Monte Vista Weather Underground

I am using this in the style of Monte Zucker for portraits and tight group shots.

Lo acabo de recibir y lo monte en un trípode Gitzo GT3542 Mountaineer...y estoy impresionado, se siente firme y muy estable. La construcción es excelente, creo que tengo Gimbal, para muchos muchos años. Es ligero, llegue a pensar que era pesado, peor no lo es. Lo recomendaría mucho a los fotógrafos de naturaleza que le apuesten a la estabilidad y quieran cargar menos peso!!!

In 1972 Monte Zucker, who introduced slave triggered off-camera flash with on-camera fill hired me as his apprentice. His trademark style was based on color wedding photos with a full range of detail and studio like lighting which he accomplished with a flash for fill over lens and heads of subject overlapped with in identical off camera flash positioned 45° to the side of the nose of the subject. I’ve used a bracket like this with every digital camera I’ve owned since 2000 and on every Canon body since 2004 with a DIY scoop diffuser. It creates a flattering “butterfly” pattern when used by itself and creates centered neutral fill when used in conjunction with an off camera key flash. A caveat about the cold shoe. It can tear-up the plastic foot the flash so it best to replace it with TTL off-camera cord or a wireless transmitter. I added arca-swiss clamp to mine to make mounting and unmounting the camera easier.

Many years ago I bought 2 Monte Zucker Pneumatic Posing Stools. We used them when we needed extra stools at the table. The grandchildren loved them and felt fortunate when they were able to lay claim to them. Recently a granddaughter needed a desk chair and I was delighted to find this at B & H, at a very good price. My granddaughter had a lovely surprise and I love this stool. Thank you for carrying it. Dorothy Childers

Great vest. I'm using it in an underground coal mine. It's like having an extra pair of hands. It distributes weight evenly. I use it for batteries, flashes, all sorts of accessories. There are no pockets for big lenses, but that's O.K. It would make the vest too heavy and cumbersome. It's pretty good at repelling lime and coal dust and water and is not likely to tear easily. Pockets are lined with soft material, which is easy on lenses. These vests are a little pricey, but worth it. They're professional gear and are made for rugged use.

Solid takes abuse perfect for poking the gopro into strange places underwater and underground.

So far so good! Using as a backup power supply for an underground dog fence and so far is working great.

We mostly use it to protect our lens for our camera at work, being as we drag the camera through steam tunnels, in mud trenches, inside underground vaults, and through all sorts of other environments. The filter screws on firmly to the end of the lens and protects the lens from scratches, dirt, dust, etc. without distorting any of the pictures.

I use 50+ of these routinely for delicate electronic sensors that are buried underground in very wet Florida environments for over 6 months at a time. I love the color-changing pattern on the exterior of the pack that let's me now when it's due for replacement or refreshing in a microwave. I used to use the metal type that needed to be baked for 3 hours, but those too long to replenish and were small in comparison.

This arm is exactly what I needed. I made an oversized copy stand to photograph old city maps and drawings of the underground utilities. I'm using the arm on top of a ProMaster Super Heavy Duty SLR II Tripod. Had to put a couple of weights on the tripod just to make sure it wouldn't tip over with the arm fully extended.
