GFP's New Lexar Professional Workflow Card Reader Hub Nest /  by Glenn Fajota

Could this be the first LEXAR product here in the office?! The Lexar Professional Workflow Card Reader modular system allows any combination of CF, SD or XQD card readers to be used at one time. This may be helpful since we have SD cards in our field recorders and CF cards in our HDSLRs. Uploading files for preview right after a shoot might be a breeze! If we need to upload four CF cards at one time, we would just insert four of the Lexar Professional Workflow CF Reader (sold separately) and vice versa with the SD cards Lexar Professional Workflow SD Reader (sold separately).

This still has a small footprint at 3.3"x4.3"x6" and also has a clean design if mounted on the desktop. With four cards uploading at the same time, it will need more power than the USB, so the supplied power cable will definitely keep uploads running smooth.

Gear Review : Lowepro Photo Runner 100 /  by Glenn Fajota

Lowepro Photo Runner 100

 

 

In the Lowepro Photo Runner 100, I was able to fit my 1DS mark 3 and a couple of lenses in there. I did record some audio with the Tascam DR-40 which I stored in an S&F pouch attached to the Photo Runner using one of the SlipLock loops.

The Lowepro Photo Runner 100 was the perfect choice for me since I was able to fit a couple of lenses, my passport, iPhone, pen, hand sanitizer and Giottos blower all within arms reach. During my shoots, I used the bag as a beltpack on my waist because this allowed me to have quick access with just a pull of a zipper and not placing it on the sand. Having the bag on my waist, freed up my shoulders and hands, which made it easier for me to direct during the shoots. When I wasn't shooting, I used the provided shoulder strap that I kept tucked in the back when I was not using it.

Pelican 1550 x Lowepro Omni Trekker /  by Glenn Fajota

Here is a rare team up with two of the leading vendors for photographers and videographers. In this video we show you how we reconfigured the Lowepro Omni Trekker bag that was sold with the Pelican 1550 case into a location laptop bag. This combo gave us the option to have both a soft and hard case for traveling and storage. If you can still find this combo online, grab it and keep it.
