Since scratching the first drawings of animals onto cave walls, humans have been compelled to create images of their world for others to see and understand. During the past 150 years, the shape, size, and technology of the tools we have used to produce photographs has changed drastically. To capture sweeping landscape vistas, we no longer need to drive a mule-drawn darkroom wagon into the wilderness. Now a camera that fits in a pocket can do the job. During the coming year, the means that we will use to capture photographs may change but not the motivation to share a view of our world with other people.

Gripix's new ergonomic accessories were designed to make GoPro action cameras even easier to use. The new Gripix accessory line adds functionality, mounting versatility and easy operation.

The new model, known as the FDR-X1000V, is a compact, splash-proof POV camera that allows users to easily capture stunning 4K content (3840x2160@30p 100Mbps1/60Mpbs), which can be played back on a compatible 4K TV directly from the camera through HDMI. It also features enhanced HD video performance with upgraded stabilization, image quality and high-frame rate shooting.

Will people ever get the message that it’s not polite to buzz wildlife with a flying drone? Last week we shared a video of a pride of a male lions chomping and chewing up a crashed Phantom imaging drone.  Now’s here’s a similar clip involving a group of seven kangaroos.

This item is a real blast from the past, one that goes all the way back to the early days of photography. Just because this kit is retro chic doesn’t mean it isn’t fun (and very educational) for all ages. The Viddy from Photojojo is a fully functional pinhole camera made from durable (screen printed to make it look like a real camera) cardboard that you build yourself.
