Spy Pen Video Camera – Covert Audio & Video Recorder
June 29, 2010
If you had not noticed, we love spy gadgets hear at GFM like the great Spy Camera Sunglasses we covered. This Spy Pen Video Camera carries on the covert filming theme as it is pretty much what the title says. A pen with a built in video camera. It still amazes us how they manage to squeeze a camera into something so small. What really amazed us was what else this covert spy gadget had to offer as well.
For starters the camera shoots in VGA quality and stores them as JPG files that are time and date stamped. So that’s a “pen” that can shoot movies in exactly the same quality that an old school video player could show. How technology has moved on never ceases to amaze us.

June 15, 2010
Have you ever dreamed of owning your own AK47 and feeling the pulsing firing action as you fire it at your “friend” who has just beaten you a poker? Well the good news is now you can and no one actually has to die or go to prison thanks to the SaturatoR AK47 Aqua Fire – a rapid, high power water pistol!
This is basically a Terminator style name for an a AK-47 Aqua Fire rapid-fire water pistol modelled on the original Kalashnikov model. In water pistol terms “Rapid-fire” is normally dictated by how fast you can pump your weapon of choice. Not this time!

What are They?
It doesn’t take a genius to work out what Walkie Talkie Watches could be. Yes. you guessed it…. Its two watches that double up as walkie talkies. Granted, the first thing we thought was “a walkie talkie in a watch! That’ll be poo, as it will have no range, eat batteries, have no functions and be seriously fiddly/difficult to use”. So naturally we had to have a closer look.
At first glance we were surprised by the size. They are oversized, compared to a Casio watch, but not as much as you might think. The face of the “watch” only measures in at 7 x 6 x 2.5cm and when you consider that the aerial can be folded in and out when needed it is surprisingly small. The next thing we noticed was that they come with an AC adapter and earpiece each. So the AC adapter means no replacing batteries and no wind-up walkie talkies, Bonus! And the AC adapter means no batteries necessary, double bonus!

What is it?
The official line is that the Laser Airzooka is “A bucket shaped, high tech, soft combat, high velocity air cannon with a laser targeting system”!?!
Put in GFM speak that means it’s a “big gun that shoots air…… accurately”. The Airzooka has been kicking around for some time now so cant exactly be called “new tech”, but it has just received a surprising facelift with the addition of a laser sighting and a change of colour. The Airzooka now comes in stealthy black and they have replaced the old flick up clear plastic sight with a class I laser target.

June 11, 2009
What is it?
Since the dawn of time all men have cooked raw meat over an open flame and we cant explain why we love doing it. We have also, by default, all burnt our barbeque meat into unrecognisable charred lumps, with a pink gooey centre. This was all done in an effort to get that unbeatable flame grilled taste, which as you will know, is difficult to master… until now. Step up the BarbeSkew II (the new cheaper version of the original BarbeSkew, as seen on Dragons Den).
It is essentially a new take on a BBQ that constantly rotates your chosen meat, instead of leaving it static on a grill. It does not sound like a massive evolutionary step, but the best ideas are always the most simple. You lance your chosen cuts of meat (perhaps using your Big BBQ Sword aka the Barbeque Sword) onto the 7 small skewers then slip them into the groves provided over the charcoal. They then slowly rotate, allowing the meat to receive a 360 degree view of the fire below. You also get 2 cage skewers enabling you to still cook the BBQ classics, sausages and burgers that also benefit from the same 360 degree cooking experience.

What is it?
Being the astute persons that you are, you can probably guess that this is an umbrella. But this is like no other umbrella we have ever seen before, because this is a “Lightsaber Umbrella”.
