Hello, and welcome to this outdoor-themed issue of Stuff! After a long chilly time, we’re finally able to get back to the great outdoors – and naturally, we’ve got all the gear you’ll need this summer for stacks of different activities you might wisely/unwisely attempt, whether you’re an experienced cyclist or just dipping your toe into wild swimming. If you’ve been after an electric bike (and have some savings), there’s a bunch of those too, plus lots of cool bits for camping, paddleboarding and trail running. Finally, we’ve rounded up a gaggle of drones and action cams so you can watch back all your exploits. Oh, and we’ve even got an extra section on fitness tech specifically, including GPS watches, fitness trackers, smart scales and heart-rate monitors as well as…

Founded in 2018, Murena is all about offering an out-of-the-box privacy-enabled smartphone experience. In the case of the Murena One, that also means solid specs including a triple-camera system with 48MP main sensor… and this month’s competition gives you a chance to win not one but THREE of these handsome handsets! The Murena One embeds the privacy-enabling operating system/e/OS, which runs on Android without parts of code that collect and send data to Google servers. /e/OS does not collect data in apps and cloud services, nor track your location hundreds of times a day. It’s still compatible with any Android apps that can be downloaded via App Lounge ‒ offering more transparency and increased privacy, and allowing anonymous sign-up. As well as three Murena One handsets, the lucky winner will…

REGULAR ROTATORS The sucky slurper Tefal Freshboost Vacuum Fire fruit into your vacuum cleaner and you’ll break it. Stick it in this blender instead and you’ve got a recipe for freshness: by sucking air out of the mixing jug before blitzing, the Freshboost halts oxidation. Tefal claims the result is a longer-lasting smoothie with up to three times more antioxidants. £59 / tefal.co.uk The easy extractor Nutribullet 600 Series This is the blender that began the trend: a compact processor with a 600W engine. Pack it with nutritious bits, push and twist the cup, and its blades will liquidise the lot at 20,000rpm. Simple by design, its button-free build makes it easy for smoothie newbies to drink it all in. £70 / nutribullet.co.uk The smoothie sensei Ninja Blender BN500UK You…

● Rocket League Sideswipe Football with flying cars. That’s the premise of Rocket League, which in this mobile incarnation is a side-on affair that also dips into basketball and volleyball. The structure exists for IAP hell, but instead everything is unlocked by progress. Maybe you could argue the entire game is an ad for the console title; but even if that were the case (and it’s not), playing it’s a blast. £free / Android, iOS ● PewPew Live Another game with a foot in the past, PewPew Live draws from twin-stick shooters like Robotron: 2084 and Geometry Wars. Five official modes keep your thumbs busy, dodging enemies and blasting away, or tackling the prettiest take on Asteroids we’ve ever seen. And if you tire of those, get your GitHub on…

£220 / go.stuff.tv/ArloPro5 ■ Arlo’s home security cameras have traditionally been very good indeed – and this latest generation of the Pro indoor/outdoor cam switches up a few key features, while working with a redesigned Arlo Secure app. Just as with rival devices like Ring’s lineup, you’ll need a subscription (£3.49/m) to get the most out of the camera and be able to save your video to the cloud. ■ The key enhancement this time around is a 12-bit sensor (instead of 10-bit) delivering 2K colour video 24hrs a day. The improvement is clear and the quality of the video is super-crisp, though it lacks the 4K resolution of the higher-end Ultra series. Arlo says the sensor is around six times better than that of the Pro 4, with the…

from £749 / go.stuff.tv/DysonZone Trying to reach a verdict on the Dyson Zone is like trying to catch a falling jelly – you can grasp it, but you won’t catch it. But we need to catch the jelly. Dyson’s recent publicity material has put more emphasis on the audio, calling them “headphones with air purification”, which does clarify how we should probably see this product: music first, purification as the add-on. The price may be eye-watering but there’s some stellar bespoke tech on show here: there are 11 mics, for example, eight of which are for advanced noise-cancelling because of the air compressors. The air spinners in the earcups, meanwhile, have custom flexible mountings to kill vibrations. Our initial verdict on Stuff.tv a year ago called this “the wildest gadget…

