Review: Custom SLR Glide Camera Split Strap with C-Loop Strap Mount Solution

Glide Split Strap Overview : The Glide Strap with Split Strap Technology is designed to make it easy to draw the camera from your side. The camera glides up the strap so your are ready to shoot quickly. This strap works with the C-Loop and is compatible with the hardware from most camera sling systems. Includes everything you need to attach it to the C-Loop.

Glide Split Strap Features :

• Split Strap Technology™: Distributes weight evenly to reduce pain/fatigue and provides superior ventilation
• Unique Ergonomic Design: Conforms to shoulder for unparalleled comfort
• Swiveling Quick Release Buckles: Rotates for maximum flexibility and detaches for increased mobility
• Silicone Print: Reduces slippage
• High Quality Material and Construction
• American Design and Innovation

C-Loop Overview : C-Loop is truly a sweet, “why didn't I think of that?” solution. We designed the C-Loop in response to how the traditional top mounted camera strap always gets in the way. By relocating the mounting position to the bottom of the camera and integrating a swivel, we discovered numerous benefits that improved the shooting experience when using a camera strap.

C-Loop Features :

• Eliminate Strap Interference: Quicker access, flexibility and improved handling.
• Smooth Rotation: The C-Loop swivels 360° degrees to reduce tangling and for smooth panning
• Low Profile: Makes it easier to transition from landscape to portrait shots
• Increased Security: Lens comfortably tucks away making mobility easy in tight or crowded areas
• Compatibility: Works with existing camera straps and all devices with a tripod mount

We're Back from PDN PhotoPlus Expo 2011!

We're back from this years PDN PhotoPlus Expo at Jacob Javit's Convention Center in New York City. I'm born and raised in NYC but this weather was brutal; 45 degrees with rain early in the morning and than dropping to 35 degrees by early afternoon and turning into snow. YES! Snow in October! We hope everyone got home safe especially those from out of state.

This was definitely entertaining and fun because there was FREE SWAG! (this was the part my wife liked the most. She grabbed everything she could get her grubby hands on...LOL). Upon entering Javit's you would pick up your badge holder which is pretty much a plastic holder with Epson printed on the top with a Sony A lanyard to put around your neck. LowePro gave out press type badge holders which is of better quality with a window to show off your badge in the front and on the back is a small pocket to put business cards and 2 slots for pens. Nikon gave out 2012 calendars, Nikon neck lanyard and a Nikon 1 pin. Adorama was also there and had microfiber pouches with cleaning cloth inside. Fuji handed out free rolls of film. WesternDigital (WD) had free squishy characters and when pressed, it says "Before you lose it, back it up on a Western Digital drive!". Some exhibitors such as Drobo and Unique Photo scanned the barcode on your pass to allow you to enter into raffles/drawings.

There were live demos of products and lectures/seminars which was great and very informative. I will definitely be there again next year.

See below for additional pictures. Sorry there isn't much as we were having fun talking and chatting with all the exhibitors such as BlackRapid, CarrySpeed, Joby, ThinkTank Photo and many others.

Tutorial: How to Use Rakuten (Ebates), Mr. Rebates and CouponCabin Cashback Site

I use to walk into Best Buy, Foot Locker, Express, Walmart, Target and other stores to buy my stuff whether it be for birthdays, Black Friday, Christmas, Valentines, anniversaries, etc. But how can you save when they charge tax and don't offer much of a discount especially if you're looking for something specific? For me, I prefer to shop online for all my stuff whether its camera gear, home or personal products unless I have no choice or the store actually has a better deal.

I've been using Rakuten (formerly known as Ebates), Mr. Rebates and CouponCabin for quite some time. These are the two main cashback sites that I use often. There are a bunch of other cashback sites as well. I tend to compare between the two to see which one offers a higher cashback percentage. Sometimes, one cashback site is offering BONUS percentage and the other is not or one just has a higher cashback. So I have the flexibility of going to either one but definitely compare both to see which offers a better percentage.

