Capture Clip Pro vs SpiderPro Camera Holster Review
We recently reviewed the Sport Strap from BlackRapid which we really liked, but for some people straps are still too bothersome.

Manfrotto 405 Pro Geared Head Review

Expert Shield Screen Protector Review
I thought I was perfectly happy using the standard hard plastic Nikon screen protector that came with my D800. It does what it's supposed to do, right? It protects the screen from getting scratched without getting in the way of actually seeing the screen. Why mess with a good thing?...
