Hejnar PHOTO Modular Lens Support Bracket MOD-1 Review

Hejnar PHOTO Modular LSB MOD-1
Although I had vastly described the innovative and versatile nature of the Hejnar LLSB MOD-1 in the New Hejnar PHOTO Modular Lens Support Bracket preview article, there was a real sample lying around for some time, waiting for a hands on review.

Desmond CAB-1 Cable Anchor Clamp Review

Desmond CAB-1 Cable Anchor Clamp
Are you shooting in tethered mode frequently?
Having two or three cables hanging out from the side of your camera?
Well I always do, when I shoot in house, all the product "studio" sessions are shot tethered.
This involves a USB cable, an AC to DC coupler cable and sometimes a Wireless Remote cable.

Trust me, the most frustrating part comes when once a while I accidentally step on one of the cables, and connection with the PC is lost due to an unplugged cable.
