Tether Tools StrapMoore Neoprene Straps. Great for strapping batteries and power bricks to stands
I found these inexpensive Tether Tools StrapMoore neoprene straps for getting the power brick off the floor and on the light stand. They work great and cost only $19. I use one for my Aputure Light Storm and another on my tripod to hold a large battery to power my a7rii. It works really well […]

I will be heading over to visit Aputure at NAB and will have a LIVE Facebook […]
