We've been keeping an eye on camera accessory maker Edelkrone for the past few years, and this year their booth was much bigger and had they had huge staff. They make really interesting products, and they had two on display that really caught my eye. What is more surprising is where Edelkrone comes from - Turkey. Not a place you'd expect, but such is the nature of the global economy.
First up is the SliderPlus, which is such a brilliant idea for a slider. Looking at the picture doesn't do it justice, you have to watch the video.

The new item they previewed at NAB was this little gizmo, the Pocket Shot. It folds up like a Swiss Army knife, and when you unfold it, it becomes a hand grip, unfold it again it becomes a gun stock, unfold another section and it becomes a small support to sit on your belt. And fold it all up and put it in your pocket. It is really cool. Again, photos don't do it justice.
Unfortunately, they only sell direct at this time in North America, so you won't be able to pick up either of these at The DV Shop, but hopefully that will change soon.
