Deciding on which travel tripod fits you, and your travels best can be a difficult decision because there are tons of great ones on the market these days. With the release of the Peak Design Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod the decision has not been made any easier. The travel tripod by Peak Design is something that has definitely intrigued me for a while now because quite frankly, it’s pretty innovative. In some ways, one could argue it’s a new way of looking at how a tripod can be made. I had the opportunity to test it out, and here’s what I think of it. [continue reading…]

Nikon Z5 Mirrorless Camera First Impressions:
Full frame cameras are getting cheaper these days, which is great. Yes, we still have the super expensive stuff but nowadays, you can get a decent full frame kit for the price of an APS-C or even M43 kit. Take for instance, the new Nikon Z5. Ever since I heard about this camera, I’ve been really interested in reviewing it because I am a fan of the Nikon Z system, and at $1,396.95, it is right within the price range of my Fuji X-T3. In fact, it’s actually cheaper than the newest model, the X-T4. So, let’s take a closer look at it right now. [continue reading…]
Gitzo Mini Traveler Tabletop Tripod Review:

6 Photo-Related Activities to do Under Self-Isolation:
Like most of you, I’ve been self-isolating because of the corona virus pandemic, and while I’m still working, and producing content for this blog, I’m not currently doing any shoots with people/models right now.

Well, here are 6 photo-related activities I’ve been doing to pass some of my extra time. [continue reading…]
Billingham Hadley Pro 2020 vs. Hadley One vs. Billingham 207:
I get a lot of questions in my DMs, and email about the Billingham Hadley (now the Hadley Pro 2020). The most common ones are will all my gear fit, and how does it compare to the Hadley One? So, I decided the best thing to do is write up a comparison between these two bags. I thought as a bonus, I’d also add the Billingham 207 into this comparison as well, since I recently reviewed it. Before we get started though, I just wanted to say that this article is only a comparison between these three bags; I’ve written big reviews with plenty of pictures in them for all three of these bags along with nearly the entire collection from Billingham. So, if you’re interested in any of the reviews, you can find them here. Okay, let’s get started. [continue reading…]
