About 3 weeks ago, I decided to make some changes to my tripod setup in my lens testing lab, in order to make it easier, more consistent and fluid to test lenses. My decision was based on the fact that I found myself moving the tripod a bit too much...

BlackRapid Sport Camera Strap Review
Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks. I hate camera straps, they seem to always be in the way and so more often than not, I end up ditching them. Instead, I end up carrying the camera by the body or by the tripod foot when using larger...

ONA Brooklyn Review
I am not a big fan of lugging around a backpack full of gear while photographing events. That being said, I have done it ample amount of time and each time I get tired of carrying a backpack around. Even though Nasim makes it very light for me, I end...
