The Fotopro X-Go Max Photo Tripod

August 16, 2019 By Scott Hartwick

Tripods, some love them, others not so much. From my experience, the ones who don’t or won’t use a tripod do so because of a few things. They say “it’s too heavy” or “it’s too big to travel with or carry in or on a backpack”. Others say that the cost of a tripod and […]

The Color Of Light

July 26, 2019 By Scotty Myers

May 27, 2019 By Scott Hartwick

LED lights are everywhere these days. They come in a multitude of shapes and sizes.

May 8, 2019 By Scott Hartwick

“Hey look a tripod.” That’s what we said when we opened the box but then we got a better look at it. The RC-5570 is one extremely well designed and built tripod. Then we said “this must be really pricey”. We looked up the price online and were again surprised, this time by how affordable […]
