The following is a list of more than 20 camera supports designed to support cameras in situations where traditional tripods fall short.

Speedlights have grown in popularity over the years, especially as low-cost options have begun to flood the market and make more elaborate lighting kits accessible to beginners and advanced amateurs. However, these compact on-camera flashes, while good, are still limited by their placement on or near the camera and their usually very direct lighting. Once you start comparing them to full-fledged monolights and power pack systems, their limited feature set tends to become evident. Fortunately, along with the influx of flash options a major wave

Gimbal stabilizers changed indie film production, and now it seems that they are going through their own revolution, becoming more affordable and more feature rich. The Moza Air 2 is one of the latest releases and is just compact enough to be easily handheld, while being powerful enough to support DSLRs, mirrorless, and some smaller cinema cameras. We experimented with this stabilizer for a few days and found that its useful features, well-

As photographers, we’re always on the lookout for better ways to store, protect, and transport our gear. For this reason, I welcomed the opportunity to play with Pelican’s new line of Vault Cases. These cases do an excellent job of filling the need for basic equipment protection, without the bells and whistles of Pelican’s premium line of lightweight

For those shooters who loved the Fujifilm X-T1, the X-T2 was more revolutionary than evolutionary. The Fujifilm X-T2 seemed like a completely different camera in some ways when compared to the X-T1. It just felt different. Enter the Fujifilm X-T3 and we have stepped back to the evolutionary advancement instead of a true revolutionary change (unless you shoot video, but more on that later). The X-T3 tweaks, not what was wrong

Sony was careful this year when it came to lens releases—fewer than in past years, but with much more precision and a larger impact on the mirrorless lineups. Just three were announced and each was special in its own way. Very early in the year was the compact E 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS for APS-C mirrorless, promising compactness and affordability. Come June, we received official word on pricing and availability of the monster that is the

It has been an eventful year for Canon’s lens department. Now catering to three separate systems, Canon spent 2018 building the foundation of a brand-new lens mount, filling in an important gap in its existing mirrorless system, and updating some of the most popular and prized lenses for the standby Canon SLR system.

Prolific and precise, Sigma had a fruitful 2018, with several lens releases that continued to round out its Global Vision series, as well as expand the company’s scope in terms of supported lens mounts.

This year saw Sigma continuing with this productive spirit with the introduction of eight new lenses, the adaption of many of its lenses to a new

The year 2018 has been a banner one for mirrorless cameras, and there has been no shortage of lenses to go along with them. The following is a bevy of new mirrorless lenses introduced over the past year to complement the cameras in this growing category. For the sake of brevity, unless noted otherwise, all the following lenses feature 9-bladed diaphragms for “natural-looking out-of-focus highlights,” i.e., “nice bokeh.”

Each iteration has made huge jumps over the last, though each has also been designed to balance still-photo functionality with the more popular video specs. Now, Panasonic has decided to create something dedicated entirely to its cine-minded audience: the GH5S.
