NiSi Clever Cleaner for square filters
£7 nisioptics.co.uk If you're a regular user of square filters, you'll know how easy it is to get them covered in fingerprints from sliding them into the holder and removing them after use. This handy device springs open to reveal a rectangular felt cleaning pad, to help keep their surfaces clean and in perfect condition. Packed up it measures just 8x4x1.5cm, so it will slip easily into your camera bag.
VSGO Tumbler air blower £19 vsgophoto.com Bulb air blowers are invaluable for keeping your camera's sensor clean of dust, which can leave unsightly blobs on your images. This 10cm tall version is a particularly fine example. It filters the air that it draws into the bulb and employs a soft silicone tip that won't damage your sensor. A weighted base means that it always stands upright, which helps keep the tip clean. Finally, it comes in a choice of colours.
SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I 128GB £21 shop.sandisk.com/en-gb Every photographer needs a good SD card or two, with SanDisk's Extreme PRO range offering high performance at a sensible price. They promise write speeds of 90MB/s and read speeds up to 200MB/s, at prices ranging from a mere £12 for 32GB, right up to £318 for an extraordinary 2TB. If you regularly shoot high-resolution video or high-speed bursts, you'll probably benefit from the faster but more expensive UHS-II version.
