The Best Tough Camera Gets Better

The Best Tough Camera Gets Better

What can survive 50 feet underwater, 220 pounds of crushing pressure, 7 foot drops, and 14° F? Not just any camera, that’s what Olympus Stylus Tough TG-4. The previous camera in the Tough series was among the best of the waterproof, rugged, point-and-shoot category of cameras. The new TG-4 ups the game with a bunch of improvements, including RAW shooting, WiFi and GPS built-in, Compass, 10 frame burst mode, and more. With the WiFi you can quickly transfer your photos directly to your smartphone. This would be a great addition to your toolbox for taking some great before and after shots without worrying about messing up your camera. All this for under $400.

Leatherman Wearable Multitool

Leatherman Wearable Multitool

Forget fitness trackers and “smart” watches, this tool is the perfect blend of style and substance. The Leatherman Tread is a wearable multitool with more between 20 and 25 tools, depending on which configuration you choose. This convenience doesn’t come cheap though, going from $150-200 for the Tread and bumped up to $500-600 for the Tread QM1 (adds a quartz watch into the mix). Both versions come in either Stainless Steel and Black DLC (diamond-like carbon).
