Miscellaneous

• My Tilley Hat provides shade for the back of my neck and head on sunny days and keeps me dry on rainy days. It has a broad brim that flexes when a camera is at my eye. They are available on-line and at Cabela’s and REI.

• Black Diamond Trail Ergo Cork Trekking Poles improve my balance and agility when I am hiking. Using one or two poles is really helpful when you are carrying a pack or have a tripod over one shoulder. My poles are 3-section and collapse nicely to fit into checked luggage when flying. I got mine at REI.

• Black Diamond headlamp when you need light

• A Hoodman Loop is great for viewing the LCD display when it is sunny. They are available at Amazon, B&H and Hunt’s Photo & Video.

• Nikon Monarch Binoculars 10.5X45

• I clean cameras using a horsehair brush for the outside, a Rocket Blower, Visible Dust Sensor Loupe, Visible Dust or Eclipse cleaning fluid, PSI Sensor Swab Ultra swabs and micro fiber cloths.

• I fine tune the autofocus of cameras and lenses on a regular basis. I am an authorized Reikan FOCAL service provider fine tuning the autofocus on Nikon and Canon cameras.