£1200 / go.stuff.tv/rog7u DAY 01 You’re lucky if you even get a charger in the box with most phones these days, but the Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate comes bundled with something that’ll leave you in no doubt that it’s serious about gaming. The AeroActive Cooler 7 is a USB-powered clip-on accessory that combines a thermoelectric chiller and a cooling fan to slash CPU temperatures by as much as 25° while playing. The whole thing lights up with rainbow LED effects, and there’s even a tiny kickstand built in – handy for watching videos hands-free. An extra USB port on the side lets you play games with the cooler attached while charging at the same time If all that doesn’t give it away, the ROG Vision display will. This colourful…

Welcome to our bonus fitness tech section in association with Huawei! We often cover fitness gear in Stuff, but rarely in as much detail as we do over the coming pages. Spring and early summer is a mighty fine time to revisit your fitness goals from the turn of the year or establish new ones, mostly because the weather outside is a whole lot more pleasant than it was a couple of months back (at least, that’s the theory). Winter is a really hard time to establish new fitness habits, simply because the appeal of going out in driving rain and biting cold isn’t quite so compelling as sitting on the sofa and binge-watching Ted Lasso. So now’s your time. Just as in our main outdoor pursuits feature back on…

NOW ADD THESE MYFITNESSPAL The first-choice app to log your meals, MyFitnessPal lets you scan barcodes and has a catalogue of 14 million foods. £free (IAP) / Android, iOS SHAKESPHERE PROTEIN SHAKER BOTTLE For your pro-workout protein hit, this shaker is built so powders don’t get stuck in nooks. from £55 / shakesphereuk.com PROSCENIC T31 AIR FRYER OVEN Proscenic’s air fryer can serve up healthier chicken, chips and veg, with an LED touchscreen and Alexa baked in. £149 / amazon.co.uk Salter Smart Bluetooth Bathroom Scale Salter’s expertise mainly lies in the kitchen, but its Bluetooth scale is well equipped to weigh people instead of cheese. It can store weight stats like BMI and body mass for up to eight users and display them on a large LCD screen. A new…

Garmin Vivofit Jr. 3 £80 / garmin.com Garmin already serves hikers, marathon runners and even paddleboarders by letting them track their activities in great detail – and now it wants to help those not quite ready for their big hiking boots to do the same. The Vivofit Jr. 3 aims to keep your little ones moving – and its first move to make that happen is offering a design that’ll get them wanting to strap it on. Well, a rugged band with a Star Wars, Disney Princess or Marvel theme should do the trick. Garmin keeps it simple on the sensor front with just an accelerometer, which is used to count steps, track sleep and chart how much ground they’ve covered over a day. Then it’s over to those motivating…

Clueless about what today’s wearables are actually telling you? Allow Stuff to break things down for you so you’re not drowning in a sea of data that could help or hinder your quest to get in better shape. VO2 MAX This is a performance metric that will tell you how fit you are and whether your overall fitness is improving. It’s the maximum volume of oxygen that’s transferred to blood – as your fitness improves, that level of oxygen can increase, showing that the pain is paying off. RUNNING POWER A new training metric for runners that cyclists have been familiar with for some time, this analyses workrate by measuring how much work you’re doing and how fast you’re doing it. Learning to understand and use power during training can…

If you tried to ride most Acer products you’d end up with the outline of a QWERTY keyboard imprinted on your backside, but the Ebii comes with more wheels than most laptops. This electric bike does have one thing in common with Acer’s usual hardware, though: it’s got artificial intelligence on board. As you ride, its ebiiAssist learns how much pedalling power you have in your legs and how much you call on the 48V 350W motor for help, and automatically adjusts the assistance provided in response. Onboard sensors will take the riding conditions into account too. If you’d rather not leave it up to the robots, there’s an ebiiGO companion app that lets you choose the mode yourself – Eco to save power, Boost when you feel the need…

£tba (£450k approx) / lamborghini.com Is Lamborghini getting sensible? Read the many headlines about this car and you might think so. But thanks to the company’s usual over-the-top Italian styling, and some fearsome performance figures that we’ll come to in a minute, the Revuelto – successor to the Aventador – seems to be about as sensible as bullfighting. But it is going green… Well, the Italian supercar maker is having a go. The Revuelto packs a 6.5L naturally aspirated V12, which isn’t very green; but the engineers have combined it with a 3.8kWh lithium-ion battery pack and a trio of electric motors. That means you can enjoy no less than 1001bhp in a car that’s a plug-in hybrid. Super, but isn’t that a little at odds with the whole point…

