Phottix Atlas Wireless Flash Trigger – Outdoor Review

Posted on June 23, 2010 by Peter du Preez

Craig Ferguson tested the Phottix Atlas Wireless Trigger engineering samples in a real life scenario. The flashes were staggered along a path and they fired off as Betty rode past on the bicycle. The time was early dawn before sunrise. The filming done with the HD DSLR Canon 7D made the scene much brighter than it was in real life.

Phottix has since improved the active range of the triggers to well over 100m.

Creative flash memory from bullets to bamboo

Posted on December 15, 2009 by Peter du Preez

Sabrina from Memory Electronics introduces various flash memory modules shaped in very creative and attractive ways. First we saw a luggage lock which is also a flash disk, others included a bamboo case for the green enthusiasts as well as gold plated casing for the geo enthusiasts, or bling bling blokes.

The dog tags were cool and also designed to work as a flash disk for those solid solidier types. Lastly the bullet flash disk is the ideal item for fund managers, who want to keep the last one for themselves.

The USB sticks can have memory sizes from 64MB to 8GB.
