Replied and sale pending.

I have for sale a camera I bought to use mainly as a backup and never really needed it. It saw very little usage and spent most of its life in a box. I'm selling it with all of the original packaging, manuals, in fact most of the accessories are still wrapped in plastic and were never used. I am...

I have for sale a TAD Dispatch field bag. It's a great travel brief case or even a small overnight bag with fantastic organization compartments. I've had this for a couple years, but it hasn't seen too much use as of the last year. I simply have too many bag of this type. Below is the review I...

I love the X-ti, so much so, just this week I doubled my inventory of Fuji goodies. On this Alpine Loop trip I used one X-t1 body, the 18-55 lens, and a Sirui carbon fiber tripod that weighs about a pound. It's a very light setup. I'm sorting out my kit for a trekking trip to Nepal and Everest...

This is an area of interest to me and has been since I started road and mountain bike racing in the mid 80s. The subject of wheel weight and performance is rife with misconceptions and myths. At the root of it, yes, lighter wheels perform better, but how much so is where piles of bullshet enter...

My only two cents I would add - it's easy to ask more of a fat tire than it can deliver. This is particularly true of ride compliance. While they are soft and squishy, they can also be bumpy and if over inflated and pushed to hard impact - damn violent on the rebound. This is all about tire...

As the organizer of the launch of the Bucksaw, and having the opportunity to take it to Iceland long before the hit dealers, I am a sucker for that bike. I do love it, an it is a perfect platform for the OP's unique needs. But, it is spendy. http://expeditionportal.com/salsa-bucksaw/ Riding it...

I don't bracket much as that seems like a throwback to film days. With the huge exposure comp dial, and the ability to make adjustments in post, the 3 captures at over/under a stop seem ample to me.

I just ordered a Sony RX100 iv and wondered if anyone here has tried one yet. On my motorcycle and mountain bike trips, I find I keep using my Sony 4K action cam for stills more than video...which is silly. So, I thought I might as well give the RX100 a go. By the way...anyone want to buy a...

Went with Adorama. Had the camera and lens I wanted for a very reasonable price, and on my doorstep 30 hours after placing the order.

I did my bikepack trip in Iceland with a Canon 5DMkII with a hulking 24-105L lens and a load of batteries. When I was dragging my mountain bike and all my camping gear up a 100 meter tall pile of volcanic ash I about cried and knowing my camera was on my back - did not help. The X-T1 has been so...

Keep in mind, the TAD Stealth Hoodie LT is fully taped and waterproof. It uses a fabric that is considerably more sophisticated than most. Schoeller makes some of the most advanced textiles in the world, so while it is expensive, it is priced appropriately. I'm not one to ever champion the more...

When I was 25 I developed a fondness for Ducatis and it crushed my wallet. There is no way around it, until you hit your 30s, any bike even remotely considered "sporty" is going to involve huge insurance dollars. I think I paid $3000 a year for my Ducati 916 when I was 25...nearly 20 years ago...

DigitalRev has prices that are hard to beat, but I've never purchased from them. Anyone? Any experience with them?

A 1x system is difficult on a drop bar bike with the shifters integrated into the brake levers (Sram Apex DoubleTap). If you ditch the front derailleur, you have the option of using a non-Doubletap brake lever, but then your levers don't have the same shape. Not good. The alternative is to use...

There is always an almost childlike hope that these diatribes will take a happy turn..... It's a good thread at the root of it because it showcases the witless divisions between groups. The most entertaining aspect of these "discussions" is never knowing where I fall within them. To a vast...

Hot off the digital press: http://expeditionportal.com/three-days-of-deadwood-bikepacking-the-alpine-loop/

So, I've decided to pop for another X-T1 body as well as the 50-140 lens. I'm now on the fence as to whether or not I want to also spring for the 10-24 or the 56mm/1.4. Decisions, decisions.

This will be my last post here as this is getting futile. Not that it matters, but the company I managed offered hiking, mountain biking, rafting, sea kayaking and multi-day adventure tours all in the thick of brown bear country. We primarily did mountain bike tours, a great way to bump into a...
