Sony’s action cams got a weird new accessory last week that allowed you to mount the thing to your canine companion. But we should have expected a new improvement to their cameras as well–and today they’ve made available a new firmware for their HDR-AS10 and HDR-AS15 cameras. The major new features are 1080p 60P video shooting (which means that you’ll be able to slow it down a lot in post) and a mode change that can be done via their PlayMemories app. However, that feature is coming in June.
This isn’t all though, there are also other new accessories.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Do you see that right there? That is one way that Spider Holster is saying that you can use their new Spider Monkey. This is a brand new product that is bring introduced at WPPI 2013. For those not familiar, this company was originally made famous by their Spider Holster, which we’ve tested and many staffers actually really like. But if you check out the video after the jump, you’ll see one of the biggest no-nos for any speedliter. Ever! Syl Arena might have a heart attack.
Now, this new product is meant specifically for accessories and they explicitly state not to put your camera bodies on it. But personally, I’d go for the HoldFast Gear [PHOTO]Belt and know that I’ve got a bit more security. Speedlites are expensive anyway! It seems like they’re also specifically targeting this at studio shooters since a light meter is shown off too.
Check out their quick intro video after the jump; and try not to cringe.

Think Tank is in the news today with three new accessories for your camera bag. The Low Rider Strap attaches a secondary bag to your rolling luggage which looks like it could come in handy if you are a professional photographer who travels a lot. The Pro DSLR Battery Holder does exactly as its name says; it holds two full-sized battery packs for either the Canon 1D or Nikon D3/D4 series cameras. Lastly, the Limited Edition Pixel Pocket Rocket is Think Tank’s CF and QXD memory card holder that was manufactured in just one production run and will be permanently unavailable once stock runs out.
Detailed photos and additional info have been included after the break.
