Luxli Fiddle

β€œThe Luxli Fiddle is a powerful lighting tool that gives the user complete control over the intensity and color of light for Low-level Landscape Lighting. The quality of the light is outstanding, and it can be easily modified with the nifty magnetic diffuser. The Luxli Conductor app allows the user to control multiple lights remotely, increasing their utility significantly. ”

Tenba Roller Hybrid 21

β€œFor about 20 years I used a backpack to get my gear from place to place, but as I got into my mid-40s, my back and shoulders didn’t appreciate that anymore. Using a roller saved me from suffering aches for a day or two after travel days. My roller of choice is the Tenba Hybrid. It allows me to get to and through and from airports with my pounds and pounds of gear smoothly and effortlessly rolling behind me. For those times when I do need to shoulder the load for a bit, I can quickly fold out the straps and put the bag on my back. The Roller Hybrid is sturdy and well constructed, and fits everything I need for a productive photo trip.”

Coast FL75R Rechargeable Pure Beam Focusing Headlamp

β€œI never liked headlamps until I used this one. The FL75R is comfortable to wear and easy to operate. I mainly use it for the red lamp so I can see safely without ruining my night vision, but also like the focusable white beam for seeing far off in the dark.”

BenQ SW240 24.1" 16:10 PhotoVue IPS Monitor

β€œ99 percent Adobe RGB color gamut. It takes a profile really well. I know I’m seeing as much as possible in the file. Plus, I really dig two other features: the ability to swivel to vertical any time, and the two USB ports and SD card reader built into the side.”

Everyday Sling

β€œThe perfect bag for carrying just what I need into the field for a night shoot. Fits a body, couple of lenses, a few flashlights and some accessories. And it’s easy to carry, as it slings comfortably across the chest, and is easy to swing to your back to keep it out of the way, then to swing back to your front to easily access gear.”

Vello FreeWave Plus Wireless Micro Remote Shutter Release

β€œI love the freedom of being able to walk into place, fire my camera remotely, and then begin light painting. No trying to beat a timer, running and trying not to trip in the dark. The Freewave is small, easy to use, and I love the blue LED on the receiver so I can see from far away in the dark that the shutter has opened.”

Manfrotto Bumblebee Backpack

β€œThe Bumblebee has an ergonomic design that’s comfortable to wear for long hikes, which is good, because it’s big enough to hold pretty much any camera gear I’d want to bring on a wilderness shoot. It’s also small enough to classify as a carry-on for commercial flights, making this my go-to bag for national park photo trips.”

Peak Design Everyday Messenger

β€œWe absolutely love these messengers-style bags! You’ll be amazed what you can fit inside them and how well you stay organized…and stylish! We recommend the 15” version but if you have a smaller system the 13” is a nice option. Look for their backpacks, now on kickstarter, to be available to the masses in early 2017!”
