In its first offering of the type, Benro has come up with an excellent design that for many photographers offers the ideal compromise between size, sturdiness and price.<\/p>\n<p>The GD3WH uses a conventional layout with three large control knobs, one for each axis of movement. Rotating any one of them drives the camera directly in the corresponding direction, allowing highly accurate composition setting. For quick and rough repositioning, the gearing can be disengaged using the adjacent star-shaped controls, which spring firmly back into place when released.<\/p>\n<p>With sturdy magnesium alloy construction, this head is both lighter and more compact than its direct competitors. Another big advantage is that its quick release uses Arca Swiss-pattern dovetail plates, which are now a de facto standard. The screw-type clamp is especially well designed and makes attaching the camera unusually quick.<\/p>\n<p>This may be Benro\u2019s first attempt at a geared head, but it\u2019s an excellent design that gets pretty much everything right. Camera adjustment is smooth and precise, and it\u2019s portable enough to carry with you on location. Quite simply, it\u2019s the new leader of its class.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-126328\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/AP-Awards-winner-accessory.jpg\" alt=\"AP Awards winner accessory\" width=\"200\" height=\"217\" \/>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Accessory of the Year <span style=\"color: #0000ff\">Gitzo Adventury 30L<\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126322 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Gitzo-Adventury-30L-1.jpg\" alt=\"Gitzo Adventury 30L\" width=\"561\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/02\/Gitzo-Adventury-30L-1.jpg 561w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/02\/Gitzo-Adventury-30L-1.jpg?resize=300,321 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/02\/Gitzo-Adventury-30L-1.jpg?resize=374,400 374w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 561px) 100vw, 561px\" \/>\n<h3>Why we like it<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Fits carry-on luggage requirements of most airlines<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s water repellent and offers an additional rain cover<\/li>\n<li>Comfortable when fully laden<\/li>\n<li>Offers good interior customisation<\/li>\n<li>Features adjustable waist and sternum straps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Premium manufacturer, Gitzo, is best known for its high-end tripods, but more recently we\u2019ve seen the brand introduce backpacks into its range. The Adventury 30L is smaller than the Gitzo Adventury 45L, but remains a sizeable backpack with ample capacity and an impressive depth to accommodate pro-spec DSLRs and mirrorless cameras with a 70-200mm lens attached and a second body plus up to four lenses.<\/p>\n<p>What we love about this bag is how well thought through it is. Outdoorsy types with who it\u2019ll be most popular will find it comfortable to carry, and its expandable roll top offers the perfect place to store a jacket, food, drink, or other non-camera-related items. Along with two sizeable pockets either side, you get multi-link straps to secure a large tripod, freeing up both of your hands for long hikes. You also get two straps at the bottom that can be used to carry a small two-man tent, plus there is a pair of padded compartments on the side to safely carry a tablet and laptop measuring no larger than 23x2x37cm.<\/p>\n<p>For outdoor photographers with lots of kit, this is an excellent backpack option, which most importantly, feels comfortable to wear when fully loaded and offers first-class protection for your expensive kit on the move. It\u2019s thoroughly deserving of one of the three Accessory of the Year awards we handed out this year.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-126328\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/AP-Awards-winner-accessory.jpg\" alt=\"AP Awards winner accessory\" width=\"200\" height=\"217\" \/>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Accessory of the Year <span style=\"color: #0000ff\">Hahnel ProCube 2<\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126323 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Hahnel-ProCube-2.jpg\" alt=\"Hahnel ProCube 2\" width=\"718\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/02\/Hahnel-ProCube-2.jpg 718w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/02\/Hahnel-ProCube-2.jpg?resize=300,251 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/02\/Hahnel-ProCube-2.jpg?resize=479,400 479w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/02\/Hahnel-ProCube-2.jpg?resize=562,470 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 718px) 100vw, 718px\" \/>\n<h3>Why we like it<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Interchangeable holders for different batteries<\/li>\n<li>Informative LCD status screen<\/li>\n<li>Versatile, with AA battery charging and USB output<\/li>\n<li>Works from mains power and in-car<\/li>\n<li>Sturdy metal construction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Almost invariably, cameras are only supplied with the means to charge a single battery, meaning it\u2019s not easy to replenish two at the end of a shoot. For this, you need a dual charger such as the Hahnel ProCube 2. It\u2019s an update to the original ProCube, with a similar sturdy metal body shell and interchangeable plates that each accept a pair of batteries. But it gains a few neat updates; the battery holders now simply clip in place, without the need to plug-in a fiddly connector wire, and the LCD display shows how much charge has been fed to each battery.<\/p>\n<p>Versions are available for Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Sony, and Fujifilm\/Panasonic, each coming with several battery plates to cover a wide range of cameras from each brand. You also get a plate for charging four AA batteries, which fixes magnetically onto the top of the unit; however this means it can\u2019t be used when you have Li-ion batteries installed. In addition, a high-power 2.4A USB output will charge phones or tablets once the camera batteries are full.<\/p>\n<p>This is a supremely well-made and robust- feeling piece of kit, and is a particularly good choice if you use multiple cameras from the same brand.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-126328\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/AP-Awards-winner-accessory.jpg\" alt=\"AP Awards winner accessory\" width=\"200\" height=\"217\" \/>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Nominees<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Benro GD3WH Geared Head<\/li>\n<li>Eizo ColorEdge CS2730<\/li>\n<li>Gitzo Adventury 30L<\/li>\n<li>Hahnel ProCube 2<\/li>\n<li>H&amp;Y Quick Release Magnetic Filter Frame<\/li>\n<li>Hoya Ultra-Pro Circular Polarising filter<\/li>\n<li>Loupedeck+<\/li>\n<li>Lowepro PhotoStream RL 150<\/li>\n<li>Manfrotto 190 Go!

Like Photoshop, it doesn\u2019t have its own image browsing or cataloging area, but it offers some excellent tools for fettling and fine-tuning your images.<\/p>\n<p>The develop module reveals great depth, colour and detail in raw files with a handy split-screen to compare your adjusted image with the original. Everyday adjustments are available as adjustment layers and provided that you save your image in the Affinity Photo file format, it\u2019s possible to return and tweak the settings you applied previously. You can also create Live Filter layers with effects displayed live on your image as you make adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>Affinity Photo is a full-on professional photo editing application that makes no concession at all to its price point. You get a strong, fast and highly capable rival to Photoshop \u2013 and one that doesn\u2019t need a regular subscription payment.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-126337 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/AP-Awards-winner-Software-2019.jpg\" alt=\"AP Awards winner Software 2019\" width=\"200\" height=\"216\" \/>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Nominees<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Lutify.me Professional 3D LUTs package<\/li>\n<li>Mastin Labs Portra Pushed Pack<\/li>\n<li>Serif Affinity Photo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accessory of the Year Benro GD3WH Geared Head Why we like it Precise control of camera positioning High-quality Mg-alloy construction Relatively small and lightweight Uses standard Arca Swiss quick release Three bubble levels to set camera straight Geared heads are the perfect choice for any photographic application that demands really precise camera adjustment, such as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":323,"featured_media":126319,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1473,311,39,42],"tags":[],"product-category":[],"class_list":["post-126317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-apawards","category-articles","category-photo-news","category-round-ups"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/02\/AP-Awards-Accessories.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-25 03:01:03","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126317"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126317\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":126360,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126317\/revisions\/126360"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126317"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=126317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
