MindShift Gear BackLight 26L Photo Daypack: Created for outdoor photographers, the rugged BackLight’s back panel opening allows quick access and the zippered rear opening reduces the amount of dust, mud and ice (or other elements) coming in contact with your gear. 

Fujifilm has launched a new instant film camera with a more slender profile and automatic exposure control: the Instax Mini 70. The new Instax Mini 70 features an updated, sleek design with a special Selfie mode and a  powerful flash that automatically calculates surrounding brightness and adjusts shutter speeds.

Manfrotto’s 290 Collection: The 290 range features three new tripod models: the 290 Light, 290 Xtra, 290 Dual and a new version of the 290 monopods (all backed by a 10 year warranty). The 290 Light is for hobbyists just starting out in serious photography. It has a solid aluminum body construction, with adjustable aluminum leg locks. The 290 Xtra is available in aluminum with durable construction and ergonomic control and adjustable aluminum leg locks. 

Photojojo Ring Flash Adapter: This handy, portable device is made for use with your DSLR camera and most external flash units. The Ring Flash Adapter is an easy to use reflective circle that attaches to the front of your external flash unit using a durable nylon strap. It requires no batteries (or cords) because it uses the flash you already have. It will give your photos a soft, even glow and won’t fill your gear bag or studio with bulky, expensive, hard to use equipment. The suggested retail price is $40.
