Zing 545-121 HXBK1 Large Action Cover (Black) Review

Zing 545-121 HXBK1 Large Action Cover (Black)
Average Reviews:

This product is a godsend for those who find carrying a camera bag an unnecessary nuisance while walking around with an SLR. It provides adequate protection but also allows (with practice) fairly quick removal so your slr is ready to shoot in a couple of seconds or less. The elastic strap an be placed around your waist, and I've placed a carabiner on my belt to hold my slr (in the zing) steady when I don't intend to shoot anything. Effectively, with judicious adjustments (like the carabinier in my case), this little thing can actually function as a kind of compact, minimalist, lightweight bag that you can wear on your middle ike a waist bag. Be careful when you put it on for the first time, though, especially if you have a bigger than medium lens. The material is so tight and strong that I nearly dropped the camera when my hand slipped. But overall it's an excellent, unique product that looks and feels like it will give good service for a reasonable length of time.

SLR "ACTION" COVERS - Same design and sizing as the Large SLR Covers, with the addition of a removable elastic waist strap. Used in conjunction with the photographer's own camera neck strap (not included), the waist strap holds the camera tight to the body.

Vanguard VS-86 Compact Tabletop Tripod Review

Vanguard VS-86 Compact Tabletop Tripod

A nice little gadget, well worth the ~$25. Plenty sturdy enough for a Nikon d80 with 18-135 kit lens and anything lighter, which means I can use it with any of my cameras. Folds into a package the size and weight of a soda can, which makes it easy to take anywhere.
Only minor drawback I can see is the mount, which can't be (at least easily) equipped with a quick-release - this means I have to take the shoe for my full-size tripod off before I use this one.

Slik 330 DX Pro Series Black Tripod 3Way Pan/Tilt Head & Quick Release with Tripod Case + Cleaning Kit Review

This is my second DX330... I've had one for several years and have packed it all over. I can strap it under my small Tamrac backpack and go. I've dented the tubes (small dents) and it still works without issue. The feet are durable and even though there are not spiked feet, the rubber ones work great outdoors, especially on rocks. I can perch my pod between boulders without issue and my camera has never fallen. The head is simple, but works. The handles screw into one another for easy packing. I don't use the bag, and I've never lost any parts.
This is actually for my mom, as mine is still working without a hitch. Just get it!
