Jasper 2.0 Bags
The Jasper line of bags is back and better than ever! Upgraded features include a highly customizable main compartment and smooth metal hook latches, combined with durable, water resistant fabric and seemingly endless pockets. The Jasper 2.0 satchel shoulder bags provide a surprising amount of storage in a compact form factor. You’ll find extra padding on the cross body strap with an included stabilizer strap. A fast action zipper allows for direct access to your gear in the main compartment. Available in a range of sizes from the smaller 4.0L to the medium 6.8L and larger 10L size, these satchels fit in perfectly on your next hike or trip into the office.
The Jasper 2.0 Rolltop Backpack provides an additional 9L of flexible storage on top of the 7.5L main camera compartment. Use the rolltop for an added layer, lunch, or extra gear. The straps on this backpack were designed for all-day comfort with even more padding, a chest clip, and a removable waist strap to correctly balance the weight of the pack across your body. Front and side pockets provide ample space for stowing smaller items like granola bars, your phone, keys, and more. The included rain cover is cleverly stored in a zipper pocket in the bottom of the bag.
The Epoch tripod is made to perform, combining a vintage-inspired aesthetic with modern materials. Precision craftsmanship and a solid 4-way head with individual movements and controls for each axis means your setup is exactly where you need it to be while 3-section legs provide top tier stability with fewer joints and larger bottom sections. The Epoch tripod was recently recognized by Digital Imaging Reporter as the Breakthrough Tripod Kit in their 2024 Breakthrough Awards.
The Rugged V60 cards combine the reputation of our Rugged line with the speed of V60 cards for an unbeatable memory card. Previously offered in V30 and V90 classifications, filling the needs of both beginners and more advanced photographers/videographers, the Rugged line now comes in the V60 class to help bridge that gap. These new cards feature all of the same great durability features our Rugged cards are known for: shockproof, waterproof, and weatherproof. Offered in a 128GB, 256GB, and a 512GB there is sure to be a size that best fits your needs!
This past year we completely revamped our line of filters to better suit your needs. The Pure Light line has an extremely high light transmission and low light reflectivity, thanks to a special combination of hydrophobic coatings and finely polished Schott B270™ optical glass. The hydrophobic multi-coatings mean these filters are resistant to oil, water, and fingerprints - ensuring clear image capture. Pure Light filters are available as Circular Polarizing (CPL) and Protection filters.
The Key Grip line introduced a new, incredibly convenient way to keep tripod tools close at hand. Remove the cap on the extendable handle to reveal a set of hex keys. These can be used to tighten down your QR plate, loosen the grub screws on the head, or assist in swapping the tripod feet. When you're done simply put them back in their respective slot and they'll be ready and waiting for your next tune up. The Key Grip tripod features a video head with separate panning and tilting actions. The tilt knob can be adjusted, providing different levels of tension, allowing you to create smooth camera actions.
Creating images means nothing if they’re not safely stored and then transferred off of your memory cards. That’s where the Trifecta Card Readers come into play. Now available as the Trifecta UHS-I reader for SD and Micro SD and the Trifecta Deluxe UHS-II reader. These readers feature three types of connections: USB-C, USB-A , and USB Micro-B. Dual slots accept SD and MicroSD cards and can access them simultaneously as independent drives, allowing for file copying and transferring.
