FEELLE 50,000 mAh Solar Power Bank
Four solar panels fold outward from the FEELLE 50000mAh Solar Power Bank, priced at $62.99 today (was $70), spreading across a wider surface than the single flat sheets found on most packs in the same size range. Each panel sits on a hinge that locks into place once opened, so the whole array can face the sun while the main body stays flat on the ground or hangs from a pack.

Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo 2 Hybrid Instant Camera
Fujifilm revealed the Instax Mini Evo 2 as a hybrid instant camera that pairs digital capture with printing on classic mini film, letting users review shots and print only the ones they want while keeping digital copies of everything. Available at the end of November for $289.95 in black only, it upgrades the original model with a larger sensor, a much bigger rear display, and two new shooting tools that expand how people frame and record moments. The body keeps the retro silver-and-black look with textured panels, analog-style dials, and a film-advance lever for printing, so the hands-on feel stays familiar even as the back changes completely.

Blink Mini Pan-Tilt Camera
A small white cube sits on its motorized base and quietly sweeps left, right, up, and down at your command. The Blink Mini Pan-Tilt Camera, priced at $23.99 today (was $40), plugs into any wall outlet, connects to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi in minutes through the Blink app, and gives you control over nearly an entire room from a phone or tablet. Its 110-degree lens sits on a base that pans roughly 350 degrees and tilts about 125 degrees, so you can check the far corner of a living room, glance at a hallway entrance, or look down at the floor without walking over to move the camera yourself.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K 2026
Amazon’s latest Fire TV Stick 4K (2026), priced at $29.99 today (was $60), arrives in a noticeably slimmer shell that tucks more cleanly behind most televisions and packs easily for travel. Power now comes straight from a compatible set’s USB port through a short included cable, so no separate wall adapter is required and one less cord hangs behind the screen. A quad-core 1.7 GHz processor sits inside with 1 GB of memory and 8 GB of storage, paired with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 so wireless connections stay current for typical home networks.

Storm of Crows Ancient Chinese Shotgun DIY Project Build
Hearing the name Storm of Crows might bring to mind fantasy games or dark forests, yet the real item comes from Chinese military records of long ago. Tod Cutler at Tod’s Workshop took the idea of a cup arrow, the romantic label for a bundle of smaller shafts, and set out to launch it from his Tzusun siege crossbow. That machine copies the Ox Bow design, a triple-bowed frame that once required oxen to draw and sent broomstick-sized bolts downrange with hundreds of joules of force. Single large arrows could punch through armor or men, but they left groups of infantry largely untouched unless the targets lined up neatly. Chinese engineers therefore developed a way to send many short arrows at once, creating a spread of hits that covered more ground.

FNIRSI DMC-100 Clamp Meter Running DOOM
A thirty-dollar FNIRSI DMC-100 clamp meter now hosts a complete, playable episode of DOOM, complete with all nine maps, the title screen, intermissions, the finale, the menu, and four save slots. Polish developer Artur Bieniek made this possible by adapting the doomgeneric engine, drawn from id Software’s source release, to the meter’s Artery AT32F415 microcontroller. That chip runs at 150 MHz, yet it provides only 32 kilobytes of RAM, an amount smaller than the 64,000 bytes needed for a single original Doom frame. Bieniek’s port therefore ranks among the leanest versions of the game ever made, beating the previous low of 64 kilobytes recorded on a Neo Geo release.

Blink Mini 2K+ Indoor Outdoor Security Camera
Blink Mini 2K+, priced at $16.99 today (was $40), measures just two inches on each side and weighs about 65 grams, small enough to rest on a shelf or mount discreetly without drawing attention. Video streams at 2560 by 1440 resolution and up to 24 frames per second, delivering enough detail that a four times digital zoom on a phone still shows readable faces or package labels.

Kenko Pieni III Ultra Compact Digital Camera
Kenko Tokina introduced the Pieni III earlier this week, as a toy digital camera small enough to wear on a neck strap during ordinary days. Measuring about 53 by 35 by 18 millimeters and weighing roughly 18 grams without a card, the body sits lightly against clothing or sits on a shelf as decoration when not in use. Four standard finishes cover Soda light blue, Strawberry pink, Milk white, and Black, while separate Sanrio editions featuring Hello Kitty and related characters cost more and arrive with matching straps.

Fire HD 8 2024 12th Gen
Amazon refreshed the eight-inch Fire HD 8 for the 12th-generation model, priced at $79.99 (was $130), while keeping the same compact body that has defined the line for years. Measuring 7.94 by 5.40 by 0.37 inches and weighing 11.88 ounces, the tablet stays easy to hold in one hand or slip into a bag for travel. Four gigabytes of RAM pair with 64 gigabytes of storage in this configuration, a clear step up from the 2-gigabyte memory found on earlier base models. A dedicated microSD slot accepts cards up to 1 terabyte, so libraries of books, music, or video can grow without forcing a higher internal capacity from the start.
