New KMSB Fox 11 Segment – Tech for Fun and Movement

In this Week’s Tech Segment from KMSB Fox 11, I’m addressing a viewer’s question. A gift request from a 10-year-old grandson of our Viewer has given us a chance to check out action camera GoPro Alternative. While a GoPro might be the dream choice, the reality of price limitations sets in. Even with recent discounts, the older GoPro models, The Hero 9 hover around $249, well above the viewer’s $100 budget and looking at this past weeks announcement from DJI , the impressive Osmo 4 Action Camera, a worthy competitor to the latest GoPro Hero 11 Black. Both cameras boast remarkable features, but they come with a price tag starting at $399.

For those aiming to strike a balance between performance and budget, We share the Akaso EK7000PRO. This nifty action camera doesn’t compromise on quality, offering different modes including 4K at 30 FPS or 1080P at 60 FPS. The package includes a variety of mounts

The Akaso EK7000 is a budget choice with some quality for adventure enthusiasts, featuring Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) that keeps your videos smooth and steady. With a 2-inch touch screen display, this camera keeps you in control. The Akaso EK7000 Pros camera’s durable case safeguards against dust and water, allowing you to dive up to 130 feet.

Another neat feature is the Akaso EK7000’s remote recording pad, accessible through a watch-type accessory. A good choice and sturdy built camera.

And that’s not all! As we transition back into the school season, it’s natural to ponder how our kids will spend their time at home. The FitBit Ace 3 offers a perfect solution. This engaging gadget encourages kids to stay active, providing motivation, movement reminders, and even bedtime alerts. The customizable bands add a personal touch, while all-day activity tracking fosters a sense of achievement.

Users would need to set up a Google Family Account, providing both parents and children their respective digital spaces. It’s a fantastic way to strike a balance between fun and responsibility, particularly for children aged 6 and above.

So, whether you’re exploring the thrilling world of action cameras or seeking ways to keep your kids active and engaged, today’s tech segment is brimming with exciting possibilities. Join me as we delve into these budget-friendly alternatives and discover the perfect gift for your loved ones this holiday season. Remember, the Akaso EK7000 might just surprise you, capturing memories with exceptional quality without breaking the bank.

New Segment Posted – Back to School Tech on KMSB Fox 11

For this Week’s Segment we are looking at some Peripherals for the Student that will be  helping to get Homework assignments done but could also be used by the entire family and add a touch of personalization. Logitech has a Wide Range of Products that offer different colors, sizes and connectivity. We look at the Logitech Pop Mouse and K585 Wireless Keyboard.

Over the years as students have needed to prepare reports for assignments, printing them can sometimes run into problems. One of the Common issues is when a printer hasn’t been used for an extended period and the Ink Heads Can become clogged. Sometime’s running a print head cleaning can clear it, however the cost of Ink for replacement on a traditional InkJet can be pricy. Epson has the perfect solution for that,

For that student that would like to print the projects, have color and faster print times. We take a look at the Epson ET-2850. The Printer features the popular Eco-Tank which will generally see a higher Point on the printer but in the long run provide an easy solution and lower cost for refillable ink for those printing lots of products. A difference in cost for priting can be a 90% savings.

The Epson ET-2850 is super easy to set up and it features Wi-Fi Direct, so you could print directly from the Epson Smart Panel App on the Smartphone or tablet to the printer if needed. Users can also print over the Internet to the printer. We were extremly please with the output quality whether on Photo Glossy or plain paper, it looks great. Find out more about the ET-2850 on the Epson Website.
