“The 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. ”

Nikon D780

“The D780 is widely reported to have the same sensor as the Z 6, which in itself would make it one of the best cameras ever produced for night photography. The D780 feels familiar, but offers improvements in image quality and user experience in line with what you would expect from a next-generation model. If one hasn’t been eager to jump on the mirrorless wagon, the D780 offers some excellent reasons to stick with a DSLR.”

Coast FL75R Rechargeable Pure Beam Focusing Headlamp

BenQ SW240 24.1" 16:10 PhotoVue IPS Monitor

“99 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.”

— Matt

Everyday Sling

“The 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.”

Acratech GPSS Ball Head

“The GPSS is the perfect match for your traveler style tripod. Made with the same durability as the GP, it has a smaller base so that when you invert your 180 legs they can wrap around the head. Invest in the lever clamp model—it is the ultimate in ensuring your camera remains locked into the ball head.”

“We 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!”

“The ultimate making sure your camera stays powered all night long! Choose the right connection to your specific camera, connect to the Case Relay, and then add any USB battery pack! Add the strapmore connection to keep it all organized and wrapped around your tripod. Set up your star stack or time-lapse and let it rip. Gabe is still trying to figure out how long it lasts, his last shoot started at 12am and he shut it off at 5am and there was still juice in the tank!”
