Title: VU Equipment - New Camera Equipment Company
Post by: JHM44 on February 11, 2014, 18:24

Hi,

Have just set up a new camera equipment company and we have just launched our first product on Kickstarter.

It would be great to hear any thoughts on the product or ideas for our next product.

This product is a simple and elegant camera strap and a mounting plate that makes manoeuvring the camera incredibly easy.

Here's the link to our project:

Thanks!!

I'm not sure if those of us hanging out here are your target audience - of all the many bits of camera gear I've ever gotten mad at, my camera strap isn't one of them!

Putting my name on the mounting plate doesn't do anything for me either - my camera often has the plate for my quick release head for the tripod ball head and I'm not swapping that out for a decorative item.

I wish you luck with whoever it is that might buy this, but in a era of camera phones or serious DSLRs I don't know how many people need straps...

It looks like a practical option for street/event work but for me it falls into the "nice to have" rather than "must have" category where my expenditure is concerned.

I wish you luck though....and I do think you have a potential market in those urban tykes like my niece, who yomp all over London using DSLRs and CSCs for street work.
