead driver, a Phillips driver,
and more. Useful for every handyman
and #1 dad out there.
THE BEST PART: It’s only approximately 5cm
long, and is virtually weightless in design. Clip
it to your keys, bag or phone, and you’ll be
carrying arguably one of the most portable
multi-tool kits ever created. Just be
sure you don’t lose it.
COST: US$28 (or $39), http://www.reductivist.com.

STEADY SHOTS
GET THIS: Steadicam Volt.
READY FOR: Any shot you want
to take with your smartphone
that requires top-notch dynamic
stabilisation. The Steadicam Volt is
a portable variation of the original
camera stabiliser tool Steadicam, but
still has many of its awesome features.
Using haptic feedback to simulate
inertia, the stabiliser makes both slow
panning shots and quick-flick ones
seem so smooth and effortless. It also
allows for two stabiliser modes: movie
mode for the slow dramatic shots, and
sports mode for catching the fastest,
crowd-roaring goals.
THE BEST PART: It’s foldable,
ergonomic and extremely
lightweight – perfect for travellers
who want a portable stabiliser to film
the best cinematic travel logs.
COST: US$200 (or $280), http://www.kck.
