Interesting typo in the title, as these look to me like rebadged Triopo tripods. The 'body' of the tripods look very similar (name badge, length if leg connection etc...) and a there are some...

Realistically, I think this will be the only solution. Some elderly people adapt well to new technology. I'm pretty sure there are many octegenarian + members of this forum who can personally...

Weird choice of Technology correspondent.

'As someone who is anything but a digital native, I find this stuff hard'

This thread , obviously an exception rather than the norm, confirmed my suspicions that tripod bushings are not entirely suitable for connecting straps to. I have no doubt that there are thousands...

I use the Wapiti Spike with my Panasonic GX1. It may be a little too substantial for your requirements, but it's very comfortable and discrete.

I think the apostrophe after the 164 means feet rather than the industry standard meters. This would give the Bolt a more believable GN of about 50.

The thing about the whole blurred water waterfall cliche is that it's a totally subjective thing in terms of how much blur you want. Look at exif data on photos on the internet with the effect you...

It's not all about fashion. Shoulder bags are much easier to use on the move. You have much easier access to your equipment. One of the advantages of m43 is that it's possible to carry a reasonable...

How old is the tripod? Their current tripods come with a 5 year guarrantee, so it might be worth getting in touch with them. This is the email address of their UK...

Gordy's single-point attach neck strap And then to top it off, one of these.

The Feisol ct3442 rapid will be just under your 18" at the standard 25 degrees, but if you want to add a fluid head you'd need to splay them out a bit (50 degrees). Sorry, no suggestions. To get...

This polarizer  was also definitely a circular polarizer and yet tests indicated otherwise. They speculate that maybe the quarter wave plate was glued on at the wrong angle.

Recently eBay prices for the 35mm have come down even more in the UK (less than £100).  Even the 50mm macro has sold for less than £200. Add that to a £45 Fotga 4/3 to m4/3 adapter and you get a...

Get them while you can. Panasonic's timing for the GX1 was very unfortunate. They missed the crucial Christmas launch date, then three or four months after stock finally arrived in the shops,...

Headshots have an arrangement with the Henry's chain of camera shops for collection and returning hired equipment. I think there are branches of Henry's in Ottawa and Toronto. I've never been to...

In a perfect world (and definitely if you're buying your first ever bag), you should go to a bricks and mortar shop with your camera gear and see how it all fits. However, if you're looking to buy...

Get in touch with these people. The 3221 isn't listed, but I'm sure they can find it for you. I'm assuming (from the way you write) that you're from the U.S. Although the company is based in the...

Probably part marketing ploy and part covering their backs in case of unhappy customers. Here's a detailed chart of compatibility issues with Arca-Swiss style plates and clamps. As they point out,...

The Flex Lens Shade is a slightly more elegant but similar solution. Not so good for the Zuiko 15mm f8, though.

Was it singing this? "My old man said "Follow the van,And don't dilly dally on the way".Off went the van wiv me 'ome packed in it,I walked behind wiv me old cock linnet."
