There are a number of waterproof covers you can use to keep your camera dry, from the high end complete with custom eye piece, to the make shift plastic bag and elastic bands! And now there’s another option, in the form of LensCoats RainCover. This sits nicely in the middle ground of ways to keep [...]
With the Christmas season upon us, I just wanted to remind you all that if you buy any Think Tank products via my blog and spend over $50, you can choose from one of eleven free gifts (with some valued at almost $36) to add to your order at checkout. The full list of these [...]

This is one of the best bags I’ve ever used! If you travel by air with either a lot of camera gear, or one of the big telephotos such as a 600mm, the Airport International v2.0 is well worth a look. Not only is it designed to fit within all International carry-on sizes, but it [...]

I thought it would make a better storage bag for travel and use out in the field than the standard one supplied with my Gitzo 3551. Well, if this little bag is anything to go by I’ll certainly [...]
