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!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully I was saved! I wasn&#8217;t complete dunce that day because I was lucky enough to still have my <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0833YHC27\/\">SmallRig cage<\/a><\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0833YHC27\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1476\" height=\"1420\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/smallrig.jpg?fit=768%2C739&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/smallrig.jpg 1476w, https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/smallrig-300x289.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/smallrig-768x739.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/smallrig-1024x985.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/smallrig-200x192.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1476px) 100vw, 1476px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4069,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,5,71],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-photography","category-purchased"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4067"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4067\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4072,"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4067\/revisions\/4072"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eloine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
