Kickstarter

Custom SLR, the folks behind the C-Loop and Glide Strap camera sling system, have a new project in the works to make your camera mounting life easier. It's the Kickstarter funded M-Plate, a single plate that will work with all your accessories.

For many of those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan (or any war for that matter), arriving home is not an easy return to normalcy. Photojournalist Erin Trieb is attempting to tell the stories of these people and their friends and family, through the Kickstarter funded "The Homecoming Project". Through photography and multimedia, Trieb is attempting to raise awareness of post traumatic stress, abuse and suicide that accompanies their return.

Kickstarter has quickly shot to fame as a place where people with good ideas can get the funding to make them happen — especially for gadget accessories. Two such people are Patrick O'Neill and Chong Pak who have come up with the Olloclip, a small, double sided dongle which snaps over the built-in lens on your iPhone.
