Years ago I produced a comparison where DSLR’s handily crushed phone cameras, but for consumers, the battle is a LOT closer. Let’s take a quick look at some samples, and see how far phones have improved!

BACtrack C6 Review: Keychain Breathalyzer – Drink Responsibly!

BACtrack C6 review! A rad piece of lifestyle tech. A night out drinking with friends can be fun, but we want to make sure it stays fun. There’s a stigma to using products like breathalyzers out in public, but BACtrack delivers one of the most discrete products I’ve ever tested. The C6 is a breathalyzer you can keep on your keychain and it delivers police grade accuracy for a crazy low price. Track your results with an app on your phone, or help your friends and family track their drinking when out and about. I put the BACtrack C6 through its paces out in Las Vegas, here were my results!
