The power of technology never ceases to amaze me. This demo reel shows the filming abilities of high def cameras aboard R/C Helicopters, and I think it’s pretty cool! From the golf course to zip-lining in the trees, these things can really come in handy when trying to film high speed action from the sky!

Enterprise Rent-A-Car has just announced that it’ll be the first to offer Chevrolet’s Volt later in the month. The company’s Mark Christopher Auto Center in Ontario, California will have an undisclosed amount in stock for daily and weekly rentals, and it sounds as if it’ll be grappling for more just as soon as they roll off of the production line. For those who can’t quite make it down to the desert, Enterprise will be offering 500 Nissan Leaf vehicles nationwide, with charging stations already installed in Los Angeles, San Diego and Santa Monica.

 ExoVault Metal Iphone Case from exovault.com
Exovault is a artist-run company; we provide the kind of low volume, high-quality product that can appeal to a small and specific part of the population- like you. We are irritated by so many high volume, mass-produced products that must lose their individuality and integrity in order to appeal to an increasingly wide and thus inherently bland demographic. EXOvault cases are made in our studios in Brooklyn, NY- from design, to proto-type to the final hand-finished product, we take steps to stand apart from the rest in our level of craftsmanship, our choice of quality materials and our dedication and attention to detail.
