Hands-on with GoPro's $300 Karma Grip camera stabilizer
Hands-on with GoPro's $300 Karma Grip camera stabilizer
At this point, we've all seen way too many nauseatingly shaky GoPro videos. And while the electronic image stabilization in the new Hero5 cameras helps, it doesn't compare to the results you get with the Karma Grip.
The Grip is the camera stabilizer found on the company's Karma drone plus the battery-powered handheld mount that's bundled with the drone. You can now get just the Karma Grip for shooting on the ground for $300, AU$460 and £250. It's expensive, but it's actually in line with similar 3-axis gimbals and GoPro's is way more flexible.
The stabilizer is ready to use with the Hero5 Black, but a $30 harness is available for the Hero4 Silver and Black and one for the Hero5 Session arrives in 2017. Since the Grip connects directly to the camera's USB-C and Micro-HDMI ports on its side, the two are completely integrated to give you both control and power from the handle.
On the handle you get buttons for power and changing shooting modes, adding highlight tags to your videos, starting and stopping recordings as well as a tilt-lock button that also gives you battery status. Normally the camera stays pointed forward regardless of how you hold the handle, but pressing the tilt-lock lets you aim the camera above or below the horizon and keep it at that angle. Double tapping it will lock the camera to follow a subject, so you can move around someone while keeping them framed in your shot.
There are no pan or tilt controls, though. The Grip also can't stand on its own and there's no tripod mount on the handle itself. Instead, GoPro includes a mounting ring that slips in between the handle and the stabilizer sections. The metal collar can attach to any GoPro mount or any other third-party mounts out there that use GoPro connectors.

Going a step further, GoPro will have an extension cable that connects between the stabilizer and handle. This way, you'll be able to mount the stabilizer on a helmet, for example, while mounting the handle on your body or backpack for power and control.
The Grip has a built-in rechargeable battery rated for up to one hour and 45 minutes of use and takes six hours to fully power up with a 1-amp charger. That is crazy long considering it's a non-removable battery, but GoPro offers a fast charger that promises to cut that time down to just under two hours. A USB-C port is used for charging the Grip and the camera, but can also transfer your shots without removing the camera.
The results speak for themselves. In the clip above, I mounted the Karma Grip with a Hero5 Black on the left strap of GoPro's Seeker backpack. On the right, I attached a Hero5 Black directly to the right strap. Other than some slight movement when I rode over bumps, the video from the Grip is perfectly smooth and stays pointed forward.
The camera's electronic image stabilization would have helped some (I didn't have it on), but you have to drop the resolution to at least 2.7K and record at no more than 60 frames per second to use EIS. With the Karma Grip, you can set the camera's resolution and frame rate to whatever you want.
Motor noise will get picked up by the camera's mics, which you can't hear in this scene over the traffic, but in very quiet shots you'll hear it. It's something I've experienced with all small stabilizers like this where the camera (be it GoPro, phone or otherwise) is mounted right next to the motors.
The standard GoPro mount lets you go hands-free with the Karma Grip.
Sarah Tew/CNET
A good motorized stabilizer like the Karma Grip makes a huge difference in your results and makes GoPro's cameras that much more useful regardless of what you're recording. There are other GoPro gimbals out there, but this one adds some versatility the company's cameras are known for.

Does the job of a microwave, air fryer and convection oven in one compact appliance

