This June, the 2023 Worldwide Developers Conference will kick off with a boom. Typically, the conference focuses on software and developer content, but this year, it’s rumored the event will see a handful of new Apple hardware launches. Most notably, fans may see a new set of Macbook models drop at the convention, with a new ‘entry-level’ 13-inch Macbook Pro expected to debut this summer, alongside new MacBook Air models and an updated 24-inch iMac. All of Apple’s new products are expected to launch in 2023 — if not early 2024 — but these specific computers will run on the M2 chip instead of the M3.
Today we’re taking a look at a durable hatchet, recovery shoe and Moncler’s Grenoble collection. This is Today in Gear.

This Self-Leveling Tripod is Changing the Game

For over 30 years, Benro has been manufacturing (and optimizing) tripods. Now, they’ve released their greatest gear yet: The Theta. This self-leveling tripod is designed to auto-level, lock in place and stay steady through your whole shoot. It’s been designed for fast deployment, with quick locking mechanisms equipped across the legs and top. As a result, fans can deploy (or store) the full tripod in just 10 seconds. Plus, it weighs in at just 2.3 pounds, so you can take it anywhere. Plus, for a limited time, fans can enjoy this product at the highest discount ever via Kickstarter. There, they can also extend their warranty another three years, to secure a long-term six year warranty in total.
