Think Tank has launched new and improved versions of its popular Cable Management pouches. Although new cable management solutions are not the most exciting product announcement ever, any photographer or videographer who has struggled to organize their cables knows all too well how important it is to control rogue wires and accessories.

[embedded content] The Leica M11 series now consists of three cameras. We have the original M11 which I very much enjoyed using on the streets of New York.

One of the best things I’ve purchased as a photographer (and videographer) was an editing console. I own probably eight at this point, all with their own purposes and advantages.
