The contest has been extended a few extra days. This contest is about doing something that really matters and now you have little more time to do so. We’re partnering with the Team in Training LA group to raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Three winners will receive a special package kindly donated by Daymen who owns Lowepro and JOBY consisting of a Lowepro Photo Hatchback backpack 16L ($100 value!), JOBY GorillaTorch ($30 value), and the original GorillaPod ($20).That’s $150 of awesome photography gear that might already be on your wishlist.
Here’s all the details for you:
How to Enter: Head on over to this page and kindly donate $10 to the cause. Your name will be put into a hat for drawing.
Contest Duration: The contest has been extended to Sunday April 14th!
And that’s it. We’ll announce the winners the next day (we promise!) in a blog post.
Around these parts, I’m known as the Kickstarter addict or at least it’s step one to admit it. Today we have a special review for you of a successful product that came from the crowdfunding forest of toys. CineSkates is that product and it is a part of the Cinetics system. The goal and purpose of CineSkates, in case you’re not familiar, is to give you smooth video pans in any direction.
I took a trip out to the Salton Sea and put the CineSkates system to the test. Let’s see how the scenes turn out in the review. [click to continue…]
It is always cumbersome to have to deal with your camera strap during a photo walk, especially the traditional ones that hang around your neck. I personally hate having to use a camera strap because most of the time, it just gets in my way and can become quite uncomfortable during an active photo walk or a hot summer day as the rubber grip likes to stick to my skin. I’ve always preferred to just go strap-less to avoid the hassle. However, I never thought to consider a shoulder strap until Joby sent us the Ultrafit Slingstrap for review. After around a week of testing, I have found a lot of good things to say about it but also some bad. Head past the break for the full review.

Joby is looking to join the latter category with their UltraFit Sling Strap and the 3-Way Camera Strap. These straps integrate comfort, style, and utility into a highly promising product.
