Daily gear deals – $8 “shake-n-wake”, $50 travel tripod and more

Here are the hottest gear deals for today, Wednesday April 14th 2010. Remember, these deals are often valid for just one day, so act fast before they are gone.

Today’s first deal is for the shake-n-wake. This nifty wristband alarm clock is perfect for those of us that regularly travel, leaving someone else at home. The shake-n-wake will wake you, without waking whoever is sleeping next to you. On sale for $7.97. I do recommend removing it once you wake up, because this is not a good looking watch.

Next up is a deal on noise canceling headphones. Over at the Daily Deal, you’ll find the Able Planet NC-500SC headphones on sale for $59.99 with free shipping. Click here for this deal.

Today’s third deal is for the Tamrac Zipshot tripod. This tripod is one of the lightest in the world, and can be unfolded in a matter of seconds. It obviously won’t be the best pick for a pro with a bulky dSLR, but for the rest of us it is perfect. Full review coming up later this week here on Gadling. On sale for $49.95.

And finally in today’s lineup is a three-pack of touch screen stylus pens. These pens allow you to type on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, which means you can use them when wearing gloves, or if you want to speed up your typing. On sale for $1.97. Click here for this deal.
