Here’s an easy way to not only make your giant camera lens more portable but also mask it from unsuspecting wildlife. LensCoats are custom lens covers that are available for a wide variety of lenses and extenders. It offers protection from bumps, jars and nicks, while also providing a thermal barrier which protects your equipment from becoming frozen in ice.

In addition to the camouflage design, the LensCoat is also available in black; just in case you don’t want to embarrass yourself during a more “suburban” shot. Prices can range from around $20 for the camera bag (shown on the left) to around $80 for multi-segmented lens covers (shown on the right). No doubt you’ll be photographing in harsh conditions at some point or another, so make sure you’re prepared.

Shipwrecked? No worries. I’ve got this Seascout aquatic rescue robot. It replaces all the bikini-clad Baywatch babes you wished would rescue you. Pamela Anderson can’t swim in hazardous conditions even with flotation devices, but Seascout can.

The idea is that anyone stranded in the water could use a GPS tracker to summon the rescue robot to come scoop them up and bring them safely to shore. With internal lighting, a sunroof and a radio system, your rescue shall certainly be a pleasant one. Listening to REO Speedwagon after a near-death experience is the first step in recovery they say.
