Why Is It So Hard to Find a Mini Flash That Doesn’t Suck? The $49.9 Zeniko RF12 M Might Have the Answer

Why Is It So Hard to Find a Mini Flash That Doesn’t Suck? The $49.9 Zeniko RF12 M Might Have the Answer

The current on-camera flash market is deeply flawed, leaving photographers without a truly perfect option. On one hand, pro-level speedlights offer incredible power and performance, but they are far too bulky for an everyday carry (EDC) setup. On the other hand, the pocket-sized retro flashes dominating Instagram may look stylish, but they lack flexibility—their fixed, forward-facing heads blast harsh, ghostly direct light right into your subject's face.

Harlowe Hybrid Pocket Flash GN12 Review: The Most Innovative Flash in Years

Harlowe Hybrid Pocket Flash GN12 Review: The Most Innovative Flash in Years

I've known that Harlowe was working on a flash for many years. The company, known for their gorgeous LED lights, realized a while ago that sometimes LEDs can't do everything. So they started building a flash. With that said, I truly hope that the Harlowe Hybrid Pocket Flash isn't the only one that they'll build. This little thing is designed for street photographers and others. But I'll be really honest here: it's weak. And if that's what you're looking for, then this could work well. Aside from that, this is also the single most innovative flash that I've used in several years. If Harlowe makes a far more powerful and professional version, I truly might just give up my Profoto lights -- and I don't say that lightly.

The Toughest Leather Camera Strap I’ve Ever Used

The Toughest Leather Camera Strap I’ve Ever Used

Something that I've been wanting more and more of as I end my late 30s are products that last the rest of my life. The more I think about it, if I had kids, there are very few things that I could potentially pass onto them. That's because the world has been made more about disposable, cheaper, products that somehow or another end up in a landfill. But a while back, a friend in her late 50s gifted me her father's Nikon F2 camera. And for that, I paired it with the Bowman Leather Vantage strap. It's crazy to think that even if I had kids today, that F2 would be able to be passed down to my kids. After two years of using the Vantage strap, I'm still really shocked at how well it's held up.

Folks like the look, and if that's your jam, then you should consider how to make those glossy print photos look their absolute best.
