Tamaggo camera egg takes 360-degree panoramas in one snap

Creating panoramas has always been somewhat of a photography novelty, and the continuing evolution of both regular cameras and smartphones has given us some pretty good options to work with. Many new point-and-shoot cameras come with a built-in panorama features and if you have a smartphone, there are countless apps that will allow you to create long, stitched-together panoramas right from your phone. Most of these options don’t allow for 360-degree shooting–and we certainly don’t know any that can shoot 360-degrees and also have a 14-megapixel sensor.

The adorable egg-shaped Tamaggo ($200) takes both of those features and puts them into a small robot-like package that will make panorama-shooting about as easy as it can be, and give you 14-megapixel shots to work with. The small camera comes with a helpful stand and will take shots in either full 360-degree mode, or either horizontal or vertical panorama. The camera has a 2-inch LCD touchscreen and runs off of a li-polymer rechargeable battery that can connect to your computer via micro USB. The camera also features Bluetooth and built-in WiFi for sharing your photos.

The Tamaggo will be available in the second quarter of this year for $200.

Home Depot’s “Build Your Own” Black Friday power tool deal is its best-kept secret

Home Depot consumer

Covering cordless power tools during Black Friday is surprisingly fascinating. Of the Black Friday deals I've covered so far this year, both Black Friday cordless drill deals and Black Friday power tool deals have been included included in my retinue, alongside a host of similar articles for our "brother" site The Manual.

There's one deal bundle among them all, however, that I've been utterly fascinated by this whole time. It's what I'm calling Home Depot's "build your own" power tool deal. This intriguing offering, which feels under advertised by Home Depot, seemingly inverts what we think of when we think of power tool deals. Instead of feeling stuck buying buying batteries separately — with a drill, with a big bundle, or with the lucky random battery — you're able (now) to build our deal and get everything you need, at a flat price. This means you can get the exact tool you want, and all the batteries you want with it, for as low as $99. Check it out yourself by tapping the button below, or keep reading to see what makes this deal so unique, how to shop it, and a few suggestions as to what you should buy.

These BLUETTI Black Friday deals include its latest Elite 200 V2 portable power station

Something I love to do, every chance I get, is to share my experiences with select products, especially on deal posts and sales features. Why? Because that gives people a much better idea of what they can expect if they were to take advantage of those offers. For better or worse, you gain something, and that's precisely what I plan to do with BLUETTI's latest Elite 200 V2 portable power station. You see, I happen to have one in my possession which I acquired recently. And a good thing, too, with all of the hurricanes that have been hitting our area -- I live near Tampa, Florida.

Thanks to BLUETTI Black Friday deals and discounts, that have just dropped, there are several power stations on sale, including the Elite 200 V2. It's a 2,600-watt and 2,073.6-watt-hour power station, which is frankly a massive capacity for something this size, that can power up to nine devices simultaneously -- I've tested that too. Understandably, you probably care more about the prices and discounts so let's get into it.
