LensCoat Lens Covers
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cameras, Misc. Tech
Now that winter is coming on, keep your lens warm with a LensCoat Lens Cover. Made of closed-cell neoprene and a camouflage design to hide from critters, they come in a variety of styles and sizes. Each cover is waterproof and has a clear UV-PVC window over the controls and distance-scale window. Our fave has to be the Hoody, priced from $12.99 to $24.99. LensCoat also makes them for tripods and will customize covers for your equipment.

Launch up to 120 feet and prescreen photos with its inbuilt sensor. The protective rings open and become a tripod for use as a regular cam. The prototype is made with a biopolymar that contains a pneumatic cylinder, carbon-dioxide canister, RF transmitter/receiver, microprocessor, battery and an LCD screen.

Etsumi Digital Camera Pouch
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Cameras, Portable Audio / Video
For those who don’t do tripods or want something a little handier, Etsumi has developed a Digital Camera Pouch with built-in stand. The device is available in dark grey or pink, and comes in two models, the S-sized 60 x 25 x 90mm and the M-sized 60 x 32 x 93mm. Pre-order for $31.26 for a September 1 release date. We like that the case is tiny enough that we can sneak it into places that keep discouraging us from taking “unauthorized” pictures, namely aging rock stars who don’t want to be seen on YouTube or Flickr.

Get Ready for your Closeup with the Retro Webcam
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Design, PC / Laptop, Peripherals
We love it when today’s gadgets go “old school” on us…case in point the Retro Webcam. It’s a fully functioning webcam with microphone, perfect for video chats and stills, in 24bit RGB color. The cool thing is that it’s modeled after those Hollywood movie cameras of yesteryear, complete with tripod! So whether you place it atop your computer or keep it on the tripod, the Retro Webcam is destined to add Tinseltown glamour to your workspace…and an outlet for your Norma Desmond impressions. Available for $45 USD.

Unboxing The XShot
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Cell Phones, Misc. Tech, Movies, Product Reviews, Videos
We just received an XShot, the cool little extension device that you attach to your still or video cam that allows you long and/or panoramic shots without the aid of an extra person. Its stainless steel shaft is indeed lightweight and extends 37-inches. The screw is a standard one used on tripods and it has the tilt capability of 180º. The company claims that it will fit in your pocket when closed (9-inches,) but those would have to be some pretty big jeans to accommodate it. It does, however, have a nice lanyard for carrying and a very comfortable rubber grip. Full review and demo after the jump.

XShot Takes Pix Without a Third Person
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Cameras
Frustrated on a trip to Paris when he wanted to take pictures with his family, Michael Daoud couldn’t get a decent background. Lo and behold, the XShot was born. The telescopic rod attaches to most compact digital single-shot and video cams with a built-in thumb screw. Adjust the angle, set the timer, extend the device, and shoot away. Daoud claims that it has a reach of over 3 feet and can handle up to a 5 person shot. The XShot weighs only 3.9 oz. and will fit in your pocket when not in use. We think, aside from the ingenuity, the best part is the affordable $24.95 price tag.
