Crumpler – 6 Million Dollar Home

December 8th, 2009 Tengaport




Need a new bag like a hole in the head, but my plan is to clean out my current bag collection and stick with the ‘basics’.

In that ‘basics’ group I’d like to have a somewhat incognito camera bag. After some research today at B&H it became evident that the 6 Million Dollar Home from Crumpler was just the bag to fill that void.

Lowepro SlingShot 200

December 2nd, 2009 Tengaport




There was a crucial time where I needed to make a decision between camera bags. It was the Lowepro SlingShot 200 vs. Tamrac’s Velocity 8x. As a huge fan of my velocity 7, I opted for the 8x at the time.

While the Velocity 7 is a great, comfortable bag, the bigger 8x puts a bit too much strain on my shoulder and lugging that bag around for hours at a clip tends to take its toll on me.

I have heard that the SlingShot 200 is much more comfortable so I’m willing to give it a try. And as Rueben from B&H said, you can put a sandwich in it :)

Joby Gorillapod Gogo

December 1st, 2009 Tengaport




I’ve been meaning to pick up a replacement Gorillapod ever since I beheaded my current one. Sure, I managed to re-attach it’s head, but it’s hasn’t been quite the same ever since. Amazingly, the Gorillapod GoGo which comes with extra attachments is currently cheaper than the plain, vanilla version so sign me up for one of those.

$18 on Amazon

VInlmation Park 3 Series (3″ Figures)

December 1st, 2009 Tengaport




At $10 a pop, here is something that falls into the stocking stuffer category. I can’t tell you why, but I am addicted to these little guys, especially the Park Series collections. While there are some duds in the bunch (my opinion) there are quite a few that I wouldn’t mind adding to my collection.

Available at the disneystore.com

November 30th, 2009 Tengaport




Been meaning to pick up one of these afor a while now, and my past trip to mexico made me realize just how important this would be to my kit.

Motorola A855 Droid Multimedia Station

November 30th, 2009 Tengaport




Seeing how the Droid sucks up battery like a sponge, one of these docks sure would be handy. Not to mention I’ve been enjoying using the Droid as my alarm clock lately.

$30 if you can find it, unfortunately this sucker is a much sought after item at the moment.

Fallout 3 (Xbox 360) Game of the Year Edition

November 28th, 2009 Tengaport




This was the one deal I was hoping to find on Black Friday, but alas it was not to be had. Target currently has it for $39.99 – but again we’re in the ‘no buy zone’ so it’s hands off for me.

I’ve been itching to check this game out ever since it’s release, and what better way than with the Game of the Year edition which includes all the available DLC.

Big Trouble in Little China Blu-Ray

November 28th, 2009 Tengaport




This is currently the only movie on my wishlist, but what a doozy it is! Cheap to at only $16 (tho it was $12 last week).
