No spy kit can be complete without the Mr iSpy Digital Camera Binoculars. You’ve got the sunglasses and the night vision goggles all that’s left to make you a master of espionage gadgetry is a set of bins with a built in camera. There are no fiddly controls to wrestle with as long as you’re in focus you just press a button and bam – you get a picture of whatever it is you’re looking at in glorious 1.3 megapixel detail. The fun doesn’t stop there – you can even shoot film. Of course it’s not just Bond wannabes that can enjoy this cracking binocular/camera hybrid – if you fancy yourself a bit of an amateur twitcher (that’s birdwatcher to you and me) these are great to start out with and they won’t cost you a fortune. Plus there’s the added benefit of not wasting time reaching for a camera if a lesser spotted shoe finch happens to land outside your hide.

The Robotic Arm kit arrives disassembled and contains all the pieces you’ll need to make your very own desktop droid. It’s remarkably easy to set up  so you don’t need to stress about soldering or advanced electronic engineering. Once it’s finished you’ll have hours of fun finding out exactly what it can and can’t do using its controller to power the five joints and motors to swing the arm around and pick things up with its pincer like grippers.
