I have decided to buy a new camera strap because I wasn’t a fan of the strap that came with the camera. After all, the strap that came with the camera, the Nikon strap were narrow, and it was nothing special about the strap. The strap that came with the camera hurts my neck because it is narrow. It isn’t padded or has anything that would lessen the pain on the neck, so that was the reason that I felt that there had to be an aftermarket strap that would do a better job of not hurting my neck, so I decided to go shopping for one. After doing some search, reading some blogs, some reviews as well, and whatnot, I have finally decided on which camera’s strap that I am after. The camera’s strap that I brought seems to be the most popular choice for professional and hobbyist photographers. That camera strap is Slide by Peak Design; if we want to be more specific, some of them call it slide pro because they have two versions, such as slide and slide lite. I went for slide one (not lite). The Peak Design Slide camera strap is a bit high-end, I admit, but does it deserve to be? In my review, I will tell you as I will share my…

Ever since I got a new camera for my professional photography, a few things on the list are a must-have for every photographer, and one of them is extra batteries. Having extra batteries means that we have to get chargers for them as well because batteries for camera are often sold separately without the actual charger, as there are a few options that we could go for, such as getting the OEM charger or go for a third-party charger that can charge more than one battery, so that was the routine I took. If I were to go for every OEM battery charger for each battery, I would need several outlets for them. A twin (double) battery charger has a better advantage because it can charge two or more batteries using only one outlet and is less cluttered this way. I will be happier if the same manufacturer of the camera’s battery says Nikon has their own charging station for any batteries they have for all of their batteries. Still, they do not have a single charger for one battery, so one charger for each one battery, and knowing us photographers who need a good number of batteries, we probably have several power strips to charge all of the batteries for our camera(s). The problem with that is, it is…
Thanks to my mother, I got GoPro Hero 9 Media Mod as a present for Christmas as I brought GoPro Hero 9 a few months ago when they released GoPro Hero 9. I was considering buying the media mod to go with it, but they were out of stock at that time, and I decided to wait until they are back in stock again, or I could finally find them somewhere on the internet. After a month, I forgot to look again to see if it was in stock or still out of stock; then, a couple of weeks before Christmas, I remembered, so I went to check and see if they have GoPro Hero 9 Media Mod in stock which they finally were. I was determined to purchase a media mod for my GoPro Hero 9, but before I did, I was having a conversation with my mother about needing a media mod and a light mod for my GoPro Hero 9 to turn it into a small production set-up to use. My mother told me not to buy it and that she wanted to get it for me for Christmas, but I hesitated a bit because I never felt right to let her get anything but went for it because she was stubborn. So, on Christmas day (a…
There are many gaming controllers out there that people can choose from, ranging from branded controllers to the aftermarket controllers that gamers can choose, and all of these controllers have different specifications or capabilities such as some can be a universal controller for any gaming devices or controller that can only work with one or limited numbers of gaming devices. We know that two companies dominate the gaming controllers in the gamers world, Microsoft with their Xbox controllers and Sony with their Dualshock controllers. Every controller has something unique about them that differentiates them from others, such as the shape, grip, buttons, and whatnot for every controller out there. But there is one brand that we know capable of the most gaming devices, including PC – Microsoft Xbox Controllers. Speaking of Microsoft’s Xbox controller, I own their Xbox Elite Controller series 1, which is the first version of their elite controller, and it became my main driver for all of the gaming devices, especially for PC, but I do have a love/hate relationship with the Xbox Elite controller series 1. While the first Xbox elite controller is comfortable, it has good trigger speed, and it was somewhat enjoyable. The keyword is “somewhat” because there one thing that I despise about the Xbox Elite Controller Series 1 is that it does…
The other day I reviewed one of Anker’s products that I was disappointed with: the Anker PowerExpand 8-in-2 USB-C PD Media Hub. I was not exactly in a hurry to get another hub since I have sent it back for a refund, but I was in a hurry for a memory card reader, so I have decided to get Anker 2-in-1 USB 3.0 SD Card Reader. I have gone through a few USB card readers stick to choose which one I’d like, and this one by Anker gets my attention the most while at the same time the price for one is very reasonable because it only cost $12.99! I do have another memory cards reader, which I also have reviewed which you can find it here, but I need a simple one that I could carry it around or that I could grab it then plug it in without having to plug the cord on the back of the cards reader to the computer then look through the slots to make sure that I am inserting the card in the right slot. I need something that would be quick and that I could use it in almost no time. Anker 2-in-1 USB 3.0 SD Card Reader has all of the specs that I think are plenty, especially for just…
