Photo Gadgets & Gizmos: 5 More Cool Photo Products For Your Gear Collection

TetherClings are small Microfiber cleaners that stick to cameras (and other devices) to ensure there is always a cleaner nearby for lenses, screens and fine optics. Simply peel off the clear backing of the Cling and attach it to the device. The MicroFiber cleaner on the other side removes the dust, oil, smudges and dirt from your laptop, phone (or tablet), computer screen, lenses and eyeglasses.

The TetherCling Cleaner & Security kit includes:

• Two LensClings

• Two ScreenClings

• One CamShield

To use simply peel, clean and re-stick the cling to the device. The three options are available in various kits and each one has a different purpose. LensClings stick to your lenshood for easy access. ScreenClings adhere to the back of a laptop, monitor, tablet, reader (or other devices). CamShields are Camera Privacy Shields that cover the webcam on a laptop, tablet or phone to render your device’s camera inaccessible to hackers when you’re not using your webcam. When you need to use it, simply remove the CamShield, stick it on the screen next to the camera and then replace it when you’re finished.

The suggested retail price is $8.99.