HARRIER CURBAR 5L RACE VEST Running with a water bottle in your hand, or your phone and keys bobbling around in your pockets, is a thing of the past thanks to the evolution of running vest packs. And likewise, if you think rucksacks are annoying items to endure, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by this new way of doing things. The Harrier Curbar pack, which we’re told was inspired by trail running at the Curbar Edge in the Peak District, is suitable for short to medium runs. It comes in six sizes to suit men and women, from taller to smaller, and for beginner runners through to dedicated race whippets. For further flexibility, its elastic straps are adjustable for both width and height. The vest pack fits, well, like a vest,…

NOW ADD THESE… SANDISK EXTREME PRO 128GB MICROSD CARD This card gives you plenty of space for storing clips and photos, and its rapid 90MB/s write speed easily keeps up with 4K @120fps recording, making it perfect for action cams. £28 / amazon.co.uk DJI OSMO ACTION BIKING ACCESSORY KIT Offering quick-release mounts for both your bike’s handlebars and your chest, this handy bit of kit is just the thing for capturing your two-wheeled exploits while staying in the moment. £59 / dji.com DJI OSMO ACTION DIVING ACCESSORY KIT Not only does this IP68-rated dive case boost the Action 3’s usable depth to 60m; its floating handle also ensures your gear won’t sink if dropped. Get ready for flexible underwater shooting. £59 / dji.com GNARLY PERFECT More shooters that are at…

1 Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max from £1199 / go.stuff.tv/14ProMax This is essentially the same phone as the 14 Pro, but with a bigger screen and a bigger battery. So on paper it’s Apple’s best ever… but while that justifies its promotion to top spot, we should point out that it’s only worth it for people who really need that extra screen space. Do you? Well, it does make photo, video and audio editing (and gaming) easier. Stuff says The latest model gives the Pro Max a real bump, though all this quality costs ● NOW ADD THIS Belkin BoostCharge Pro This solid MagSafe charging dock lets you top up your iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods. £140 / belkin.com ● Prices quoted are for handset only unless otherwise stated NEW 2…

1 Apple Watch SE (2022) from £259 / go.stuff.tv/WatchSE If you’re talking about value, the SE is the best Apple Watch hands-down. It tracks sleep and all the exercise you need, supports Apple Pay, works great with your iPhone and… what more do most people require? The user experience is broadly identical, and while the screen bezels are a bit larger than on the Series 8 it’s hard to tell them apart without getting right up close. If you want a stainless steel case you’ll have to splash out on a Series 8 – but first ask yourself if it’s really worth the extra. Stuff says Offers most of the Apple Watch Series 8 experience for a whole lot cash less 2 Garmin Fenix 7 from £560 go.stuff.tv/Fenix7 If your budget stretches,…

1 Philips 55OLED907 £2199 / go.stuff.tv/OLED907 It’s no one’s idea of a bargain, but nevertheless the 55OLED907 will be money well spent for even mild telly addicts. For once, here’s a TV with audio quality that truly matches its image quality – and be in no doubt, the image quality available here is very impressive indeed. The Ambilight illuminations are as slick as ever too. Resign yourself to a long stint sorting out the initial setup (as is always the way with Philips) and you’ll never look back. Stuff says A great OLED TV with impressive brightness and top-class audio NOW ADD THIS Apple TV 4K Fills the one hole in Android TV’s streaming lineup, and is a must if you’re all-in with Apple’s other tech. from £149 / apple.com 2 Sony…

1 Amazon Echo (4th Gen) £110 / go.stuff.tv/Echo Having morphed from a cylinder to a sphere, the latest Echo is an excellent newsreader, weather forecaster, personal assistant and intercom straight out of the box; but it’s now also a capable speaker and a very accessible smart home hub. It doesn’t sound as good as the Sonos One for listening to music, but it’s significantly smarter and considerably cheaper too. Stuff says An all-round upgrade that makes the Echo a smarter speaker than ever ● NOW ADD THIS Honeywell T6R This Zigbee-enabled thermostat is wireless so you can place it where it’s most convenient. £160 / screwfix.com 2 Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) from £55 / go.stuff.tv/Dot5 The latest Dot offers improved sound quality over the 4th Gen model. Not surprisingly given its…

