What's New, What's Hot is Travel Weekly's look at useful and fun travel gadgets, edited by Joe Rosen. First up, the ChargerLeash. This handy device can help keep you and your charger cable together while you are in transit. By sounding an alarm when your device is disconnected from it, the product is a gentle reminder to take that cord and charger with you or store it in a safe place until you need it again. It can also serve to warn you if someone attempts to make off with your phone while being charged at a public charging station.

The Arcopedico LS Shocks, which are lightweight, extremely flexible and easily packable, feature knitted sock-like uppers, durable shoe soles, cushioned insoles, a patented twin-arch support system and adjustable laces. The Shocks, which are great to slip on in the pressurized confines of an airplane, come in a variety of attractive colors, though only gun-metal gray and black are offered in sizes large enough for men.

Using time-lapsed, programmable photography to shoot your daily travel experiences as you live them, from one picture per second for 16 straight hours or one every five seconds for 56 hours, Blynk is designed to otherwise keep your eyes and hands free while you enjoy the sights, sounds and experiences of being on the go. Intended to be used with a free downloadable app called LyfeView, it can be set down in place or pinned to your clothes. The resulting pictures can be saved as JPEG images or AVI movie clips.

The lightweight Domke camera bag (1.9 ounces) has a lot going for it, including a padded tricot interior, a front zippered pocket large enough to store a point-and-shoot camera or other personal device, a secure shoulder strap, a carry handle, steel snap hooks, a sturdy zipper and a main compartment that can handle a compact SLR with lens mounted, extra lenses and accessories. Other attributes are a water-resistant canvas exterior, removable and movable interior dividers and a foam-cell bottom liner for extra protection.

The reversible Janska Margot wrap is a perfect companion for a woman who wants to pack lightly yet dress in style. The one-size-fits-all wrap (the average center back length is 33 inches) comes with an oversize patch pocket and is available in three colors: artichoke, paprika and slate. Each reverses to a trendy black. Made of machine-washable bonded fleece, the Margot also can double as a blanket on a chilly flight, and its shawl collar can be used as an insulator for a headrest or an eye-cover to help get some down time on a long flight.
