At first glance, I would have sworn this was some engine for a small motorcycle, but then I thought to myself, “Wait, engines don’t have lenses.” No, what I saw wasn’t an engine at all. This was some sort of camera. And a Canon DSLR at that. As it turns out, this is Swedish Chameleon’s way of compressing a whole bunch of photographic features into one awkward, yet completely usable, DSLR rig. Swedish Chameleon aims to reduce the size of... Continue reading

Since cameras became a portable medium, the form factor, aside from size differences, have remained relatively unchanged. With the new compact hardware and constantly increasing quality, is it time we started to rethink the form factor of the DSLR camera? Yaniv Berg takes a fresh look at the way we interact with our cameras with his periscope-styled handheld designed for shooting from the hip. Many photographers have taken on the challenge of shooting from the hip in order to gain... Continue reading

Monsoon season is just around the corner. And you know what that means. Massive rainfall in a short amount of time. For a photographer, just the mention of rain can cause your anxiety level to rise. That’s why something like the ThinkTank Hydrophobia Rain Cover can come in such handy if you’re in a heavily moist climate. Zipping right around your DSLR camera and up to a 70-200mm sized lens, the Cover keeps your photography safe from a raindrop gone... Continue reading

The Phone-O-Scope, by iPhone mod extraordinaire Bhautik Joshi, is an optical coupler which allows you to attach an SLR lens to your iPhone. If you’ve been looking for a way to add some DSLR power to your camera phone, an app probably isn’t the way to go, especially when you can get the real thing with a roll of duct tape and a little tinkering. The lens adds some really powerful SLR features, such as vastly improved DOF.

Erin Fong’s Nova DSLR concept reestablishes everything we thought we knew about DSLR camera design and recreates it in a novel way. The Nova features a swiveling wing-like design which makes the device more ergonomic and, all-in-all, more stable. I imagine camera shake would also decrease with this design as both hands should balance and compliment each other well.

OK, so I’ve had a nice DSLR for a few years, as well as some point-and-shoot cameras. The problem is, I hardly ever bring them out for shoots since you need to bring a tripod and tripods suck. They’re cumbersome; a real pain in the ass to carry. Luckily, there’s a product for ten bucks that isn’t a concept and is usable almost anywhere. It’s this Bottle Cap Tripod. It fits almost any standard water or soda bottle, so your... Continue reading

The Dude doesn’t like the fucking Eagles, man, but he sure does love to bowl. “Capture” the feel of The Big Lebowski with this DSLR bag from Acme Made. At $40, it’s one of the most inexpensive camera bags available and it clearly would put you on The Jesus’ good side. Though there’s not a lot of room for lenses and extra crap like card readers and cables, it’s still a great bargain. Just remember what happens when you fuck... Continue reading

So I grabbed the DSLR and a FedEx box and went crazy. Here’s a bunch of pics of the new Sidekick, as well as the new Sidekick being compared to a Sidekick LX for scale. Enjoy!

Since purchasing a DSLR last year, my major problem hasn’t been related to having a good time, but rather endlessly worrying if my camera will be lost, stolen or broken. I haven’t had a chance to use the Eye-Fi wireless SD card yet, but I’ve heard plenty of good things. Now I have another reason to pick one up: security. Seems the Eye-Fi software will let you know what happened to your camera if it gets within range of an... Continue reading

DSLR’s can be tricky when you’re trying to get those ultra-tight macro shots, especially without a detachable viewfinder, since your body has the tendancy to cast a shadow on your subject. If you don’t have the right lenses, you might as well be using a point and shoot. While a wide assortment of point and shoots take macro shots pretty well on their own, the Marumi LED Macro Ring allows you to shine a little light on your super small... Continue reading
