Sometimes the simplest things catch our eye and the Tactical Luggage Lock from Maxpedition we spied at this year’s SHOT Show is no exception.
Available in Black, Khaki and Foliage Green, it is a 3-Dial combination TSA lock. This means it is good to go for air travel in the US and UK.
Over the Summer, Watershed showed us a cool waterproof iPad case. At SHOT Show they gave a peek at their Clutch Smartphone Case. As you can see, it’s got ample room for your phone and it can be used while inside the bag. With additional room for other gear, it can be folded in thirds for portage and stowage. What’s REALLY cool is that it integrates an ITW Military Products Cat Snap which is adjustable based on how much you’ve stuffed in your bag.
US Night Vision showed us an adapter that connects the AN/PVS14 to an iPhone. Manufactured form aircraft aluminum, it slides right onto the phone and features a view hole and threads that screw into the threads on the 14. Once the iPhone is in camera mode you can take full advantage of the features of the camera app, including zoom and image stabilization. Then, sharing photos and video is as simple as SMS or email.
Models are also already available dor the Galaxy and Casio Commando but look for additional Droid and Blackberry options soon.
This is literally one of the coolest things we have seen all week.
We’ve mentioned DynGlobal a couple of times in conjunction with S.O.Tech. Turns out, they are up to a lot more than just solar panels.
Once you’ve reviewed this document showcasing many of DynGlobal’s many technologies, you’ll agree, they’ll sell themselves.
This is a test mule of the 2X “dragon’s teeth” from the last Multitasker. This is the Series 3 TiCN, coming soon to discriminating multitool users near you. You can check it out at SHOT at Booth #7309, Level 1 near the New Product Center.
New Multitasker on the way.
BOLO Report just ran an article on the Series 2X…if you haven’t read about it, you should go do so now!

We sent Tactical Fanboy out to Las Vegas early this year to cover the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show. This article is on the upcoming G-Shock GB-6900. To see all of TF’s coverage visit www.tacticalfanboy.com/category/ces/
Casio’s latest offering in the G-Shock line of watches is the GB-6900. It’s the first in the line to use Bluetooth Low Energy Wireless Technology, which is really Newspeak for this thing will be studying your daily habits to better plan the eventual machine takeover. All joking aside, it’s a pretty useful bit of hardware.
It connects to most smartphones to automatically adjust and correct its own display time and includes an alert signal that notifies the user of incoming calls and messages. Any ring alerts and vibration can be stopped by tapping a button on the watch. Similarly, phone alarm and vibration functions can be activated with a button press if the phone is misplaced. The Bluetooth signal features a data transfer rate is abound 1 Mbps with a signal range of 2m and a 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard.
As a watch, the GB-6900 isn’t too shabby either. It has five independent daily alarms, a stopwatch, countdown timer, and display options for 35 time zones in 100 cities, including Coordinated Universal Time and the option to enable Daylight Savings Time. Like other G-Shock models, it has a shock-resistant body and is rated for immersion up to 200 meters of water. A battery life of approx. 2 years is provided by a single CR2032 disk battery, assuming the communication function is used for only 12 hours per day. It’ll be available in Japan in March. The USA, and presumably everyone else, will get it by the end of the year.
At SSD, we LOVE Sharpies, so when we found about Cold Steel’s new Sharkies we were pretty excited. Made from the glass-reinforced plastic, Grivory, the Sharkie’s walls are four times thicker than a standard marker. This means that it is going to be pretty hard to break.
