Gadget Guru: Organize, enhance your keys and tools with Keyport Pivot

The Keyport Pivot is a cool, modern and customizable tool that is easy to assemble and can be used for a variety of everyday tasks.

And it fits in your pocket.

The Keyport Pivot ($19.99) integrates keys, pocket tools and smart tech into a fully customizable, modular multi-tool.

What makes this an innovative and useful device is the add-on modules and inserts. The inserts are added inside the Pivot, while the modules are attached to the outside.

Users can add a USB 3.0 drive in sizes of 32GB or 64GB (there is also an 8GB option in USB 2.0). Other choices include pliers, a screwdriver, scissors, a pen and the Griffin multi-tool insert, which includes a bottle opener. Existing tools such as the Griffin Pocket Mini and Klecker Knives’ new line of Stowaway Tools also can be added.

The modules include a 12 lumen flashlight, a Bluetooth tracking module to pair with the TrackR app to help locate a misplaced Pivot. A 2.2-inch pocketknife module can easily be removed for TSA travel.

To combat one of the biggest problems associated with keys – losing them – the Pivot comes with a two-year subscription to KeyportID, an online service that uses the serial number engraved on each unit to connect owners and finders directly and anonymously with a click.

The pivot is available in red, black or silver and comes with an extension pack, three spacers and an extra spring washer, and there are several optional add-on modules.

Wearable camera

For millennials or anyone desiring to record every step, motion and life moment, the FrontRow wearable camera ($399) is a great way to record and share everything in real time.

The circular pendant Android-based camera can be worn around the neck or attached with a clip.

There are two cameras: One is an 8-megapixel main camera, and the other is a reversible 5-megapixel camera.

Both work for still images, videos and live streaming to social media since Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are built-in.

Audio is captured in stereo and there’s a built-in 1W mono speaker for playback; there’s 2GB of internal ram and 32GB of internal storage.

A first-person time lapse feature called Story Mode allows the FrontRow to take a photo every few seconds and then combine into a time-lapse video.

The battery provides about 2 hours of recording and 50 hours of standby.
