Are you powered up to do some serious shopping? I know I am. We're continuing our holiday gift guide with some ideas for adventurers and old school gamers alike. Here's Eric Land Groner. I'm back here with John Velasco, senior editor over at Tom's Guide. John, uh, Ecoflow wants to give people the gift of power this winter and really all year round. So we've got a couple of pretty incredible portable devices, um, starting with this one. This one's pretty cool. Take a look at this. This is the Ecoflow Trail Series. It weighs about 4 pounds, has a handle for you to take. Pretty much anywhere on your adventures, you could charge it up your phones, your cameras, can provide 220 to 300 watts of power, recharge it via your car or solar panel when you're on the go. This is really great. Now in front of you, we've got the Rapid Pro. Yes, I actually test this out on Tom Scott and what I like about this one, Eric, is that it can actually charge some laptops. It's that powerful, up to 3000. Watts of power has a built-in cable, so you don't have to bring that cable yourself, and it's all in this nice compact size something to throw in your backpack, great for charging your devices on the go. So this is the Delta 3 Ultra Plus also from Ecoflow. It's a portable power station and I mean it's really designed to power everything. It's a 3600 watt output. They've got a storm guard mode which monitors severe weather alerts and then automatically triggers AC charging. It's got a 48 minute fast charge on it. Also 11 outlets and inputs. It can keep all the essentials going in and outage for up to 10 hours. That's without the extra battery add-ons like you can power your fridge, your TV, and your other essentials. Now what we have plugged into this, we actually have a number of things plugged into this right now, including a projector, but Love this one. This, if you are into nostalgia like I am, the arcade one up Pac-Man here. This is the deluxe version that they have over at Pass Buy. This is pretty amazing. Uh, I mean, really, all the artwork looks like the original, sounds like the original, the joystick feels like the original. This is one of 14 games on it, including Gallagher and Rolling Thunder. What do you think? It's great. It gets the nostalgia. And we're dead. OK, keep it right here for our next segment on News 12.

Gadgets and gifts galore at News 12 this weekend. We're taking a look at some hot must-haves for the holidays. Here's Eric Land Groner. Back here with John Velasco with our ultimate holiday gift guide right now. John, you've got this one here. This is the O-light. Yeah, this is the modern day flashlight. What they changed the design, the O-light Arc Pro Ultra, you have your flashlight. It has a UV light too, um, and the other thing here is that it has also a green laser pointer. It's the modern flashlight reinvented, it's compact, portable, lasts forever and. bright too. All right, so let's move on to the next item here. This is a portable printer, yeah, for your family this holiday season. You want to print out your photos. This is the HP Sprocket. It does 2 by 3 prints. You can see what it looks like right there. There's no ink involved, so it prints out everything directly onto the paper. It holds 20 paper inside, and then you just buy that at $10 apiece for 20. That's all you need. That's pretty amazing. And the next one is a dash cam. Yes. The last one here is for your dash cam for your car. This is a Pico 2K, very compact, no screen, no nothing to worry about. It's super compact. You just set it, forget about it, and the cool thing I like about this parking mode. If someone hits your car by accident, it will automatically trigger and record that event. OK, John, in our next segment we're gonna go over the gift of entertainment and a little communication with one of the newest smartphones on the market, so stick with us.
