Tired of contorting your body into position to take a great wildflower photo only to find out later that it was shaky or out of focus? Hoodman and Trek-Tech are offering a kit to help photographers take better macro photos. The kit includes the Trek-Tech T-Pod tabletop tripod and the Hoodman Right Angle Viewer. These two accessories will help get your camera lower, eliminate camera shake and make it easier to deal with awkward shooting angles.
Anyone who’s tried to take close-up photo of bugs or flowers knows how hard it is to get a sharp macro photo. Lying in the dirt isn’t very comfortable and it’s next to impossible to keep your camera focused and still enough for a sharp photo. The Hoodman Right Angle Viewer will keep your clothes clean and keep you away from the chiropractor’s office. The Trek-Tech T-Pod tabletop tripod will hold your camera steady because you can’t. The only thing missing is a set of macro-focusing rails. Never heard of them? They go on top of your tripod and allow you to focus by moving the camera closer or farther away from your subject. That’s a lot easier than moving the camera. If you’ve ever taken macro photos, you know what I’m talking about.

It isn’t the only option out there, but the Hoodman / Trek-Tech macro kit is a pretty nice deal for $130. It’s a good solution for photographers who don’t already have dedicated macro gear and it will make a real difference in the quality of most close-up photos. The kit is compatible with all Canon, Nikon and Fujifilm DSLRs.
