Think of Rol-La-Tank as one of those Wal-Mart style temperary pools. You know the type, the pools featured on America’s Funniest Home Videos that collopase when big, fat Uncle Jimbo falls on one side. They are kind of like that; quick to put up and holds a lot of water. 

Lets give these storage containers a little more props though cause one burly firefighter can set up the entire thing in less than two minutes. They come in different sizes, ranging from a doggie pool size of 250 gallons, all the way up to Uncle Jimbo’s bathtub size of 3,000 gallons. Aircraft-quality aluminum supports industrial-strength vinyl liner to make up the entire unit. Starting at $650 and going all the way up to $1,500, these firefighters hot-tubs might be just the ticket for remote areas.

Japanese accessory maker Carrot Systems began to sell a flashlight [JP] last month, which is able to record video and sound via an integrated mini CMOS camera and microphone. The AD-1500 stores recordings in MP4 format on miniSD cards. 2GB can hold up to 180 minutes of video material.

The flashlight is ready for infra-red video recording (within a distance of 4 meters). Carrot Systems wants to enable police, security personnel and firefighters to record evidence at crime and accident scenes using just one device in dark areas.

The camera features 300,000 pixels and records video with 640×480 VGA resolution. Photos are saved in JPEG format.

The flashlight comes with a USB port (USB 1.1), 128 MB of internal memory and a small LCD display. It costs $800.
