Therefore, I will tell about my photo equipment top. None of the devices can be put in first place, because each is designed for different purposes. Over time, there will also be shorter reviews or tests of some devices. |
Epson Multimedia Storage View P-5000
 | At moments when we are enthusiastically shooting something and don't notice how the frame count decreases, suddenly the memory card is empty, but the event has just started. Well, this portable multimedia data storage device is an excellent device to free up the memory card from unnecessary Gb without a computer in the deep forest. This model also has the ability to view films and listen to music. Sometimes I also use it to present my work showing a video roll with my works. The attitude of strangers changes immediately when they become acquainted with my art. From one charge, I've managed to copy up to 40 Gb of photos. A great thing for travelers |
Holux M-241
 | There have been cases when after a photo pleinair you need to find the same place where we once were and took a great photo, but during the pleinair the travel route changed so often that finding the specific place is impossible. Well, this little one will be a savior in such situations. One of the best devices in its class is this GPS logger Holux M-241, aka GPS coordinate saver. Saved coordinates can be easily written to photo EXIF data using the free program www.geosetter.de. The route path can be easily viewed in the Google Earth program. An extra bonus of this little device is that together with portable and card software it can be used as a navigator during travel. Ideal for travelers. |
Epson Stylus Photo R2400
 | An excellent home photo printer that allows getting very good quality A3+ prints. Together with www.marrutt.com inks and color supply systems, you can ideally save money by not buying original inks. On Epson UltraSmooth Fine Art paper, photos are ideal both for presentations, gifts, and exhibitions. In my studio, photos printed with this printer hang on the walls! I recommend it for those who want to control the whole process from pressing the button to showing photos. |
La Crosse BC-900
 | An excellent multifunctional charger about which I already wrote a review. A good device to extend the service life of rechargeable batteries. The charger excellently "revives" old batteries and precisely determines their capacity in mAh units. In addition to this device, I also use the ZTS Pulse Load Multi-Battery tester, which instantly shows the capacity of batteries and rechargeable batteries. |
Epson Perfection V700 Photo
 | While my dreams show digital medium format, in real life I mess around with an old manual Mamiya and this great semi-professional or amateur level photo scanner. Together with Mamiya, it comes out much cheaper than the cheapest digital medium format. Scanning requires skill and time, but we know with film you won't be able to shoot 1000 frames in one day anyway ;). Recommendation to replace the included film holder with this The Variable Height Dual MF Film Holder. Scanner review here. |
3.5" 10/100 Network/USB 2.0 HDD External Enclosure.
 | One of the biggest headaches in the digital photography era is photo archiving and safety. And sometimes it seems that RAID system, good antivirus and firewall program protect against all kinds of incidents with our photos, but then suddenly one day coming home or to the office we find that all of that didn't help against thieves. The thief grabbed both the computer and all external hard drives with photos. Therefore, this smart external network hard drive excellently solves the problem of creating photo backup copies in another room or building without purchasing an additional computer or server. It works great as an FTP server and together with xStarter program you can excellently automate photo backup creation. |
Sandisk Extreme FireWire Reader
 | Often, the next step that awaits us when coming home from shooting is the long copying of many Gb of photos to the computer. This SanDisk Extreme FireWire CompactFlash Card Reader card reader allows doing this at up to 40MB/s speed. |
Bowens Pulsar Radio Trigger System
 | Bowens Pulsar Radio Trigger system allows more creative use of both studio flashes and the camera's external flash. Using them opens up the ability to place light sources behind walls and at great distances and not worry about whether the signal will reach the light source. Using some adapters, it's also possible to remotely trigger the camera shutter from a distance. |
Arctic Butterfly SL-700
 | Arctic Butterfly SL-700 is a special brush designed for removing dust from the camera sensor. Thanks to the built-in motor, the brush can be rotated, in this way the hairs become electrified and attract dust. All you need to do is lightly swipe the brush over the sensor. |
