Say hello to the HERO4 Session, GoPro’s smallest, most portable and affordable camera yet. The HERO4 Session captures video in 1080p/60, 720p/100 and 1440p/30 along with eight megapixel photos in Single, Burst and Time Lapse modes.

The Session is built to be just as rugged as its predecessors, but it is even easier to use.  A short press of the shutter button quickly powers the camera on and video recording begins automatically. A long press of the shutter button powers the camera on and triggers Time Lapse photo capture. Press the shutter button again to save video or photo content and power the camera off. This simple one button design drastically improves the speed and convenience of capturing life moments as they happen.

Throw this camera in your pocket and bring it anywhere! We love it for it’s super small build and easy to use functionality. This is the perfect addition to any adventure seekers kit.

Small, compact and truly stylish, the Bose SoundLink Mini is a wonderful piece of tech for audiophiles. This Bluetooth speaker is rather small, but packs a punch! The dynamic acoustics that the SounLink Mini delivers will filll a room and was something we didn’t quite expect from a system so small. The bass is immersive and the mids and highs carry to create a very full range.

The build quality is off the charts as well. The speaker is small, like we said, but it’s pretty hefty too and has a superior feel to it. No chintzy plastic here. At neatly $200 this speaker is well worth the price. It’s our go to speaker in the office. It’s hard to beat Bose’s acoustics.

With all the features the Yuneec was able to pack in the Typhoon Q500 4K, We’re happy to say this is a great value for those looking to make their first quality quadcopter purchase, or for those looking to add another one to their arsenal.  Overall, we were very pleased with the Typhoon Q500 4K.  Although it lacks some features such as waypoints, video playback, and slow flight with GPS enabled, for the features it does have and the retail price of $1449 or $1299 with the color box and one less battery – it is one of the best bang for your buck quadcopter available.

With a quicker autofocus than a DSLR (world’s quickest), the a6000 shoots 24mp photos and is super portable, while retaining interchangable lens functionality, manual controls and an OLED Tru-Finder. Offered in 3 colors, the a6000 features an ASP-C size sensor that offers 1/6 times the area of Micro 4/3 sensors and 13x the sensor size of typical compact digital cameras. Able to shoot up to 25,600 ISO, this cam shoots amazing low-light photos and comes with the BIONZ X image processor to ensure images are of the highest quality.

The a6000 has quickly become the go-to camera around the BW offices. It’s user friendly interface and ultra quick focus makes handling a traditional DSLR seem like a time consuming affair. Not to mention it is small and very easy to pack. The best part is that you don’t even have to be a seasoned photographer to shoot stunning photos with this camera. We’ve taken it on several press trips and the images that the a6000 produced are amazing.

One upgrade you might want to look into is an aftermarket lens. While the Sony factory lens is pretty great, ZEISS makes a slew of amazing options to totally trick out the a6000.

The MegaBoom is the successor to the well received UE Boom. As you might expect it’s bigger, louder, and has a better battery life than the regular Boom because MEGA. Logitech, the parent company of Ultimate Ears has always been known for higher quality audio products than you’d typically expect in the value price range. When Logitech purchased Ultimate Ears, it maintained the brand as a luxury line of sorts for people looking for a higher level of quality in their audio products – even for portable Bluetooth speakers.

The UE MegaBoom is awesome. We have reviewed literally dozens of Bluetooth speakers over the years and this is by far the best we’ve ever tested. At $299 it’s an expensive option in a sea of cheap junk. If you value a good sounding speaker though, this is the best portable Bluetooth speaker you can buy right now at any price in our humble opinion.

There’s nothing worse than when your phone is on its final sliver of battery life. Typically no one has a charger with them or if you do, it is the most inconvenient set up to try to charge your phone let alone if you even have the time. We’ve all been there, and it always seems to happen at the worst moment possible. This is where the Mophie Space Pack comes in handy. With the flip of a switch, your phone will get up to a 100% (iPhone 6S) or 50% (iPhone 6S Plus) charge while you continue on with your plans. No need to stop what you are doing and try to find a power source.

Bottom line, the Mophie Space pack does hold its value. While it may be a bit heavy in comparison to the iPhone itself without a case, the functionality of the case would leave that to be expected. It is also rather thin for being a battery+storage case. In addition, our tests showed that the case can charge your iPhone 6S Plus battery to 60%+ if switched into power save mode.

The Oxx Coffeeboxx has a MSRP of $249.99 but can often be found for around and even under the $200 mark after shopping around a little.  At that price, it is right on par with other top of the line single serve coffee brewers, but none will compare when it comes to portability and durability.  While the neon green Coffeeboxx may look a little funny sitting on your countertop at home, we would say this is a must have for anyone who truly enjoys coffee while working on job sites, RV camping, car camping, hunting or tailgating.

