Never lose your lens cap again with HACkxTACK
We all know the situation just too well. You're out shooting with your DSLR or mirrorless camera when you decide to swap lenses and have no idea where you've put the lens cap for the lens that's mounted on your camera body. It could be in the pockets of your pants, it could be in your jacket or anywhere in your camera bag. Usually it's in the very last place you look for it. In the worst case scenario you never find it at all.
A new Kickstarter project launched by two Canadian designers aims to solve the missing lens cap problem. HACkxTACK is a magnetic lens cap holder that attaches to your clothing or bag strap and safely secures your treasured lens cap via a metal tab that is attached to the latter. The holder itself is made of wood and stainless steel and has three magnets implanted in its interior. The magnets are device-friendly and do not interfere with your camera or other electronic devices.
You can pre-order a HACKxTACK from $24CAD. That amount gets you one clip, one metal lens cap tab and a canvas bag. Additional tabs can be ordered for $5 but a variety of other backing options are available, too. Delivery is planned for August 2014. For more information visit the HACKxTACK Kickstarter page or watch the video below.

No Nikon camera we've tested to date balances stills and video capture as well as the Nikon Z7. Though autofocus is less reliable than the D850, Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless gets enough right to earn our recommendation.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. While it's great for lunar and still wildlife photography, we found that it's not suited for much else.
As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
