Do you film videos with your smartphone and need something to hold it firmly and safely? How about being able to mount accessories such as lights and a microphone? I film video for my YouTube channel on a weekly basis and I had the same problems. After searching online I found the Joby GorillaPod Mobile Rig. It seemed like the perfect fit for me. I’ve used it for a while now and love it, so I decided to write this Joby GorillaPod Mobile Rig Review.

Best Camera Strap For DSLR

I have used the Carry Speed Slim Mark III strap for years now and I find it to be the most comfortable camera strap, and it’s packed with great features.

The Best Travel Tripod? – a review of the Vanguard Veo 204AB tripod.

The best travel tripod? The Vanguard Veo 240AB may just be! Find out in the camera gear review video above.

The Vanguard Veo 204AB has been an excellent tripod for me. I have used one for many years now and find it to be a really compact tripod; it’s lightweight, has great features and packs down really small. For Nature Photography it’s a great tripod to hike long distances with. See the link above for more details.


Tamron 10-24mm f3.5-4.5 Di II VC HLD

The Tamron 10-24mm F/3.5-4.5 is my go-to lens for Landscape Photography. The ultra-wide angles you get from this lens create images that demand attention. This lens will be a great addition to your camera bag.

This beautifully crafted lens includes VC (Vibration Compensation), HLD (High/Low Torque-Modulated Drive), and a moisture-resistant construction with a Fluorine coating.

The VC (Vibration Compensation) technology makes it easy to take hand-held shots in low-light conditions such as indoors or at night.

The HLD (High/Low Torque-Modulated Drive) AF drive system gives you stable and precise focusing and also includes a Full-time Manual Focus Override. The override lets you make slight adjustments to your focus without having to switch from AF to MF.

Overall, this is a beautiful-looking lens that performs really well.


How To Clean a Camera Lens – Lens Pen Review

The Lens Pen Pro kit is excellent for cleaning all sorts of lenses and filters. I use nothing else to clean my lenses, as I’ve found the Lens Pen to be an amazing and compact camera lens cleaning solution. Click here for more information on the Lens Pen

The SensorKlear Kit is fantastic for cleaning your DSLR camera sensor too.


Camera Sensor Cleaning – the Lens Pen SensorKlear Loupe Kit

Camera Sensor cleaning is a task which a lot of beginners find daunting and are even told to avoid. It is not as hard as you think to clean the sensor of your DSLR and with the SensorKlear Loupe Kit from Lens Pen, it’s even easier. I find this kit is much easier to use than swabs with cleaning solution as I always just found them to be awkward and they made me nervous that I would scratch my sensor.


The Nikon D500

The Nikon D500 performs well for low-light night shooting and excels in fast-paced wildlife photography. It sports 153 AF points, will shoot 4K UHD Video, and can shoot at up to 10 frames per second!

The high-speed continuous shooting of this camera makes it great for Wildlife Photography – you will never miss another great shot again!
