Pod! Pod! Pod!

Sorry for the lack of updates, ever since I took over marketing, we have been seeing massive surge of sales (hahahaha shameless self praise)! Anyways, today, I am going to change the subject a bit and talk about your accessories. Every self respecting camera men MUST carry a few essential items in their camera bag. It doesn't matter if you are professional or casual photographer, you are only wasting your camera's potential by not carrying these around. I shall start a mini series of blog posts based on accessories. First off, TRIPOD!

The Tripod is one of the most essential equipment you should carry around with your camera. Now, I understand your first reaction when you read tripod. "You crazy mate? that thing weights 5 pounds!" Well, as cameras have evolved, your tripod has too. Today, I am going to specifically introduce my favorite gadget to own. The Joby Gorillapod! Not only can this thing function as a normal tripod, it can also grab on to any service with a hole or crevice! Trust me, this is the absolute most versatile equipment you can carry around for your camera, and best of all, it weights practically nothing!

Why use a tripod when you have hands like a statue? Well, first of sir, I doubt the steadiness of your hands! Second, you can take your own photo without leaving your camera on ledges or 3 chairs stacked up. Third, you never have to ask a stranger to take a photo you won't like again! Another major advantage the tripod introduce is the abilityt o take shots eith slower shutter speed! For the laymen, that means more light can enter the shot, allowing you to use a lower ISO setting, in turn, making your photo more clear even at night! Trust me, investment in a good tripod is paramount in taking your photographic skill to the next level, and the Joby Gorillapod is the perfect price for any user, professional or casual!
