Like others above, I'm an iPhone 6s plus owner and am going to the new iPhone 11. The video capabilities look incredible. The new night mode is also interesting. I think another very important feature is the water resistance. I like to work around water and have ruined a couple of phones. I like the ability to dip it accidentally.

Beautiful landscape shot.

I’ve not had any trouble on Craig’s List but have started using Facebook Market Place as more my go to for used equipment. At least I can do a little background check on the person I’m doing business with. Someone with a recently created account is probably shady.

So I was running into the same issue. I need to occasionally shoot a video now and then and didn't want to rely on my camera's internal microphone. I looked at all the shotgun type microphones and this $30 mic got similar reviews to the more expensive brands. Hoping this will work for me. It is in transit as I type. You might look it up.

Thanks for all the replies. My topic was moved from General Chit Chat and I didn't see all of replies until this morning. I'm going to check out the Caribou Cases. I feel like that's the safest way to go.

More than a few years ago, I was thrown out of a Stray Cats concert. Well I was told they could take my camera and stay or I could leave with it. Of course I left with it.

I won't be pulling a trailer. It would need to be either a foam insert for my T-Bag or possibly a hard case I can bungie onto the back seat or my luggage rack. I'm hoping someone has actually done one or the other and had their equipment survive. I know the backpack does work but it can't be worn under my rain gear if I hit bad weather. I recently upgraded from a Nikon D5000 to a Sony A7iii. I'd hate to shake my newest prize possession to death.

Perhaps I can make a foam insert for the top of my T-Bag. That way I benefit from the extra cushion of the clothes below it. The way my saddle bags vibrate, I can't image what would happen to a camera after 6 to 8 hours in one. Not to mention I usually have them packed pretty tight with everything from my rain gear to an emergency tool kit.

Once or twice a year, I take a week or so motorcycle trip with a group of friends. I ride a Harley Road King which creates a considerable amount of vibration. I'm sure it would shake my camera apart if I were to pack it in a saddle bag -- although I've never tested the theory :). I've thought about strapping a hard protective case to the luggage rack or back seat. I'm wondering if anyone has done this or something similar and might have a suggestion as to what might work or worked for them?

We ride to some beautiful spots. Last year I found myself in Terlingua, TX at Big Bend National Park looking up at the Milky Way with nothing but an iPhone 6S+. The only time I take a camera with me on the bike is if I pack it in my Lowepro backpack and wear it to wherever I'm going. Not so bad for short trips but not really practical for longer trips. Anyway, thanks for any suggestions.

I’m a semi-professional magician and avid photographer. There used to be a brick and mortar magic store in just about every big city. On line sales have all but shut them down. I worry that dedicated photography stores are headed the same direction. The overhead of having an actual store front makes it impossible to compete with online prices. I hope I’m wrong.
