The GoPro of Microphones Lets you Record Sound Remotely via Bluetooth

Screen Shot 2015-07-18 at 9.34.56 PMDesigner and geek, Michele Baggio, has come up with something that’s been needed for a long time. A remote, waterproof mic. A GoPro picks up sound – no doubt, but sometimes you need to shoot from a distance, but get the foley sounds right at the source. Instamic solves that problem by being a low-power bluetooth microphone in a waterproof housing. On a full charge, the Instamic can record for up to 4 hours (mono) or 2 hours (stereo).

For you folks that like to get audio underwater, the Instamic is good up to a depth of 5 feet. Baggio has launched an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to fund the mass production of the Instamic.

Star Wars Stormtrooper Bluetooth Speaker Lets You Rock Your Tiny Corner of the Death Star

stroop1Star Wars fans can get their geek audio on via the Force with this small, yet powerful Bluetooth speaker that takes the form of a Stormtrooper’s head mask. The 5-watt speaker has a chargeable lithium battery inside and comes with a USB charging cord.

The trooper comes with an indicator light as well.

The Ewoks on Endor are still harvesting the masks off the defeated stormtroopers – but they are due for release by October – just in time for Chanukah and Christmas gifts for your favorite fanboy or fangirl.

He may be a little short for a Stormtrooper, but he makes it easy to listen to your tunes or podcasts with far more umph than the speakers built-in to your smartphone.

You can pre-order these babies from The Fowndry. You can follow The Fowndry on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Pinterest and Tumblr.