The newest innovation from Old Town comes in the form of a 13ft, 92lbs, Minn Kota powered, beast of a kayak they’ve dubbed the Predator XL. This kayak is for serious anglers who want to spend less time paddling, more time fishing and impressing the hell out of every other angler on the water.

That’s right, this kayak is powered by a Minn Kota trolling motor. With 45lbs of thrust and foot-controlled rudder system you can cover a lot of water without ever having to paddle. When paired with a deep cell marine battery (not included), the Minn Kota motor is good for a whole day of fishing. If you’re worried about running low on juice, there’s no guess work either. They’ve even included a battery life indicator so you always know how much battery is left. In the worse case you can always paddle your butt home.

Ready for some sticker shock? Go ahead and sit down… alright… okay, here we go – the Predator XL Minn Kota tops the Busted Wallet charts at a whopping $2,699.99. Sure there are less expensive angler kayaks on the market, and believe it or not, there are much more expensive kayaks too. Yeah, $2,699.99 that’s a lot of money, there’s no debating it, but after testing this bad boy ourselves we’re happy to say, if you have the extra cash laying around this boat is well worth the asking price.

Utilizing FlyBeam reinforced hollow cavity-back technology in the long irons (3, 4, 5, 6, 7) Nike was able to maximize energy return and off-center stability. While on the short irons (8, 9, P, A, SW) a RZN cavity-back was used to promote stability and feedback.

The Vapor Speed irons also have great balance and feel to them. I always find it difficult to explain “feel” to others, because it’s a truly unique thing for most people, but these irons exude confidence. They feel well balanced and offer very nice feedback on flushed strikes as well as mishits.

If you’re a golfer who’s looking for a for more distance out of your irons (and aren’t we all?), these are a set to consider!

When we laced up our FootJoy emPower golf shoes for the first time, we were delighted with the lightweight comfort.  They felt more like a running shoe then the golf shoes we’d experienced in the past. The shoes are so comfortable (and stylish), that we had no qualms about wearing them to the bar for post-round drinks.

They are roomy and breathable, and we actually forgot we were wearing them.  That leaves your mind completely free and able to focus on keeping head down, watching the ball, following through, yada yada yada…  Did we drive the ball long and straight every time?  Not a chance, but no shoe in the world could change that.

Ringing in at $135, the FootJoy emPower’s are a solid investment and a worthy addition to any women’s golf arsenal.  With FootJoy you can be sure that the shoes are going to last, plus the emPower’s give you some extra bells and whistles in the form of BreathEasy Sport Mesh and Every-Step™ Comfort foam, that you won’t find with other shoes.

Shoes are your foundation.  They literally support your entire frame.  They receive and distribute the force of impact as your every step collides with the ground.  A good pair of shoes can be the difference between back pain and a great sleep; inflamed and healthy joints, a drug free day or a couple Ibuprofen. This is particularly true for running shoes.

Designed to give you high levels of stability while staying extremely light and breathable, the New Balance 860v5‘s are built for the long haul.

Overall, these running shoes look and feel great. They are a quality blend of comfort and performance, with cushioning to spare.

When tackling any off-road challenge in a true all-mountain experience, it’s all about being prepared with gear that’ll give you ultimate confidence, comfort, and performance.  With the all-new Super 2R you get two helmets in one, to help conquer a wider range of terrain.  With the chin-bar on, you get that added protection when riding the steep side of the mountain or hitting those monster jumps.  When you just want to cruise the flats or bike to town you can easily remove the chin-bar with just 3 clicks (no tools needed).  Simply open the rear buckle, then both side buckles and pull the chin-bar away from the helmet.

After riding with this helmet for a few weeks now, we’re still impressed with the level of comfort, and appreciate the time and thought Bell spent on creating a true all-terrain mountain bike helmet that transforms to fit my needs. If you’re looking for a new helmet that’ll be sure to keep up with your all-terrain experience then we highly recommend picking up the Bell Super 2R.

The BURN 100LS was designed for the Baseliner, giving more explosive power with added Spin Technology. This racket produces the heaviest ball possible allowing you to “Burn” through the competition.  We definitely felt very comfortable from the baseline.  The power and accuracy of our serve improved dramatically.  This racket has more maneuverability and is light enough to keep a powerful swing, set after set.  The rounded hoop creates a larger contact zone for a more aggressive vertical swing.  Plus, the parallel drilling provides a more forgiving sweet spot which helped us swing with more confidence.  With the high performance carbon fiber frame, we felt a major difference in stiffness compared to our previous Wilson rackets and helped for a more explosive serve.  The X2 Shaft provides a longer handle for increased leverage on two handed backhands (definite bonus with my back hand), plus it helps for better, overall grip changes.

Not only are these golf shoes packed with Nike innovations, but they’re down right sexy and impressively comfortable right out of the box. We just received these shoes a few days ago and hardly had chance to break them in, but already they’re as comfortable as a shoe we’ve worn for 10 rounds.

