Sure, we’ve been getting a little bookish lately on the giveaway front, so it’s time to get into the old tool box.
Love the books because, at the end of the day, the image is what it’s all about.
You need the gear to get there though. And every tool box has a variety of multi-purpose items that you need to carry around.
Like Duct Tape ( or official gaffers tape which has a better adhesive on it)
Or one of these:

Joby Gorillapod for Digital SLR Cameras w/ Bubble Level

When you need an extra hand, or have to get a speedlight into an unusual location, we call on this unit all the time.

Able to hold weights up to a lightwight DSLR or a small camcorder, the adjustable legs let us secure whatever gear we need, where we need it: railings, tops of doors, tabletops, tops of chairs, you name it.
You can use any tripod to hot shoe accessory in your kit for the flash rig, or purchase the flash shoe separately.

If you are making your YouTube videos featuring, well…YOU, or need to put yourself in the group shot, this is a nice, small (9.8″x2″/ 5.8 oz), bendable tripod that can fit easily in your bag. And it comes with a bubble level so you can make sure that the only thing that the shot is as level as you need it to be.

Here is a review we did on the full up line of Gorillapods earlier this year.

From point & shoots, DSLR’s, up to broadcast HD cameras, we dig this line. It lets us get the gear where we need it.

We have one of these to give away, (camera NOT included), so make sure you are subscribed to the weekly NEWSLETTER, where all of the details will be spelled out. It comes out Weds. @ 9:00AM PST. Or at least, that’s when we schedule it to go out.
You now have more time to enter the giveaway, also. We tried to figure out the best way to deal with all of the global time zones, and now, as long as we receive your entry by the Friday following the Weds. delivery of the specific NEWSLETTER, you will be entered into the giveaway and the winner is determined by Random.org.
All of the official rules are right here.
And the NEWSLETTER isn’t just about the giveaway.
Oh, no.
We also do a recap on items from the site and some extra stuff just for subscribers, so sign up today!
