iPhone tripod

I stumbled upon this today while browsing casually. It's a tripod for the iPhone - or actually it's a mini tripod with an iPhone adapter. It's a fairly high want-to-have score on it, but I wonder how much I would use it in the end. Quite cool though, and it even has adjustable legs.

My current gear

This is my very first blog post, ever. I actually did it, I started blogging. I guess it's a matter of definition, but anyway, now I can say I'm a blogger. There are early adopters, mainstream, late adopters - and then me. If you want to read more about me, check out the about page.

Enough said. This post is just to sum up my current gear:

  • Nikon D80
  • Nikkor AF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 G DX
  • Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod
  • Manfrotto 488RC2 ballhead
  • Nikon ML-L3, wireless (IR) remote controller
  • Small Lowepro bag only fitting the SLR+lens
  • Panasonic HDC-HS100 digital camcorder
  • Panasonic DMC-FX9 digital compact camera
  • Adobe Photoshop CS3
  • Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.3
  • A set of SD cards ranging from 1 to 4 Gb

The three items that should add sharpness into the compositions were bought yesterday. I'm very eager about taking them for a spin in the real world but work and family are getting most of my attention at the moment.

That's it. That's my first blog post. Very interesting I must say. No, but it kind of sums up my current state - a newbie on the move. Oh, and for anyone wondering why I write in English when nobody outside of Stockholm area will ever read this, my answer is - why set limitations?