1 Fujifilm X-T5 £1699 / go.stuff.tv/XT5 Fujifilm’s most popular compact system camera gets a sensor upgrade while keeping up tradition everywhere else. This means you’re getting identical stills performance to the more modern X-H2, while retaining the old X-T4’s dials and compact dimensions – making the X-T5 the sweet spot of Fuji’s lineup, and a top all-rounder. The sensor is even better at low-light shooting than before, and the wide choice of lenses means everyone will find something to like. Stuff says Slick modern internals meet the manual controls loved by Fuji diehards ● NOW ADD THIS Fujifilm XF 16-80mm f/4 This versatile lens covers a bigger zoom range than most and adapts to pretty much any requirements. £699 / wexphotovideo.com System camera prices quoted are for body only unless…

Garmin Forerunner 265 from £430 / garmin.com If you’ve ever cast your eye around at a Saturday morning parkrun and looked at the watches wrapped around people’s wrists, there’s a good chance you’ve seen a few Garmins. There’s an even stronger chance most of them were Garmin Forerunners – and while this is already a watch that runners, swimmers and cyclists love, it’s getting a whole lot more alluring with the 265. While many of the same smarts remain from the 255, the 265 upgrades things in the display department with the addition of an AMOLED touchscreen. It’s a splash of colour that elevates this sports watch’s look and crucially, doesn’t come at the expense of battery life: take your pick of the two case size options and you’ll get…

Oakley Actuator from £134 / oakley.com These new sunnies are made for runners going at a more relaxed pace, rather than hardcore self-punishers. They use Oakley’s tough polarised Prizm sapphire lenses to make sure they’re equipped to block out bright light. You can choose from five different looks, with the larger-than-average lenses making sure your eyes are well covered – and if you already wear specs there’s an option to have the prescription kind fitted, turning these into all-day shades. That’s all wrapped up in a rugged O Matter frame that’s primed to make them sit nice and snug on both short hops and longer sun-drenched runs. Nobull Track Pant CrossFit-loving brand Nobull makes its gym trousers from a mix of nylon and Spandex to give some stretch, with perforations…

NOW ADD THESE FORM SMART GOGGLES The AR goggles that display real-time swim stats inside now have over 1000 workouts that you can follow. £249 (+ £13/m) / formswim.com HYDROW WAVE The smart indoor rower is now available in a more compact form, giving you access to sessions led by rowing experts on a touchscreen display. £1595 / hydrow.com UNDER ARMOUR SLIPSPEED A gym shoe designed to handle whatever you can throw at it, the SlipSpeed uses UA Flow cushioning tech. £135 / underarmour.co.uk Garmin HRM-Pro Plus This upgraded HRM-Pro monitor means you don’t have to get a screwdriver out to change the battery… although you won’t have to think about doing that for a year anyway. It’s waterproof to 50m to track heart rate in the water, and includes…

Most robotic lawnmowers look like giant kids’ toys – but if you’d like to bring a bit of bomb-disposal chic to your back garden, the EcoFlow Blade looks like it’d be just as happy performing a controlled explosion on a suspicious-looking gnome as it is cutting the grass. Add the separate Lawn Sweeper Kit (£699) and it’ll use a combination of Lidar and an onboard camera to seek out leaves, twigs and other garden detritus, trundling around to pick it all up before dumping it in a preset location ready to be binned. It’ll use the same tech to dodge any obstacles, so it can still do its job while you catch some rays, and unlike a lot of robo-mowers it doesn’t require you to bury a boundary wire around…

THE CHASSIS IS MADE FROM A SINGLE SHEET OF RECYCLED SWEDISH STEEL What is that, a bent razor blade on wheels? Ouch. That wouldn’t make for a very comfortable commute… but due to the way it’s made, you’re probably more likely to get paper cuts off the Stilride 1. The chassis is made using an origami-like process called Stilfold – albeit with a single sheet of recycled Swedish steel rather than a slice of old tree – which means fewer pieces and less welding. That not only gives it this sharp look but also means the frame is stronger and lighter, plus the lack of paint will make it easier to recycle when the time comes to send it to the big garage in the sky. Let’s not get ahead…

