  Review: Garmin VIRB 360 (productReview)
  The camera itself is a fairly small and lightweight device, with fisheye lenses protruding from the front and rear.

  Review: Ring RAC 610 analogue air compressor (productReview)
  Although the manufacturer claims it can inflate a small wheel in around 4.5 minutes, you’ll need longer for the majority of today’s increasingly large car tyres, as shown by the 20-inch wheels on the DS7 in the photo above. Plugging it in and connecting it to your car’s tyre valve is very easy and intuitive, although you might miss that torch function of the 635 if you’re attempting to do it on the side of a dark road.