Quieter than other air fryers I've tested
Rotates while in use to promote even cooking
Don't Like
Galanz is a newer brand so it's harder to determine quality over time
Slightly less powerful air fryer function than others I've tested
Gives off a fair amount of heat when cooking
My uses for a microwave have dwindled over the years. One of the big shifts is an air fryer usurping many of its responsibilities. If I want to quickly reheat solid foods like meat and veggies, an air fryer does the job better, more evenly and just as quickly. I still call on the microwave for zapping semi-solids like mashed potatoes and beans, to soften butter or defrost frozen food in a pinch. (Letting it defrost on the counter will always be the best option if you can remember to take it out, though.) But while the air fryer is useful, there are still some good reasons to keep the microwave around. That's why a sleek $98 Galanz hybrid oven that combines the powers of the microwave, air fryer and convection oven caught my attention.
The concept is confusing since microwaves famously can't cook with metal inside and convection ovens can't cook anything wrapped or sitting in plastic -- one of the microwave's few obvious advantages. But the Galanz had solid reviews and cost just $98. At that price, how could I not at least try the thing?
The $98 Galanz microwave and air fryer proved itself a capable appliance that does the work of several.
David Watsky/CNET
There aren't a ton of microwave-air fryers out there which usually tells you all you need to know. I'll be honest, I had low expectations for this small kitchen appliance, but in a series of tests of the microwave and convection modes, I discovered that it manages to do a bunch of different types of cooking at least competently or better. If you're looking for a new microwave or need to replace an older model, I say get one that can do all that the Galanz can.
Here's more about the versatile microwave-air fryer oven why it impressed me so much.
Is this really a microwave and a convection oven?
Yes. I immediately ran simple tests to make sure there wasn't some fancy or misleading marketing jargon. When you set it on the microwave function, the Galanz cooks foods and liquids to extremely high temps but without melting plastic. That's a clear indicator that electromagnetic waves (aka microwaves) are at work.
Conversely, when you put it in air fry mode, roast or another variation of a convection program, this oven cooked just as most ovens do and the use of metal roasting racks -- like the ones that come with the oven -- didn't elicit any sparks.
Now it was on to the real tests.
Microwave function is up to snuff
I'm not a stickler for a fancy or powerful microwave. I use mine sparingly and for very straightforward heating and defrosting tasks but I wanted to make sure the Galanz could perform the basic duties. I ran several tests side by side with my existing KitchenAid microwave.
I put 8 ounces of water in two coffee mugs and microwaved on high for 2 minutes, then tested both with a thermocouple thermometer. Each mug of water rose to an identical 142 degrees F.
Next, I cooked an Amy's frozen dinner (saag paneer with rice) for the amount of time instructed on the box. Both microwaves cooked the food to a very similar temperature and doneness. At this point, it was obvious the microwave function was on par with other leading (and much more expensive) microwaves.
I half expected the plastic around this frozen dinner to be melted when I opened the door but the microwave function works as advertised.

Frozen fries and dumplings
Fries are a popular air fryer food so I stuck a handful of Alexia garlic frozen fries on the air fryer rack, set the air fryer on 400 degrees F and cooked them for 8 minutes. When the timer dinged, the fries inside were cooked through and crispy but not quite browned enough for me. I gave them 3 more minutes and they were golden-brown perfection.
I also cooked six frozen dumplings with just a light coating of oil on air fry at 400 degrees checking them every so often. They turned out crispy and delicious in just 8 minutes.
There was some uneven browning but my dumplings turned out crispy and delicious in just 8 minutes of air frying.

Air fryer fried chicken
I've become hooked on making oil-free air fryer fried chicken so I ran a test with my trusty recipe in the Galanz oven. I made the very same chicken in my solo air fryer to compare. After coating the skin-on chicken thighs in egg and seasoned flour, I placed them on the air fryer rack and cooked them at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. The chicken that emerged from the Galanz was excellent -- crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The solo air fryer got the chicken skin just a slight hue darker but I imagine another minute or two of cooking and the Galanz would be right there with it.
The Galanz produced two excellent pieces of air-fried chicken (right) in 25 minutes, if not just slightly less browed than the single piece I cooked in a solo air fryer (left).
David Watsky/CNET
This was as good a sign as any that the air fryer function was plenty powerful if not just slightly less powerful than a top-shelf solo air fryer.
Air fried chicken wings
If you polled people on what food made them spring for an air fryer, you'd probably hear "chicken wings" more than any other. Wings are difficult to get right in a big convection oven and deep-frying at home is a very messy business. I cooked six medium chicken wings and used the oven's preset wing program. After the 30-minute cook time (temperature is not disclosed when you use a preset program), the wings came out nearly as crispy as in the test using our top-rated solo air fryers.
I decided to run the test again and forgo the preset program. After 25 minutes on high (400 degrees F) the wings were darn-near perfect.

