Hobbyist-Designed Tripod Leg Sleeves for $14.44 (after 15% Coupon)

Proof you can design and launch your own photography gear without going the Kickstarter route! Photographer Justinsmnz on the photography-on-the.net forum writes:

“I’ve wanted to find something like this for a while now, but could never find an existing product that worked to keep water and dirt out of my tripod leg locks when I shoot in dirty or wet conditions… Finally, I decide to reach out to some factories on my own to see if I could solve it for myself. To make a long story short, I now have more tripod sleeves than I know what to do with… because, as you might expect, they don’t really make this sort of thing one or two sleeves at a time.”

His tripod sleeves look quite durable and effective at keeping your tripod leg locks dry and clean, and have great reviews. Best of all they’re available for a very reasonable $16.99 via Amazon with free shipping. Use coupon “POTN15OFF” to discount down to $14.44. It’s great to see grassroots photography products!




Kickstarter: Aurora Aperture Adapter Mount Filters for EF-RF Adapter

Aurora Aperture has a started a Kickstarter campaign around a very innovative product — they have created a set of drop-in filters that are compatible with the basic Canon EF-RF mount adapter, in addition to Sony E and Nikon NTZ mounts.

Their Adapter Mount Format (AMF) filter comes in several variants, including UV, various strengths of ND filters, graduated ND (GND) in 3 different strengths, and a light pollution reduction (LPR) filter. All are available for Canon EF-RF adapter.

Support the project by pledging and you can save 30% or more based on how many filters you order. One filter is $44 (much less than the cost of the Canon ND adapter). Ten filters are $34.80 each, a great savings from the expected retail price of $52.
