What’s starting upon over at Joby? The all-conquering builder of bendy, magnet-tipped prehensile tripods is solemnly branch into a flashlight association. The latest lamp is a Gorillatorch Switchback, a weird multiple of lighting device as well as headlamp.

Having brought out a flexible tripod in every probable distance, Joby is intent on you do a same for battery-powered lighting. The Switchback starts off as the splendid, dim-able lantern whose LEDs heat from 5 to 130-lumens in white or night-vision-preserving red. It’s perfect for telling spook stories around a campfire.

But afterwards, when you find which you’re camping in Blair Witch country, you can cocktail out a headlamp territory, widen its rope around your noggin as well as foolishly head off to explore. Alternate uses are starting down to investigate the sound in a attic, or checking out a questionable sound in the behind yard after all the residence lights mysteriously go out.

The Switchback runs upon the span of AA batteries, as well as will last for up to 72 hours, enough to last until a FBI’s serial-killer section comes to help you out of a underground pit in that you are now detained. $60, together with a vestigial tripod.
