The ShowOff Super Mount is the most versatile phone mount on the market, transforming any smartphone into a personal photographer, body cam, dash cam, and more instantly. Highlight your hikes, stream your hardest routines at the gym or snap progress pics from anywhere with one easy-to-use device!

Entrepreneur and adrenaline junkie Josh Holder, invented the ShowOff Super Mount to bring simplicity and affordability to those trying to capture their active lifestyles on tape.

“I didn’t want to have to purchase a whole new piece of equipment that I would—honestly—probably forget to charge or end up leaving at home,” said Holder. “My phone already does everything, and I never leave the house without it—it just needed a boost.”

The ShowOff Super Mount uses an innovative magnet system to secure phones to clothing, motorcycle tanks, rearview mirrors, and more. There are no tangled cords, chargers, or memory sticks, and users don’t have to learn new software in order to access and edit their videos. In fact you can share your adventures immediately! The pocket-sized Bluetooth remote enables you to take hands-free pictures and videos from up to 30 feet away with an easy, safe, and residue-free removal.

A sleek and thin design, and advanced magnetic technology enabling you to mount your phone to just about any surface, in any situation. The new anti-slip and anti-scuff pads are explicitly designed to keep your phone secure – while capturing unforgettable moments!

“I am constantly doing something that should be caught on film, but the devices I was accustomed to using were just too cumbersome,” said Holder. “Playback was never easy, editing was always a pain, and keeping track of chargers, cords, and memory sticks was not my strong suit. I needed an easy way to use my phone the same way I would typically use a body-cam, which is how The ShowOff Super Mount was born.”

Each ShowOff Super Mount comes with the magnet pack, sticky mounting pads, and the Bluetooth remote. Customers can choose from singles, doubles, or a four pack for the whole family all while enjoying free shipping. The ShowOff Super Mount starts at $34.99 and is available as a bundled deal for extra savings.

Alicia Bell and Telus Present - Living Better With Samsung S6

I have such a busy schedule! Not only am I a personal trainer in busy downtown Toronto, Canada,  but I also work for a water company (GP8 Sportwater) and I am also an athlete who trains to compete in the Ontario Physique Association (OPA) bikini category.

My life is filled with fitness, nutrition, travelling and social interactions. Sometimes it is hard to keep track of not only my own goals and activities but also my clients and other business adventures. I have to keep a very tight schedule, so for me timing is everything.

Since getting the new Samsung S6 from Telus  I have been living better! I love to take pictures and video of my clients training, my own workouts, the food I eat and the day to day activities and events that I attend. I have found that the Samsung S6 really captures these moments. Its dynamic, ultra-responsive camera captures the true-to-life brilliance of any moment throughout my day. It also has a quick launch camera so that I can pull out my phone and quickly (under a second) launch the camera to take an in the moment photo.

Another convenient feature for me is the quick unlock finger print option. Instead of keying in a password (which you can also do) you can use your very own finger print to quickly unlock your phone. It was very easy to set up and when I need to open my phone fast to read a message it only takes a quick second  to unlock from being secure.

Another one of my favourite features is that it has a super charger. What does this mean? It means that because I am always on the go I can plug the S6 in for just 10 minutes and get up to 4 hours of battery life!!!! When you take as much photos as I do and you are constantly travelling from one place to another and listening to music this is crucial. I don't have the time to leave my phone plugged in for hours at a time.

The apps that I have found useful on the Samsung for my busy and active lifestyle are:

S- Health: This app you can personalize and sync your health data with your Samsung account. You can choose your personal units of measurements and receive notifications of events in the status bar. Within the app you can download extra things. I use the Workout Trainer (if I need a quick workout for myself), Recipes & Nutrition(for finding healthy recipes) and the Hydro Coach (for recording my water intake). There are so many useful apps to help with staying on track and these three are just a few. You can completely personalize the S Health and the apps that you use within it for whatever your goals are.

The phone can also counts your daily step count and allows you to adjust your goals for the count. I have it at 10, 000 steps per day. The only downfall is that if you don't have the watch to go with the phone you have to have the phone in your hand or in your pocket for it to keep track.

The sleep tracker is also key. As an athlete and trainer I cannot express how important sleep can be. If you don't get enough sleep your body will be high in cortisol. A stress released hormone that can trigger your body to store fat. Keeping track of your sleep will help you with your fitness goals.

Another awesome feature with the phone is that it actually has a heart rate sensor that allows you to instantly measure your heart rate and record it. This is great when training because it allows you to check if you are working in the right zone for your goals when you are doing an intense training or cardio session.

I also use the food recording within the S Health application. This can let you see what you are eating and how many calories are in it. Its great to achieve your goals. Whats also really cool is that if you haven't recorded anything for the day it will ask you if you feel like tracking your food? It will also remind you. Which is great if you are as busy as I am and often forget.
