PRL Lighting Lusta 50 – $335-$399 The Lustra 50 is a unique piece of lighting equipment, in that it is incredibly compact but gives off a hell of a lot of light. This portable, high-output LED light is great for professionals and amateurs alike. As a worthy alternative to the use of strobes & flash, the product features a 12V power supply, full 100% dimming range, and a flicker-free experience thanks to the microprocessor. With the Lustra 50, photographers can ensure that they have optimal lighting, wherever and whenever. The Lustra 50 can be purchased with two additional accessories—the SofBox, which attaches to the front of the Lustra to give the photographer more control over the softness of the lighting, and a set of 3 filters that can be used to improve color rendition and the quality of your images. The Lusta 50 goes for $335, the Sofbox is $89, and the filter set is $40, however if you purchase them all together you get a great deal of $399.
Evo SP-Pro Gen 2 Gimbal – $299 The Evo SP-Pro Gen 2 Gimbal is a smartphone stabilizer compatible with IPhone, Android, action cameras, and 360 cameras. If you are someone who loves to shoot video or vlog via smartphone, this particular device is just for you.

One of the most unique features is that it gives you access to all camera settings on the handle without ever having to touch the screen. With 40% increase in motor speed and 35% increase in reaction speed, this new model blows their competition out of the water. Furthermore, the battery life is over 14 hours and has built in smartphone charging capabilities. This new gimbal from Evo raised the bar once again, and you’d get plenty of brownie points when gifting it.

Also featured is a 45-point all-cross type AF system, which is certainly a one-up from it’s predecessor giving you the opportunity to track your subject with accuracy. Another revamped spec is the Full HD at 60p, that provides an improved focus for live viewing and videoing compared to the older Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology. It doesn’t stop there though, the camera is now dust and water proof, with a built in GPS for geo-tagging, also including a wifi and bluetooth connector for your smartphone. Basically you get all you need in this one camera, and if you plan on gifting it, don’t worry about the gift receipt, they surely won’t need it.
