Manfrotto’s Move system felt like a good idea when I first saw it in October: one small puck would play host to a quick-release system that makes it easy to swap tripod heads, legs, and more. After testing, it’s even better than I expected and I can’t believe it took someone this long to make […]
There’s the travel tripod and the studio tripod -- and then there’s the new 3 Legged Thing Travis 2. 0. While it’s not a travel tripod, the new Travis 2. 0 is a go-between. It’s not quite as light and compact as a travel tripod but has a bit more stability, a higher weight capacity, and a height limit of almost 5.
It's time to celebrate. The festivities are right around the corner to photograph the fireworks coming soon. So we decided to give you a short guide on everything you need. Better yet, we're also giving you some tips on how to use the gear.

Are you trying to find perfect gifts for photographers in your life? Need some good stocking stuffers? We've got you covered. We rounded up everything from UHS-II SD cards (that start at under $35), camera cleaning kits that cost just $16.

Tripods are perhaps one accessory that we rely on a lot but give little credit too. I mean, they're just tripods, right? You plant it on the ground, attach your camera, and it just sits there doing its job, but did you know that tripods can be cool as well as functional? We have been given a chance to test out the new 3 Legged Thing Ray tripod and the new Airhed VU ball head, which are a part of the 3 Legged Thing's new Legend range of tripods and accessories.

Tripods are the one photography accessory that we take for granted, or in some cases, don't take seriously enough. Sure you can go down to your local big-box retailer and pick up a plastic fantastic tripod for $50, but we don't recommend putting thousands of dollars worth of camera gear on them, not when you can get Carbon Fiber models like the SIRUI AM-2 Traveler series tripods that start at $130.