Beyond the comfort, the Lunar Control 4’s are also very stable and provide excellent traction on uneven and slippery terrain. As you would imagine they’re also waterproof too which is great for early morning rounds and the occasional mishap in the water hazard.

Available in three colorways for men (black/white, white/wolf grey, white/bright crimson) and for women (black/white, white/wolf grey, pure platinum/bright crimson), the Nike Lunar Control 4 is available online and at select retailers starting on December 1st.

For over 65 years Bushnell has been the industry leader in high-performance sports optics. Bushnell’s product lines range from golf, spectator sports, nature study, hunting, fishing and birding to stargazing.  The folks at Bushnell live by a guiding principle to provide the highest quality, most reliable and affordable sports optics products on the market. Recently our friends (best friends now) at Bushnell sent us their latest creation, the Bushnell Tour X Laser Range Finder to test and review. As you can imagine (since it made our holiday gift guide list) we loved it!

Priced at $499, the Bushnell Tour X is at the top of the line when it comes to range finders. It is an all-in-one option that gives the best technology of anything you could ever ask for in a range finder. The flexability of being able to change out the faceplates to conform with USGA events makes ideal for golfers of all skill levels as it fits everyones needs. At $499 you can count on the Tour X to give you one the most accurate readings you will get with any range finder out on the market. However, do not buy the Tour X and expect an immediate improvement in your game just because you have an accurate reading, after all you still have to hit the shot. The value really comes in confidence in knowing that you are selecting the right club. You may also find out that you don’t hit clubs the distances you think you do. The Tour X will help you discover things on the course but also within your own golf game. The value the Tour X brings to the course can’t be measured in monetary form.

Having organic and natural products is great for publicity purposes, but the true test in men’s grooming products is do they actually work? Does the shave cream provide a nice, smooth shave and eliminate razor burn? Does the aftershave help irritated skin and alleviate redness? Recently we gathered the men at the Busted Wallet headquarters for a three week shaving experience to see if the Brickell grooming line was able to answer these questions and more.

Priced at $103.00, the Brickell Men’s Complete Grooming & Skincare Kit will surely cause sticker shock for those used to buying only shave cream and stealing their girlfriend’s lotion. What Brickell is providing is an all-natural product selection designed to keep your face looking and feeling great. Overall, our crew enjoyed the product offerings and noticed a difference in our skin quality and found ourselves embracing the products versus being ashamed of having a robust groming and shaving process.

Distilled with the same deliberate care as the original, Angel’s Envy Rye utilizes a carefully selected blend of Rye to give this whiskey a distinct level of spice that veteran whiskey fans can appreciate and novices will be intrigued by. After maturing in new oak barrels (for 6 years) Wes Henderson and crew finish their Rye Whiskey in Plantation XO Rum barrels that were originally used to age cognac. After spending up to 18 months in the Caribbean rum casks the whiskey is ready for bottling.

Hitting liquor store shelves at 100 proof, Angel’s Envy Rye is by far one of the more intriguing whiskies on the market today. Which is why we were very excited to get our hands on a few bottles for tasting recently.

Bottled between 125 and 140 proof, Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof is the newest (and most potent) addition to the JD Family.

To create Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof they didn’t rewrite the handbook. In fact, Barrel Proof is crafted using the same cave spring water from the Jack Daniel’s Hollow, proprietary yeast and charcoal-mellowing process that’s been used in the distillery’s nearly 150-year-old Tennessee Whiskey recipe. From there, the spirit enters a charred White American Oak barrel, forged within Jack Daniel’s very own cooperage and set to age in the upper regions of the barrelhouse. In this resting place, the whiskey is exposed to the extreme temperature variations that a Lynchburg, Tennessee season brings. The interaction of the whiskey, the wood and the environment creates nuances from barrel to barrel to bring out distinct flavor profiles that transcend the expected to become ‘Barrel Proof.’

Priced at $65 per bottle, this whiskey is marketed towards consumers with descerning taste and a bit of pocket change. Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof is well worth the price and makes for the perfect holiday gift idea.

In the cigar world, the name Gurkha Cigars in synonymous with luxury and premium cigars. The founder of Gurkha, Kaizad Hansotia, is notorious for spending copious amounts of time researching extremely rare tobaccos and for his obsession of trying to find the perfect blend. Kaizad is considered to be one of the founding fathers of the premium cigar and is a pioneer in the industry. A few years ago Gurkha started releasing cigars under the East India Trading Company name and while the name may not carry as much weight in the cigar world as Gurkha – you can rest assured knowing East India is still firmly apart of the Gurka brand. Recently we were given the opportunity to have a smoke session with the third release of the East India Trading Company’s Rogue Cigars.

If you’re looking to try out a full-flavored cigar that will excite your senses, while delivering a mellow overall experience, the Gurkha Rouge is the ticket. We found its diverse combination of tobaccos to be very enjoyable. If you run across them online or at your local cigar shop don’t hesitate to pick one up this holiday season!
