Today a cool new product video.
Our mobile phone is getting better with video and photography almost every year, and they are great for those more difficult to reach angles/locations where a larger camera is not handy or possible at all, so we use them actually more and more for video and photography. A lot of the vlogs are filmed 100% with my Samsung S22 and Annewieks iPhone, but we also use them for B-roll during tutorials. In some cases they even work much better than pro-cameras.

One of my frustrations is often the problem that I want to mount the phone in more extreme angles but need it to be stable enough to control and not shift positions, so a flexible and stable platform that doesn’t stand in the way.
In this video I show you a very nice budget friendly solution to get pro results from your smartphone, well at least pro angles 😀

The tripod I’m using in the video is the new K&F Concept 119 tripod which we are testing at the moment, as you can see in the video it’s a really nice tripod with a boom arm option, which makes it perfect for this setup.

You can order the tripod 119 and mount online, your favourite store or via our webshop.

Fiberglass umbrella kit

The umbrella is a vital piece of kit for every photographer that wants to be able to use a large/soft lightsource on location or in the studio without breaking the bank. And although umbrellas are widely used they are also often very fragile. With the Rogue Fiberglass umbrellas they tackled that problem by using fiberglass. And making the umbrellas very sturdy. But also super light. In the kit you will find a white umbrella and a black umbrella with diffuser panel.

I mostly use the white umbrella for white backgrounds.Because it will reflect the light and pass the light making it possible to use one light shaper as background light and accent on our model. Very cool.

The black umbrella with diffuser is my favourite as fill in light or a very nice soft contrast portrait light.
The umbrellas are delivered with a nice carrying bag.

The magnetic snoot

As you know I love light shapers that can be used in different ways, and the snoot does exactly that.
You can use it in 4 different settings, but when combining them with rectacular strobes you can also use them without the diffusion panel and create stunning vertical lighting patterns on your subject to really let him/her jump out.