I have a lifetime passion to build things. Even from a young age, I would be problem-solving and fixing things around the house for fun. I was using Lego and other construction toys to create and fix things, which was my equivalent of reading and writing. Massachusetts Institute of Technology asked me what I wanted to major in, and I simply said: “Whatever lets me build the coolest things.” MIT didn’t have a robotics degree at the time, which led me to design my own major that included mechanical and electrical engineering and a bit of artificial intelligence. In a stroke of luck, I heard about a summer job at MIT that allowed me to build robots and I instantly knew it was for me. From that moment forward, that…

RED 11ft COMPACT MSL PACT INFLATABLE PADDLEBOARD A brand leader in the world of getting wet deliberately, Red has taken its 11ft Sport MSL board and redesigned it to pack into a bag that’s half the size. This means it’s easier to transport the board to your chosen destination and easier to stash it afterwards. On the water, the 32in width and twin ‘click-in’ fins offer good stability whether you’re a newcomer on calmer rivers and lakes or an experienced paddler keen to get out in rougher conditions. The board has a narrow nose profile to cut smoothly through the water, and the increased length really does allow it to glide through the waves with ease. Riders (up to 110kg) can be sure of good grip underfoot both in the middle…

ORCA ZEAL HI-VIS OPENWATER WETSUIT If you’re planning to join the fast-growing trend for wild swimming… well, there’s always time to change your mind. But anyway, you’ll be wanting a wetsuit to keep you warm. Whether it’s the sea, a river or a lake, open-water swimming in the UK, while exhilarating, can rarely be described as cosy. That’s where the Orca Zeal Hi-Vis Wetsuit will come to your rescue. Made of Japanese Yamamoto neoprene, which is produced from limestone rather than petrochemicals, this long-sleeved and full-legged suit offers the ideal combo of insulation, buoyancy, elasticity and visibility. The arms, legs and back are highlighted in orange for safety… but we also love that it looks a bit flashy. Thermal insulation is increased with a second layer of ‘batwing’ neoprene to…

DJI AVATA The most enjoyable drone on the planet? Quite possibly. DJI’s latest FPV (first-person view) model comes with a set of strap-on goggles that put the wearer right in the ‘cockpit’ – so when it’s airborne you literally have a bird’s-eye view of the action. Palm-sized, lightning-fast, agile and highly responsive thanks to its motion-based one-hand controller, the Avata captures everything it does in beautiful, smoothly stabilised and ultrawide 4K@60fps video, allowing skilled pilots to pull off (and record) gravity-defying manoeuvres: zipping along the surface of a racing river, dipping through tiny gaps in fences or dodging nimbly through the trees in a thick forest. Ah yes, trees… moulded prop guards allow it to withstand collisions better than most, and thanks to ‘turtle mode’, it can even right itself…

THE BASICS ■ Play the numbers When editing, be mindful of pixels. The more you have, the better: blow up a small crop and the results will be bad. Also consider resolution and formats. Screens can be forgiving – you can get away with lower quality and rougher edits for social media than for a photographic print. ■ Don’t destroy Understand how the editors you use affect your files. Ideally, go for non-destructive tools that afford space for experimentation and don’t overwrite your original photos. If unsure, duplicate a photo and work on the copy. When trying out complex edits, save ‘breakpoints’ so you can always revert to an earlier version. ■ Learn to focus Photos that stick in the mind tend to be those that draw the attention to…

Noblechairs Hero Black What’s the story? German firm Noblechairs has a reputation for making fairly discreet gaming chairs that wouldn’t look out of place in the office. Its entire range is available in classy black, or you can opt for something more gamerish thanks to tie-ins with the likes of Doom, Fallout and Skyrim. They’re typically more affordable than some competitors too, while still offering lots of variety. Is it any good? This large chair has an expanded backrest that can keep both smaller and larger bodies comfortable. Matching that, everything is bigger including the armrests – so you won’t feel squashed in like you might with some bucket seats. With plenty of settings to adjust and a sturdy frame, the Hero Black feels more expensive than it is. Price…

It has all the mapping, navigation and training firepower you’ll ever need, including accuracy-boosting dual-band GPS, best-in-class route planning and detailed training insights via Garmin Connect. The screen could be brighter, but we love the custom ride profiles that make it easy to exploit all that performance data.

It’ll score your form to make sure you’re making the most of all that time spent staring at yourself. There are speakers built in to make sure trainer instructions come out loud and clear, and it can be mounted to the wall to make sure it’s not soaking up precious floor space.
