Diadora Magic 10

Advantages: Durable, great for exercise
Disadvantages: Expensive, boring in weak winds

...Well I bought this kite as I wanted to get into power kiting, which is a sport that uses powerful kites for jumping, traction, skidding, and surfing. This kite was on offer at £90 when I purchased it 6 months ago, but these offers have been around recently. They come in a large selection of colours but in offers they usually only have a few colours to choose from. Mine is in fluorescent yellow. The wingspan is about 10 foot, hence the name super 10. The Kite: The kite is provided in a fairly strong zipped fabric sleeve, which is about 1/3 of the kite's wingspan. The carbon wingspar is made of 3 rods which are connected using 2 brass connectors. The kite itself is made of chikira ripstop nylon which seems very light for its strength. The spar then needs to be threaded through one of the wingtip through to the other end... Read review

Advantages: Easy to read display
Disadvantages: Clocks up steps you haven't done

...If you are determined to walk the recommended 10,000 steps a day then one of these little things is perfect to let you know how well, or not so well, you are doing. This is just a step counter and not a pedometer, a pedometer will count your miles, steps, calories, speed and all sorts of things for the more hard core of you out there, the step counter just counts steps! The step counter is really small, light, and discrete so you can wear it anytime and it won't bother you. It just clips on to your waistband, front or back and off you go! It doesn't need to be set up for your stride, it works on the pendulum inside with the movement of your legs, every time you take a step it moves the pendulum hence counting your step! The only downside to not having to input your stride is that it's not very accurate, if you are standing still... Read review

Advantages: A great camera for someone to just jump in the water and have a go with
Disadvantages: You will outgrow the camera especially if you move beyong the novice level

...This was the first underwater camera I bought, and I did so at a time when I actually knew nothing about underwater photography, but just had an urge to go and do it. The MX10 in my opinion turned out to be a great camera for someone like myself who knew very little about the subject. It's easy to use and the only thing you have to remember with the camera (like any other underwater photography is to get as close to your subject as possible), is to guess you distance and set the exposure setting accordingly. Then it's just a case of pointing and shooting. I took the MX10 with me to Eygpt, States and the far East, and it's light enough to keep in your hand luggage. The next great thing about the MX10 is that not only is it easy to use and light to carry around, but you can buy a variety of lenses for Macro and Micro photography... Read review
