There is nothing like being asked to photograph a group of people in 110 degree heat with a splitting migraine only to realize your fill flash isn’t working and everyone is waiting on you. Like a true professional I acted flustered on top of the ladder and dropped my camera on to the hard concrete below. I got some good gasps out of the lovely men and women in uniform before me though!!!
Thankfully I was saved! I wasn’t complete dunce that day because I was lucky enough to still have my SmallRig cage on my camera! I used this device on my Nikon Z50 so that the tripod mount was in a better location than was originally intended. Little did I know that it also acted like a bumper protector and after dropping my camera from 6 feet in the air onto the pavement I had only the teeniest tinyiest scratch on it. Everything else was totally fine and I went on shooting! I am am now a huge fan of SmallRig.
