Peak Design Everyday Messenger

We absolutely love these messengers-style bags! You’ll be amazed what you can fit inside them and how well you stay organized…and stylish! We recommend the 15” version but if you have a smaller system the 13” is a nice option. Look for their backpacks, now on kickstarter, to be available to the masses in early 2017!

Tether Tools Case Relay System

The ultimate making sure your camera stays powered all night long! Choose the right connection to your specific camera, connect to the Case Relay, and then add any USB battery pack! Add the strapmore connection to keep it all organized and wrapped around your tripod. Set up your star stack or time-lapse and let it rip. Gabe is still trying to figure out how long it lasts, his last shoot started at 12am and he shut it off at 5am and there was still juice in the tank!

Manfrotto 410 Junior Geared Head - Supports 11 lbs (5kg)

When precision is paramount, the Manfrotto Junior Geared Head is unmatched. It is slightly slower to use then a ball head, but the payoff is incredible. The three way pan-tilt offers precise control in each axis allowing for individual adjustments. This head makes fine tuning your compositions effortless

Acratech GP Ball Head

For years I have used pan-tilt heads. Once I found Acratech, I completely switched over. A great company that makes extremely high-quality products. I don’t know how I worked without for so long. Invest in the lever clamp model—it is the ultimate in ensuring your camera remains locked into the ball head.
