Every Camera Sling Bag Sucks Because the Manufacturers Are Clueless

As I've had many years to consider what makes a bad sling bag, I've been able to design a great sling bag for both photo and video producers. If you're a bag or sporting goods manufacturer in the Seattle area, or you have a relationship with one, I'd love to collaborate with you to make this bag a reality. Whether you want to buy the design outright or truly collaborate on it, I'm ready to fund the creation of prototypes. Photographers and videographers deserve a sling bag that's truly designed around how they work, commute and create, one that adapts to them and gets out of their way.

While some of my lenses are weather sealed, most are not, and I began to fear for the worst: Lens mold.

I don't seek out manufacturers or sellers and attempt to persuade them into gifting me a product in exchange for a review and "exposure." I am not a "mommyblogger" or an unemployed housewife with a camera. I will never shake down a product manufacturer nor refer to myself as a "social influencer." I review products because I like doing it, I enjoy trying new products and prefer to use brands that are less popular. It's these choices that I hope give my reviews a little more value due to scarcity. These are my opinions and my opinions only...

ALL Aluminum Cases Will Affect Cellphone Signal Strength

ok folks, time for a simple lesson in physics. first off, any metallic case, be it aluminum, steel, titanium, or any alloy of these materials, is dense. all metals have dense molecular construction that gives it the properties they exhibit in hardness and tensile strength, some more than others. because of this, it also makes...
