We previously reviewed the SteadiCam Smoothee, and thought it was just alright. Tiffen is expanding on their Steadicam line though and this time they’re targeting to GoPro customer. Though the Smoothee was marketed as being able to work flawlessly with the GoPro cams, this new one is sporting an aluminum frame, standard GoPro quick release mount and a collapsible handle for compact storage and portability or for use as a GoPro hand grip.
To ensure that you get stable footage, there is a fine tune adjustment knob for balancing–which should ideally be set before you even start moving around. That shouldn’t be so tough as this thing weighs half a pound.
The Steadicam Curve doesn’t have a final release date or price yet, but we should expect that soon.

For most of us who know about Domke bags. Little has changed in 30 years for its designs. They were created because a man had a problem to solve and in solving that very problem he get’s into the camera bag business. That’s how Jim Domke came to be. His bags served a purpose as a standard for photo journalists. But, with time these bags needed a certain something to be in today’s market. That something was a little style. Thanks to the sharp eye of Tiffen’s Creative Director, Patty Nast Canton–this is the result.
We were able to see the prototypes of the Journalist, Adventurer, Visionary and the Metropolitan bags.
