It’s Getting Cold, Bundle Up Your Camera Lens

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.

Go Fork Yourself With FridgeFork

I’m pretty sure that next to this NES Coffee Table, the FridgeFork is the single greatest invention of the millennium. I’m convinced that everyone who owns a refrigerator (sorry, Beirut!) will feel the same after giving it a try, though I admittedly haven’t gotten to try it hands-on yet.

Basically, it’s a utensil stored on the outside of the jar. It snaps on via a plastic ring and allows you to serve condiments with ease. It’ll prove invaluable when you go to add just a teensy bit of horseradish to that sandwich of yours, trust me. Besides, at $6, you picnic-goers will find it indispensable.