Roasted broccoli
To test the roast function, I cooked half a head of broccoli cut into florets at 400 degrees F for 17 minutes, just as I would in my oven. They came out as I'd hoped: cooked through but still retaining a snap and a bit of browning on the edges.
Mess and cleanup
Chicken wings have a lot of fat and generally make a pretty big mess when you cook them in a smaller oven. After 30 minutes of air frying, a decent amount of grease dripped down to the easy-clean circular glass tray below but almost none splattered on the sides or ceiling of the oven. What did splatter, I wiped away easily with a warm sponge.
A 30-minute session cooking chicken wings left pools of grease on the easy-clean glass tray, but very little splatter on the walls of the oven.
David Watsky/CNET
The bottom line
This impressive oven does all the work of a microwave but it also has formidable convection power to air fry roast, toast and bake. Another advantage this oven has oven standard air fryers is a rotating glass tray which promotes even cooking. I have yet to come across another air fryer that spins food while it cooks.
If you've already got a microwave you like and are just looking for a good countertop toaster or air fryer, I might point you to our list of best air fryers since they generally cost less, take up less counter space and are light enough that you can move them in and out of cabinets or down from atop the fridge. I should also mention that I haver limited personal experience with the Galanz brand, so it's tough to predict how this oven will hold up over time.
But at just $98, this combination device is an excellent value considering all it does and how well it is cooked a few of my air fryer favorites. If I were in the market for a new microwave, I can't think of a reason not to get one that also does everything else the Galanz does. If you're a serial host, think of it as an extra oven to make that pesky side of potatoes or holiday stuffing when it comes down to crunch time.

Score Yourself a Refurb Dell Chromebook for as Little as Just $50 Today
Score Yourself a Refurb Dell Chromebook for as Little as Just $50 Today
A basic laptop for browsing the web and performing simple word processing doesn't have to be expensive. With summer nearly here, kids will be returning home and more people may travel. If all you really need is a web browser and a decent screen, consider getting a refurbished Chromebook. Dell Chromebook options are on sale at Woot for as low as $50 now through June 6 while supplies last.
Each of the Chromebooks have durable, lightweight designs and come with a 90-day Woot limited warranty, just in case. It's an ideal setup for kids or older parents who just need the basics, and it even makes a handy travel laptop.
If you're seeking the absolute lowest cost in this deal, you can snag the Dell Chromebook 11-inch Notebook for $50. It comes with 16GB of storage and has an anti-glare HD LCD screen, dual array microphones and front-facing speakers, as well as all the best Google apps built-in.
But if you can, we recommend splurging for the slightly more expensive 2-in-1 convertible 11-inch Chromebook by Dell. It comes equipped with 32GB of storage on a solid state drive, an Intel dual-core N3060 processor and 4GB of RAM. It will easily handle video chatting and simple streaming. Plus, the screen is versatile and can lie flat, like a tablet. It has options available for $75 (Scratch and Dent) or $100 (Grade A Refurbished).
If you need more power to do things like video editing or multitasking between projects, you'll want something with a little more power, but if you or someone you know just wants a laptop for the essential things that aren't easy to do on your phone, this is a great deal.
Keep in mind that refurbished products may have some minor cosmetic imperfections that show signs of wear. Also note that these two laptops no longer receive ChromeOS updates, which means even though the laptop works, you won't get new features found in any future ChromeOS updates.

