Yongnuo Speedlite YN600EX-RT II for Canon Cameras may just be the right flash for you


Flash photography is frequently used by photographers both indoors and outdoors for many types of photography. Indoors, flashes can be used for portrait photography, some types of product photography, and most other types of indoor events. The cost of on-camera flashes ranges from less than $100 to over $1000, varying by type, and features, and manufacturer. Like most photographers, I have multiple on-camera flashes, and there is always a new and/or better one available. I decided that the key to being able to afford the flashes that I want and need, is to find the right features at right price for my Canon DSLR cameras.

Recently, I have been paying more attention to a company called Yongnuo. They make several different types of photography equipment including on-camera flashes. One model that caught my attention is the Yongnuo Speedlite YN600EX-RT II for Canon Cameras.

The first feature that is really important for a Canon DSLR owner is that this flash is 100% compatible with Canon’s 2.4 GHz flash trigger system, and E-TTL / E-TTL II proprietary metering system. It has a 197’ guide number at ISO 100 and 200mm, and a great range of 20 to 200mm. It can be adjusted for bounce lighting from -7 degrees thru 90 degrees, and it rotates 180 degrees left and right. It has a decent recycle time of 3 seconds, and whatever settings you choose can be saved for the next use. There is a PC sync port for off-camera firing, the usual built-in bounce card, and it runs on 4 AA batteries. Its firmware can be updated via USB.

If you would like to check out this flash or just go ahead and purchase one, you can head over to B&H Photo Video and grab it for just $110.

The Piorama A10 is a bag that can transform from a small sling bag into a giant 62L duffel

The Adjustable Bag from Piorama will replace all of your sling bags, backpacks, and duffel bags because it can expand and contract from a small 31L day bag all the way up to a huge 62L travel sized duffel bag. It also converts from a backpack to a shoulder bag so you can carry it in a way that’s most comfortable for you.

The A10 is made of PU treated nylon with a 210D polyester lining and ABS hardware. It’s been designed with a drawstring on each end that is used to adjust the size from small, to medium, and up to the largest size. It comes with a shoulder strap and two backpack straps and is available in a variety of colors including camo.

You can buy the Piorama Adjustable Bag A10 for $149 from piorama.co

EDC goes modular with Keyport Anywhere Tools

Keyport is one of my favorite companies because they think out of the box when it comes to gear. They started out with the popular Keyport Slide and Pivot key organizers and have now launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for their new Anywhere Tools.

What is it?

Keyport Anywhere Tools take the modular approach that Keyport uses with the Slide and Pivot and have applied it to EDC pocket tools that don’t require a Keyport Pivot or a Keyport Slide 3.0 to carry them.




 

Why do I like it?

I like the Keyport Anywhere Tools because they are small stackable tools that can be carried in your pocket or clipped to your bag with the Anywhere Tools Pocket Clip.

The Anywhere Tools system includes:

  • Anywhere Pocket Clip – One piece clip that uses the same modular attachment mechanism as both the Pivot and the Slide 3.0; expands the reach of our modular system beyond our universal access devices
  • MOCA II Multi-Tool – 11-In-1; added Philips Head screwdriver, and backstop so that a user can apply significant leverage without having to place a thumb on the product’s spine
  • NEBA Knife – Beefier knife in honor of our fallen team member, Nebiyu Detti
  • Pocket Flare Mini-Flashlight – More than 2x stronger than our original Mini-Flashlight; rechargeable; features edge glow
  • WeeLink Charger Cable (USB – Micro USB / USB – Lightning)
  • RuSH Module Removal Tool – Suspension clip that also assists with Pivot setup (screw/unscrew pin) and module removal
  • ParaPull Paracord Zipper Pulls – Custom pulls that can be added to either the pocket clip or as a D-ring attachment on the Pivot or Slide

Where can I find more info?

The Keyport Anywhere Tools campaign ends on 5/18/2018 and they have just begun working towards their funding goal of $20,000. You can pre-order starting at $18. After the Keyport Anywhere Tools campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in September 2018. Visit mykeyport.com and their Kickstarter page for all the details.

Baron Fig gets to the point with new Squire Click ballpoint pen

We’re no stranger to Baron Fig ’round these parts; I’ve reviewed the Confidant Hardcover Notebook, the Vanguard Softcover Notebook, and the Squire Rollerball Pen. Although I really like Baron Fig’s notebooks, I’m a bit obsessed with the Squire Rollerball Pen. Its just-right length, balanced weight, ergonomic shape and finish, and smooth writing tip all contribute to making it my daily pen of choice. Baron Fig has recently launched their Squire Click, a “clicky” variation of their original twist version. The Squire Click features an aluminum body, dimensions of 5″ x 0.35″ and a weight of 0.7oz and comes with a black ballpoint ink cartridge. Available in Charcoal and Fig Wine color schemes, the Squire Click retails for $45.00. Visit BaronFig.com for more info or to order.
