Hoodman and Trek-Tech are introducing a new toolkit for macro photographers that makes positioning and stabilizing cameras for close up macro photography quick and easy.

Sharp camera focus and flexible camera positioning to get low angle shots are critical to successful macro photography. The toolkit combines two essential macro photography tools, the Hoodman Right Angle Viewer and a Trek-Tech T-Pod table top tripod. The right angle viewer with 360° rotation gives photographers the flexibility to position a camera to get down and up close to the subject matter. The table-top tripod supports cameras with rock solid stability for sharp focus.

Creative low angle shots are easy when you have Hoodman's Universal Right Angle Viewer. The eye piece rotates 360° making it easy to set up unique camera angles for creative shots. Built-in diopter adjustments with 1X and 2.5X capability make customizing the optics to suit your individual needs quick and easy. The Hoodman Right Angle viewer fits all Canon, Nikon, and Fuji Digital SLR cameras. Four universal mounting attachments complete the kit so that it never becomes obsolete. It comes with a compact, protective storage case included.

The T-Pod is very versatile and high quality table top tripod which comes complete with ball head, quick release system (MagMount STAR) and travel pouch.  The T-Pod with the upper tube attached adjusts from 10" to 13.5" in height.  The ball head may also be connected directly to the legs creating a very stable platform which is 4" high.  In this configuration, the T-Pod will hold a large camera with very large lenses.

The T-Pod includes the newest MagMount, the MagMount STAR Ball Head. The MagMount STAR ball head is Trek-Tech’s patented quick release system that mounts point & shoot, video camera and DSLRs in a fraction of a second and easily adapts to ¼-20 and 3/8-16 mounting studs.

The MagMount STAR is a full featured ball head with an innovative quick release system that uses powerful earth magnets and a rotating locking arm to securely attach cameras as large as the Canon 5D, Nikon D300, or Pentax K20.  SD and Compact Flash memory cards can be used safely because these storage devices are immune to magnetic fields.

Purchased separately these products have a retail value of $179.98. For a limited time the toolkit can be purchased online for $129.99.