DJI Osmo Mobile is a smarter handheld stabilizer for your phone (hands-on)
DJI Osmo Mobile is a smarter handheld stabilizer for your phone (hands-on)
The camera stabilization tech that makes video from DJI's drones look silky smooth is now available for you to use with your phone.
The $299 Osmo Mobile (AU$499, £289) is a three-axis motorized gimbal with an adjustable phone mount. The gimbal uses its motors to counteract any shake or movement to keep all your shots steady -- whether you're standing still, riding in a car or chasing your kid down the sideline.
The stabilization in and of itself doesn't make the Osmo stand out from other phone gimbals. What makes the Osmo Mobile different is the DJI Go mobile app. Once you connect your phone to the Osmo via Bluetooth, the app gives you full control over the camera and a couple extras to take advantage of the stabilizer.
One of those is ActiveTrack, a feature borrowed from DJI's drones, which lets you follow a subject simply by drawing a box around it with your finger. Once it locks on, the gimbal will pan and tilt automatically to keep the subject in your shot.

Another feature, this time taken from DJI's Osmo cameras, is Motion Timelapse. Instead of the static timelapse clips you can capture with other cameras, the Osmo Mobile lets you capture the passing of time while the camera tilts and pans through a scene at the places you choose.
The Osmo Mobile can also take high-resolution panoramas by snapping nine photos as it pans across a scene and then stitches the shots together. The Go app will let you live stream to YouTube and -- thanks to the stabilization -- take handheld long-exposure shots.
On top of that, you get physical controls like a joystick for panning and tilting the camera and separate record and shutter release buttons. The joystick is customizable, too, with adjustments for sensitivity as well as inverting pan and tilt, or locking it to only do one or the other. You can also just manually move the camera with your hand into position so you can set your shot just right.
A trigger on the front falls under your forefinger. Press and hold it and the camera locks position so you can raise and lower your hand while the camera stays aimed on your subject. Double-click the trigger and it centers the camera, while a triple tap switches your phone from the back camera to the front for selfies on the fly.
Though there is no tripod mount built into the grip, there is an accessory mount on the left side that works with an extension rod, which in turn can be mounted on a tripod. DJI also sells bike and vehicle mounts that can potentially turn your phone into a stabilized action camera.
A removable battery in the handgrip is rated for up to 4.5 hours of use and can be fully charged in 2.5 hours. An extra battery runs $35, £28 or AU$59.
I'm still testing out the Osmo Mobile. But so far it's an impressive device and it's competitively priced against other gimbals that don't offer nearly the same amount of features.

See Death Valley's 1,000-Year Flood From Space
The driest place in North America bucked its reputation on Aug. 5 when a 1,000-year rain event dumped water onto Death Valley National Park in California. The deluge damaged miles of roadway and forced visitors to shelter in place. NASA satellites tracked the flooding from orbit.
NASA's Earth Observatory shared the views from space on Wednesday. One image is from July 11 and shows normal conditions in the park. The other, from Aug. 7, shows in dark blue where the flood waters are. The false-color images aren't quite like how it would appear to the naked eye. The colors are meant to highlight surface features like vegetation (bright green) and saturated soil (light blue).
A side-by-side annotated version of the two images shows just how much water came down on the usually parched area.
NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites logged these views of Death Vallery from July 11 (left) and Aug. 7 (right) showing the rain event of early August.

"The heavy rain that caused the devastating flooding at Death Valley was an extremely rare, 1,000-year event," said National Weather Service meteorologist Daniel Berc in a National Park Service statement on Aug. 7. "A 1,000-year event doesn't mean it happens once per 1,000 years, rather that there is a 0.1% chance of occurring in any given year."
Beatty Cutoff road in Death Valley was damaged by a historic rain event in early August 2022.
NPS/M.Clark
Preliminary data showed that nearly a year's worth of rain fell within just three hours. Furnace Creek, the location of the park's visitor center, logged 1.46 inches (3.7 centimeters) of rain. The single-day record currently stands at 1.47 inches from 1988, while the average rainfall for a year is less than 2 inches (5 centimeters).
No injuries were reported. The NPS said it could possibly take months to repair and reopen all the damaged roads.
"It is the hottest place in the world, and the driest place in North America. This week's 1,000-year flood is another example of this extreme environment," said park superintendent Mike Reynolds. "With climate change models predicting more frequent and more intense storms, this is a place where you can see climate change in action."
