Mini Grip Equipment

Photokinesis introduces Table Manners Grip Equipment, which consists of lightweight, miniature, light modeling equipment designed for tabletop and miniature photography. The kits were designed by film technicians to supplement existing lighting packages of any size. TMGE grip and lighting work directly on the same surface as the shooting subject, minimizing the intrusion of full-size grip and lighting stands, allowing for greater camera movement and easier propping and styling. TMGE is designed to be used with finger and dot kits, postage stamps, 10" x 20" flags and nets, mirrors, bounces and reflectors. It is also compatible with the industry-standard 5/8" pin configuration (i.e. Dedos, peppers, and Mini-Flos). Each kit contains the following parts in a Doskocil weatherproof, foam-inserted, hard-plastic case: black powder coated 6061 T6 aluminum base plates with stainless steel recoil inserts and neoprene rubber bottom; black oxide-finished pre-heat treated spring-steel Table Manners clamps; 14" black anodized 6061 T6 aluminum rods with 1/4 20 stainless steel threaded studs; 8" black anodized 6061 T6 aluminum rods with 1/4" 20 stainless steel threaded studs; 3/8" to 5/8" pin adapters with 1/4" 20 stainless steel-threaded studs; and Lock-Line Flexi-arms with adapter plates for bounces, reflectors and mirrors.

Cool Cord Coils

Cool Cord Coils BurkTek Incorporated presents the Cordpro, an extension cord reel which permits the user to reel or unreel either end of the cord, as the same time or independently. This feature makes extending a cord to the needed appliance as easy as lying the Cordpro down, plugging the cord into an outlet, and pulling the opposite end of the cord to the needed location. This apparatus unreels just the right amount of cord as it slides, while holding the unused length neatly inside, preventing it from becoming loose or tangled. This freedom of operation is accomplished by a special divider which essentially separates the Cordpro into two individual reels. The divider also incorporates a metal reinforced eyelet for easy and reliable hanging of the unit. An additional benefit to this concept is that any unneeded portion of the extension cord can be stored at any location along the extended cord length without unplugging either end. The flexible plastic reel also features a cushioned ergonomic grip and has no moving parts to bind up or wear out.
