Autel EVO 2 – Drone with 8K Camera
Autel Robotics showcased its newest product Evo 2 at CES 2020 and it has an 8K camera on board. Evo 2, in my opinion, will be one of the coolest drones of 2020.
It shoots in 8K, has a maximum range of 9 km and a battery backup of 40 hours. Are you kidding me? If the battery is really 40 hours, this drone is a steal.
Evo 2 has an obstacle avoidance system, intelligent flight controls, and foldable propellers. This drone is as compact as DJI Mavic 2 but is slightly heavier than Mavic Pro or 2.
One of the best features that captivated me is their quite propeller design. I have a Mavic Pro and I can say that Evo 2’s makes 50% less noise while flying, I was just shocked when I saw their demo at CES.
This is my hands-on first impression and if you are buying one, watch the review video below.
FEATURES
- 40min Flight time

Kangaroo Smart Privacy Camera
Kangaroo showcased their newest product called privacy camera during CES 2020. The privacy camera is smart, comes with their patented privacy shield technology and it can be streamed via wifi. The privacy shield is something that turns the camera screen from opaque to transparent at the click of a button. The best part, it does not even take a second to do that.
Kangaroo privacy camera is expected to reach the market by February 2020 and it might be priced at around $60 or so. Thinking about its features to price ratio, this camera is a serious competitor to some of the most rated surveillance cameras on the market right now.

Lumicharge LD – Desk Lamp, Wireless Speaker, Phone Charger & More
I came across the Lumicharge LD smart lamp during the CES 2020 event this week. The lamp is multifunctional. It has a wireless smartphone charger on the top and a swiveling charging port which has USB C, Micro USB and Lightning Port options.
The device has a smart RGB light that can be controlled via a mobile app or through google home or Alexa. It also has an integrated wireless speaker that lets you stream any music from your phone. The audio quality is not bad at all, I personally liked it when I tested it out. There are a couple of physical buttons on the lamp that can control volume and stuff like that.
Lumicharge LD lamp can have a digital timer but it supports only 24-hour format. You can insert the battery to use it as a wireless lamp/speaker too. This lamp is perfect for home use or for students

Manta5 Hydrofoiler XE lets you Bicycle on Water
There was a time when road bikes were popular but now it is time for waterbikes to make some noise. What if you could ride a bicycle on water? Yes, on water. Walking on water is not possible but at least we can bicycle on water, thanks to Hydrofiler XE by Manta5. You still don't believe me, do you? Just go down this article and watch the video yourself. I saw this humongous bike at CES 2020. Due to its size, it is not easy to carry. It uses the hydrofoil technique to stay afloat and requires you to continuously pedal it.
As I spoke to one of their team, Hydrofoiler XEÂ has a battery life of 1 hour. As soon as the battery reaches a threshold, it pops up a warning on the display. If the battery dies, it does sink down if there is a person on it.
BenjiLock Fingerprint Bike Lock
Benjilock, one of the best fingerprint lock manufacturers just released its new product for bikers. It is a fingerprint lock made for bikes, be it an e-Bike or a regular one. I always wanted to have something like this because when I take my bike to Gym, it is kinda inconvenient to find my keys, unlock the U lock, fix it in place and lock it. What if you could lock or unlock your bike's U lock in a second? This gadget does exactly that.
As I spoke to one of their team at CES 2020, the fingerprint lock is not yet available in the market but it could be released in around September of 2020 (Update: the product is already available to purchase at HomeDepot). They did have a working prototype that I personally tested.
The battery life on the U lock is around 6 to 8 months which is amazing.
mui – A wooden Plank with a Hidden Display
MUI is a cool wooden plank with a twist, it has a display embedded inside it. It is 100% made out of wood and the best thing is it has a touch display that can show notifications, set timer and play music.
One thing I forgot to mention is that it has an inbuilt speaker too, how cool is that? It has a built-in google assistant that is voice search enabled. MUI also integrates with several smart bulbs such as Hue and lets you control the brightness by sliding across the horizontal axis. It can show weather, your schedule and more.
The panel is not thick at all, it is just as the size of a typical wooden plank (you can see it from the image above). It can be fitted on any wall or hard surface. Costing around $600, this gadget is definitely not cheap but is a good fit if
