Keep your drone, camera gear, and other equipment safe with a Pelican Storm Case

Need to keep your fragile electronic equipment safe and well-protected no matter where you go? If so, then the new Pelican Storm Case was built with your needs in mind. This cargo box is designed to safely and securely carry drones, camera gear, scientific research equipment, and other delicate items into some of the most demanding environments on the planet while ensuring that all of your gadgets stays in working order along the way.

Known for creating some of the most rugged and dependable lights, luggage, and protective cases on the market, Pelican has been helping outdoor adventurers, photographers, explorers, researchers, and military personnel keep their important gear safe for over four decades. The company got its start in a garage in Torrance, California back in 1976 and has since blossomed into a major player in the outdoor industry, in large part because so many people depend on its products to help them safely transport their gear to and from remote locations. For instance, Pelican’s line of Storm Cases come in three sizes — small, medium, and large — and were built to make carrying easily-damaged equipment into the backcountry as easy as possible, while still providing maximum protection against the elements too.

The latest edition to the Storm line-up is the new iM2275 case, which has been built to survive in the outdoors. This medium-sized storage bin is constructed from an almost indestructible injection-molded high performance resin and features heavy-duty latches, tough hinges, and a Gore-Tex membrane that keeps moisture at bay. It also comes with a lid that is 20 percent deeper than previous models — allowing for more carrying capacity — as well as the ability to use padlocks to prevent unwanted individuals from gaining access to the interior.

The case is also waterproof and impact resistant, and has been rated to keep its contents safe, even in extreme environments. Pelican says that the iM2275 has been built to function properly in temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit and as high as 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Furthermore, the company is willing to back up those claims with a lifetime guarantee.

The iM2275 case is available both with or without protective foam. The version with the foam can be easily customized to fit specific gear, such as a camera body and extra lenses or a

 with a remote control. The model that ships without the protective foam offers more carrying capacity, albeit at the expense of extra cushioning.

Aventon Abound SR combines thoughtful design, enhanced security, and smart connectivity

Electric bikes are nothing new at this point, and while there are many styles, few purportedly do-it-all, and even fewer actually offer smart or more advanced features. They tend to do one thing particularly well, like cruising, carrying cargo, or sightseeing -- like city riding -- but the biggest way they push the envelope is by offering that long-range electric power. The Aventon Abound SR, a new do-it-all bike, goes far and beyond anything that's come before it.

For starters, it's the first bike equipped with Aventon's electronic control unit (ACU) which empowers intelligent safety features. That gives you 4G and GPS tracking built-in, plus remote locking, an alarm system, and much more. But also, this top-of-its-class bike is incredibly versatile and is suitable for everything from commutes to tough exercise rides and daily routines. It features a top speed of 20 miles per hour, has a range of up to 60 miles per charge, and can carry a payload of up to 440 pounds. Impressive, indeed. Let's take a closer look and get a little more friendly with it, shall we?

Velotric: One of our favorite e-bike brands is having a huge sale right now

Take a minute to browse through the e-bike category, and you'll see lots of options but not many that I would classify as accessible. As far as technology goes, they can be pretty expensive, especially compared to your everyday traditional pedal bike. So, it makes sense that most people would wait until the holiday season, including Black Friday and Cyber Monday, to get a great deal on a new bike. Prices are at their lowest ever, and it's a great time to save some money. But guess what? You don't have to wait until later in November to save big because Velotric, a premium-quality e-bike maker, is hosting a huge sale right now. You can head over now to take a look, otherwise, we're going to explore some of those Velotric e-bike deals that are available.

What are these "Lower-Than-Black-Friday" Velotric e-bike deals?

Velotric is claiming these deals are "better" than Black Friday, so they better be good, right? Don't worry, they are. For example, you can grab the Velotric Go 1 Ebike for $400 off, while still getting it in a bundle that includes two free gears. That price is currently $1,299, normally $1,700. The Go 1 features a 500-watt motor, supports a maximum load of 440 pounds, and can travel up to 55 miles on a single charge. Pretty impressive. It's also designed to lug cargo, like a picnic basket, day bag, or even camping gear. That's mostly thanks to a lower center of gravity for the frame and hydraulic suspension system.
