The Olloclip Mobile Photography Box set is the lens accessory your iPhone X deserves

Olloclip was one of the first ever quick-connect lens systems for iPhone featuring fisheye, wide-angle and macro lenses. I owned the first version for the iPhone 4S. I really liked being able to attach different lenses to my iPhone. And I was able to take some really cool photos. Fast forward a few years to the all-new Mobile Photography Box Set for iPhone X. Like the iPhone’s camera, the Olloclip has changed and improved.

Using their new Connect X system (exclusive to the iPhone X) you can easily interchange lenses with just a snap. It unlocks with the push of a button and clips onto the iPhone X’s camera.

Choose from three premium multi-element coated glass lenses, Fisheye, Super-Wide, and my favorite the Macro 15x. The easy to use lens system intuitively aligns with both front and back lenses of your iPhone. This allows you to attach a lens to each simultaneously, which should definitely help up your selfie game. And the mount expands to work with nearly all screen protectors.

Unfortunately, the system doesn’t work if you have a case on your iPhone. However, you can purchase Olloclip’s own Slim Case for $30 if you want that extra protection.

The system even includes a Pendant stand that opens to create a pocket-sized tripod.

The Olloclip Mobile Photography Box Set for iPhone X is available on Amazon for $99.99.

Bomber & Company B-2 Nano Blade looks adorable yet serious

Look, I don’t know if it’s actually possible to look both adorable and serious at the same time, but Bomber and Company might just have pulled it off with their tiny but mighty B-2 Nano Blade knife. In a fully jet black color scheme with angular edges, this keychain-sized folding knife’s appearance was inspired by the U.S. Air Force’s B-2 “Spirit” Stealth Bomber. Weighing in at less than 1 oz, it is 3.15 inches long open, 1.9 inches long closed and has a 1.19 inch blade length, so it is quite small, but a nice size for EDC. Its blade is half straight portion and half aggressively-serrated teeth. Its blade and body are made from 440C heat treated black stainless steel and it also includes a small black spit ring and hook. But one of the B-2 Nano Blade knife’s best features might be its price at $19.99. Visit Bomber & Company for more info or Amazon to order.

The BenQ BL2711U 27″ 16:9 4K UHD IPS Monitor is a feature packed display for a bargain price


Since I recently wrote a news story about an amazing BenQ 4K monitor that would work great for photographers and videographers, I decided to write about another BenQ monitor that is also great, but without the price tag of the one in my previous article. While there are many great 4K monitors on the market today, I have always been a fan of the quality of BenQ monitors, so I am taking this time to highlight a few.

The BenQ BL2711U 27″ 16:9 4K UHD IPS Monitor offers a 3840 x 2160 resolution, and 178 degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles. Additional features include a 16:9 aspect ratio, 300 cd/m² brightness rating, 1000:1 contrast ratio, and a 4 ms response time. It also supports up to 1.07 billion colors.

This monitor has a CAD/CAM Mode for “clearly distinguished details in complicated object wireframes”, an Animation Mode “to make distinguishing detailed textures in darkened areas easier”, and a ten-level animation mode that offers “10 levels of display brightness adjustment to reveal details in darkened areas for a precise design”.

There is also Picture-in-Picture (PIP) “for enhanced convenience and productivity”, and BenQ’s proprietary Flicker-free Technology which eliminates any screen flickering.

If you would like to take a closer look at the feature packed monitor, or if you would like to purchase it, head over the Amazon or B&H Photo Video. It has a purchase price of $449.
