Z Flyer hand command astronaut

Hovering just above the ground in normal flight, when you place your hand underneath him, he’ll follow your lead so you can control his flight with hand gestures. How cool is that!  Hand Command is simple to fly and will stay upright with no effort at all - errrr probably not if I was doing it!  Price around £15

Gorilla Pod by Joby

We all love the gorilla pod spesh the new pink flavour that has been launched following on from the original one. Girlie, bright, and super useful, you can also get it in red, blue, green, orange and yellow. It is the lightest and most versatile camera tripod available today. Featuring over 25 flexible leg joints that bend and rotate, it will firmly secure compact digital cameras to virtually any surface - anywhere and everywhere!

It’s time to ditch the nerdy case that you got with your blackberry and get a neat case that can double as a clutch!
