Giottos MH5001
by Rosie Tanner
on 17th Dec 2009
It can be an expensive business buying the perfect tripod, but they’re one of those things that usually mean the more you spend, the better they tend to be. We throw caution to the wind, however and test out the very reasonable Giottos MH5001 3-Way Head to see if this statement really rings true.

Camera Armor
by Josie Reavely
on 26th Nov 2009
Made from elastomeric silicone the skin will not stretch over time, and will retain its shape and fit. The material is heat resistant withstanding temperatures of up to 240 degrees C and comes with a lifetime warranty on the durability of the silicone. We were impressed with the finish and the lightweight feel of the product but we didn’t feel it fitted our Nikon D300 as snugly as we’d expected.
The controls that are already recessed on the camera become trickier to reach an
