Think Tank sent over one of their highly sought after roller bags – the Airport Takeoff. Think Tank has designed a transportation solution that combines the portability of a backpack with the ease of a rolling suitcase with the Airport Takeoff. We’re heading to NAB 2012 next week and needed something sturdy, reliable and light [...]

I often talk about how much we use the Tekkeon MyPower Portable Battery Pack. I’ve recently gotten a few questions about alternatives for portable battery power while on the go. I stumbled upon the PowerBag Deluxe the other day and discovered that beyond the backpack, there is a Messenger Bag and a Sling Bag and [...]

For shooting video underwater with the Canon s100, I had DiCaPAC baggies. The DiCaPAC worked well, no water got inside and despite the fact that we were taking the lens attachment off and on repeatedly in the sand and water, we experienced no water damage to the camera. The pack comes with silica gel packs [...]

The LowePro Slingshot 202 AW which is usually around $120 is going for less than $70 on eBay right now. The Slingshot 202 looks like it holds a nice amount of gear with modular dividers and compartments for odds and ends. Shooters who need fast access to their backpack use the sling to slide the [...]

Here in Maui, i’m taking the Sony NEX-7 out for a more thorough review (I love it BTW). I’m using the lightweight shoulder pad on a Carry Speed camera strap system. There’s a PMA Las Vegas interview with Carry Speed (found here). Carry Speed is quick to attach or remove from the camera. The camera [...]

Over at MacWorld San Francisco, we had a chance to check out Tutto. Tutto is collapsible, strong luggage that can transport your camera gear and lenses worry free. Tutto has 4 360º rotating wheels, a strong honeycomb panel inside the bag that protects your camera gear from being crushed and sports a solid sturdy metal [...]

Talking to Tim over at PMA CES 2012 in Las Vegas, he shows us the unique CarrySpeed camera straps and adapter. A small ball head attaches to a special camera plate which hangs the camera offset and still allows use for a tripod adapter quick release. The adapter allows the camera to rotate in all [...]

Chris from ThinkTank photo shows us four of their roller bags at PMA CES 2012. I’m a huge fan of the design and build of ThinkTank products so I was especially excited to take a peak at their roller gear. These bags take the term “secure” to a whole new dimension! Chris shows us the [...]

Last year I saw Edelkrone at NAB 2011 and was blown away by their transforming rig system. The only down side was the sky high price point and the fact that you couldn’t get the product easily in the US. Now smallHD is distributing Edelkrone camera rigs for the US and Canada, this is awesome [...]

Talk about keepin’ it old school. As if the twin lens reflex camera wasn’t vintage enough, it actually sharpens WOODEN PENCILS! I vaguely remember those things. Hobbyist and camera geeks alike could totally use a desk ornament such as this. I know I just ordered one, haha. “Tech” Specs Adjustable sharpness knob Shavings pull-out tray [...]

So many of you mentioned that you use and love your Street Walker Pro so I was really curious to test it out myself. Think Tank sent over their Street Walker Pro for me to test out and review, here is what I found. I currently own the Retrospective 5 for my micro 4/3 GH2, [...]

I’m in Mexico right now trekking around the Yucatan. My tripod has been a best friend of mine, especially in low lighting conditions. Traveling with gear and maintaining a light load can be challenging and no one wants to be bogged down with equipment while they’re in another country. In trying to lighten up, I [...]

The Retrospective 5 This bag is perfect for my micro 4/3′s cameras and the gear and lenses that I normally carry around. I’ve been looking for a bag that isn’t gaudy or too overstated as a camera bag. I really like the old school look of vintage bags but need the new school features. I [...]

YouTube user Marty posted this video comparison where you can see how the clarity of the video is affected by not only the water quality but also the surface of the lens. If you’ve ever opened your eyes underwater while you were either in the ocean or in a backyard pool, you know how blurred [...]

The R-Strap by Black Rapid is designed for just for women. This is a camera strap with all the right contours in all the right places in mind, if you know what I mean. Not only does the RSW-1 have a special cut, but it is thinner both in width and thickness. Black Rapid has [...]
