GEAR : Lowepro ProTactic 450 AW LE

The Lowepro ProTactic 450 AW LE does not disappoint and is currently a limited edition version of the company's line of bags. This bag wasn't reserved or sponsored to get, so this package was very personal and highly demanded! Many pouches are located on the outside of the backpack which is essential for quick and easy access whether on an airplane or on location of a photoshoot. The pack can also fit a 15' Macbook Pro, serving as a laptop holder as well. The interior of the backpack is very bright, so it'll be easy to organize all accessories being put inside. 

Compared to the original black Lowepro 450, this edition has a more stylish look on the exterior of the pack. Since the stock of the actual product is decreasing rapidly, it's good to place an order now to get this backpack for yourself!

GEAR : Canon CPS 5DS R

For two upcoming Catholic Church wedding shoots, CPS has kindly sent in gear requested by GFP for rental use. Different levels of membership are offered at CPS, and it's recommend to join. CPS sent in a Canon 5DS R with a lens, a bag to hold the camera in, some cables and a charger. Keep in mind that sending an email to CPS two weeks prior to when a member needs gear is the key to any CPS rental.

HIKING GEAR : Paria Outdoor Tri-Fold Alloy UL Poles

Paria Outdoor's Alloy Ultralight Trekking Poles are 15" and can fold three times, condensing them down. Each pole weighs 10 oz each. There are two heights to adjust the trekking poles to with a flip lock, securing any height adjustment made. Breaking down the two poles with the trifold is very helpful to fit in any book bag while traveling. 

Spike feet are located on the bottom of the poles, but there are rubber feet to cover the spikes. Either in the winter or summer, these spikes are useful to get through snow or mud. The rubber feet are in a separate bag that comes with the poles. A strap and foam handle is located on the top, perfect for any sweat to absorb during the summer season.
