Here's a 10-minute video tutorial in which photographer Kyle Cong shows why a strip softbox is a very handy thing to have if you're shooting portraits on location.
On-location backup is critical... and often a pain in the butt. If you're not carrying your laptop with you, backing up your files is a crap shoot; if you are, it's cumbersome and time-consuming. That's where the portable, powerful Flash Porter comes in.
For photographers, the Western Digital My Passport Wireless Pro is a hard drive that's actually worth getting excited over. With built-in WiFi, an SD slot, and a USB connection so you can hook up any card reader, it's a powerful on-the-go backup solution for photographers shooting on-location.
