One of my favorite camera bag companies WANDRD (the other one is Gura Gear ) started a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter for a new TRANSIT Travel Line by WANDRD. The TRANSIT Travel Line includes four main products – the TRANSIT Travel Backpack, which comes in two sizes; the TRANSIT Carry-On Roller, the WANDRD Tote Backpack, and the Travel Wallet. All of these products were designed to work together to create a kick-ass travel experience from the moment you start packing your trip.
Peak Design launched a new Micro Clutch for mirrorless cameras on Kickstarter (MSRP $64.95, Kickstarter: $50.00). The Micro Clutch is a low-profile hand strap alternative that strips away unnecessary bulk without sacrificing a secure, comfortable grip for mirrorless shooters. Designed to accommodate either 2 or 4 finger body grip with full access to camera controls, the Micro Clutch features an adjustable Hypalon strap with silicon padding. Micro Clutch can be quickly installed via an anodized base plate yet easily adjusted for instant access to the camera’s battery door.
The Germany-based SPINN.DESIGN already had several successful crowdfunding campaigns in the past. The company recently started a new crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter for a fully self-adhesive protective camera gear wrapper (more information is available here).
Some of the specs of the new Thronmax Space mic kit for professional-quality audio are: 2.4GHz wireless technology, omnidirectional microphones, environmental noise cancellation, 8+ hours of battery life, compact design.

In case you missed this slide from the latest Nikon financial report: the Nikon Z9 is the “highest first-year sales volume among all flagship models released in the past 15 years”.
Based on the limited data I have seen from a few dealers, the Z8 will be an even better-selling camera for Nikon compared to the Z9.
