STORR Coffee - Perfect for camera bags?
over 2 years ago
– Tue, Aug 03, 2021 at 11:36:52 AM
Hi all!
Feeling a little bit left out of the "I'm live on Kickstarter!" hype that friends of mine have, but that will be changing soon - I plan to be shooting the main content for my next project this month. It's a bit of a departure from camera gear but its something I'm excited about, and I really think it'll help people. If anyone lives in/around Hampshire (UK) and wants to get involved, would love to hear from you!
I'm a big fan of this project, and its being done by a mate of mine so I am absolutely delighted to be sharing it! In less than a week its hit over 600 backers and nearly raised 1000% of its funding goal.
STORR is a stainless steel storage solution for coffee, and it fits perfectly inside the plunger of an Aeropress. Yes, you can carry other things besides coffee - afterall, its a rugged and watertight canister, but the best thing for me about STORR is that I can carry freshly ground coffee in my camerabag without any fear of a bag splitting, or grounds leaking where they shouldn't. Its also the perfect depth for lens-pockets in camerabags so I wanted to let you all know about it!
If you EVER carry coffee, teabags or snacks in your camerabag - then you need STORR. End of.
We have quite the community of creators here in the UK, sharing knowledge and getting involved in photoshoots from time to time is all part of the fun - to anyone wondering if they should do their own Kickstarter project, I absolutely recommend it!!
Otherwise, I hope August has started well for everyone!
ESCAPE IS LIVE!

Live for less than 15 minutes and already off to a flying start!
ESCAPE is the first project launched by a long-suffering friend of mine, so please go over and check it out! It's a refreshingly small camera bag designed to pack everything you need. Bells and whistles a'plenty, but in a fuss-free and well-excuted product that'll be sure to last you a very long time.
The special 'best price' is available for the next 48hrs so jump in on that and essentially pick up The Shuttle for free!
48% Hour Special Price Announcement - ESCAPE BAGS!

Hello everyone!
Jumping in with an update before the England Vs Germany game in the Euros. Not to be negative about England, but I will take a moment to congratulate Germany on their victory even before kickoff...
I hope the last 18 months or so have passed swiftly for you and you're getting back to normal...
While I am busy working away on my own future launches (I've also been helping people launch their own campaigns, so feel free to reach out in a DM if you're thinking about doing a Kickstarter and want any help!) a really good mate of mine is now a week away from launching his first product - ESCAPE.
This isn't actually Patagonia, apparently its the Lake District!
ESCAPE is a camera bag, in miniature. It's a small bag designed around serious use, and serious kit.
He, like many of us, got fed up with small and lightweight camera bags feeling cheap and nasty - or simply not being able to fit full size equipment. Generally speaking small camera bags lag behind their larger counterparts on features and quality - but not anymore. I've been firing my feedback off to him over the last 18 months or so of the bags development and the product he's about to launch is really impressive. ESCAPE is a 15ltr bag, but cleverly packaged so you'll be amazed at what fits inside.
For the first 48hrs there is going to be a special price discount - 30% off, £84 for the complete kit and major accessory!
I hope you like the campaign and support Andy's project, I'm not directly involved but as mates that chat via WhatsApp and down the pub, I'll be sure to keep an eye and help him out should he need it - which he won't, because the factory he's working with are experienced and have been superb so far!
Competition Winners Announced!

Hello hello hello!
First off, sorry this announcement was delayed. Although we're still in lockdown, time seems to be moving forward in great big lumps and I always seem to be busy with one thing or another...
Anyway! Better late than never...
Thank you to everyone that took part!
I saw some entries in story-tags, but ultimately chose these 3 as the finalists:
The 1st place £100 Amazon Gift Card goes to Ashley Golder - for making me hungry! Love this idea, and wish I'd done something similar in the original Kickstarter content. Inspired Ashley!
The 2nd place prize £50 Amazon Gift Card goes to Mark Elwick - for showcasing that it isn't just flat glass you can shoot through with the ULH! (and for reminding me that my dad once accidentally headbutted one of these and showered the kitchen in glass.)
Last but not least, the 3rd place £25 Amazon Gift Card goes to Sandra York - for bringing the window with her into the garden just to enjoy the sun and use the ULH. That's dedication!
A newcomer to Instagram, follow her to hopefully see more posts from Bermuda in the future! @sandra._.york
To the finalists, please check your inboxes as I'll DM you to get the prizes out!
This was fun, maybe I should do more of these in the future... Any photo challenge ideas out there?
I hope you all stay safe and that normality for you comes back swiftly!
Until next time,
// Josh
Boredom Busting Photo COMPETITION
about 4 years ago
– Fri, Mar 20, 2020 at 02:55:17 AM
With all that's going on in the world, now is a pretty good time to stay at home - whether that's because you have to, or because you want to. Stopping the spread of this virus needs to be the goal of everyone of us, but unfortunately it can be quite boring to be stuck at home...
So, I've decided to run a little Photo Competition!
There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the form of £100, £50, and £25 Amazon gift cards!
Rules?Yes it does.
To enter, you need to take a photothrough a window in/around your home using whatever ULH you have to hand! Whether you're shooting a sunset outside, or a relative doing a headstand inside - as long as its through a window, anything goes!
To enter:
Upload to Instagram (+ 2nd photo showing the BTS-setup so we know it was taken through glass!)
Tag @the_ULH
Hashtag #ULHindoorchallenge
Contest is live from the moment this update is posted until Friday April 17th. Winners will be announced on Saturday 18th and gift card codes sent via email.
If anyone wants to get their friends involved who don't own a ULH, we're now live on Amazon Prime:
Crowdfunding is community led, but its not just the backers. Theres also a creator-community that I'm pleased to say I have made some great friends throigh. This project is from one of those friends! He recently showed me what he'd been working on and I instantly saw a parallel with the kind of everyday usefulness I believe the ULH has.
The TechWrap is simple, compact and it keeps your gear safe. Exactly what we want, right?
"THE TECH WRAP is a multipurpose carry solution designed for photographers and filmmakers. It keeps camera gear and travel essentials protected, clean and dust free. It provides extra padding for any bag. The outside fabric is made from splashproof quality synthetic material. The inside fabric is made from soft microfibre and doubles as a cleaning cloth."
