Midnight Shot NV-1 Night Vision Camera

Digital cameras aren't exactly the most exciting gadgets these days... that's why you can trust your friends at ThinkGeek to up the ante and deliver the Midnight Shot NV-1 Night Vision Camera. You get 5.0 megapixels and an invisible infrared flash to light up your subjects in total darkness. Or experiment with Infrared photography that lets you do crazy stuff like see through some types of fabric and materials. The Midnight Shot NV-1 Night Vision Camera is switchable between standard photography mode and infrared night-shot mode. When you enter night-shot the infrared blocking filter normally over the lens retracts to let all infrared light through, at the same time a super-bright IR LED invisibly illuminates (to your eyes) the entire scene. You'll notice that during the daytime in night vision mode you can see through some types of clothing, paper and other various thin materials. This is because infrared light can penetrate these surfaces while light visible to the human eye bounces off. The Midnight Shot NV-1 sees both visible light and infrared light, making both viewable to humans. If you want to accentuate this effect you can make your own (or buy) an infrared filter which allows only infrared light to pass through, eliminating the visible light spectrum. Here are some details.

Chainsaws are awesome tools. They've been around ever since around 1830 (look up: Heine's osteotome) and evolved into what we know by around WWII. But it's kind of hard to keep a whole chainsaw in your pocket (not to mention dangerous). Oh, but now you can. And, because it's just the perfect name, we call this chainsaw you keep in your pocket: the Pocket Chainsaw! Each Pocket Chainsaw comes curled up in a tin. Unfold the 28" chain, and you'll be instantly enamored by the high strength, heat-treated steel links and teeth. Loop on the hooks if you want to just use a finger to pull each side (great for lighter jobs), or add the hooks and then the handles for full hand pulling (for bigger jobs). Wrap the limb you wish to cut and then just pull back and forth. The Pocket Chainsaw works fast and it works clean - cutting in both directions due to the bi-directional teeth. You'll cut through a 3" limb in less than 10 seconds! Keep a Pocket Chainsaw in your car, your household emergency kit, your zombie preparedness pack - you know, anywhere you might need to cut through limbs in a hurry! Pocket Chainsaw Keep a chainsaw with you at all times - for whenever you need to do some cutting! Cuts 3" diameter limbs in 10 seconds (or less)! Made of high strength, heat-treated steel - specially coated for rust resistance. Saw in can weighs only 5 oz! 124 bi-directional teeth. Includes: saw, hooks, handles, and carrying can. Dimensions: 28" long saw (when uncoiled).