Here is a list of some eligible stores out of over 2,000 stores:

• Abe's of Maine - 2%
• Abt Electronics - 2%
• Adorama - 3%
• Amazon - up to 7%
• Apple - 1%
• Beach Camera - 2%
• Best Buy - up to 2%
• Buy.com - 3%
• BuyDig - 2%
• Canon - 3%
• Crutchfield - 2%
• Dell Home - 3%
• eBay - up to 5%
• Groupon - up to 8%
• Newegg - 1%
• Samy's Camera - 2%
• Sears - 3%
• Target - 3%
• TigerDirect - 4%
• Unique Photo - 1%
• Walmart - 2%
• And many many more!

Cashback % may change without notice.

Here are some examples of my purchases: I purchased two (2) Nikon D7000's and spare batteries from Abt Electronics and received $51 in cashback. Another example was ordering $1160 worth of gear from Canon and was able to get back $47 in cashback. I've even purchased items that were a couple bucks and got back as a couple of cents in cashback. It may not sound like much but when you start accumulating the cashback, it adds up quickly.

I've even gotten cashback for purchasing hotels, car rentals and airline tickets for vacations or business trips. If you're purchasing online regardless of what it is, there's going to be cashback.

You can save pretty much on anything...electronics, baby stuff, furniture, clothing, even Groupon and eBay!

Enough with the talking, how to do I use Rakuten, Mr. Rebates and CouponCabin so I can start saving!?

The M-Plate Is A Universal Tripod Plate for Manfrotto RC2 and Arca-Swiss by CustomSLR

One draw back about camera sling straps is that they take up your tripod mount. Granted, some may have some accessories to fix that problem but it still requires you to unclip your strap from your camera. What if there was a way to leave your strap on your camera and still use the tripod? San Francisco-based Custom SLR (makers of the C-Loop and Glide/Sling Strap - full review of C-Loop/Sling Strap here) has come up with a solution that offers the best of both worlds: the M-Plate.

The M-Plate, is a new tripod plate that offers universal mounting compatibility. The M-Plate is a plate that connects to both the Manfrotto RC2 and Arca-Swiss quick release systems. It also provides an array of additional mounting points for a strap, a hand grip and a few rig products that they say are in the works.

What is the M-Plate™?
The M-Plate is a camera tripod plate system with universal mounting compatibility, integrated Manfrotto RC2  / Arca-Swiss connections, and modular attachment points.

Features of the M-Plate:

• World's first tripod plate to integrate both Manfrotto RC2 and Arca-Swiss mounts. Also compatible with other tripod plate systems.
• Quick-attach to any tripod while using your favorite camera strap systems such as our own C-Loop. Also compatible with BlackRapid, SunSniper, Spider Holster and others.
• Hand Grip Friendly. Adds hand grip function to cameras that lack the mounting point.
• The built-in M-Link port will connect with future photo and video attachments, including flash brackets and video rigs that are currently in development.

How does it attach to the camera?
The M-Plate securely fastens to the base of the camera using a threaded hex head bolt, while a protective neoprene base layer prevents the M-Plate from moving once in position. A hex key will be included to attach your M-Plate.

For more information and how you can pledge ($50 will get you one; retail will be $74.95), go to CustomSLR's Kickstarter page.

Star Trail Photography: A How To

I was introduced to star trail photography back in November. I had seen it before but never gave it any thought and didn't even really connect what it was. I stumbled about a website that explained the process and immediately became intrigued and decided I would try it for myself while on my road trip out west. Star Trail photography can be tricky, and by that, I mean that just about no 2 websites has the same information on shutter speed, aperture, ISO, etc. To make matters even more complicated, there are different methods entirely depending on if you are using film or digital (film method can be used with digital). Not to fret, I will cover both and explain the pros and cons of each.

Review: Think Tank Photo Speed Freak V2.0 Waist Shoulder Belt Bag

Overview : The Speed Convertible series are hybrid shoulder bags/belt packs designed for photographers who value versatile and ergonomic camera bags. First and foremost a contoured shoulder bag, the Speed Convertibles keep photo gear readily accessible.
