A slightly different blog post this time, I’m going to recommend a product.

I’m not connected to this company in any way, in fact I don’t even know who makes them, but I think they are really useful.

The thing I want to tell you about is a cat laser, designed to keep your cat entertained. I have found it really useful for focusing medium and large format cameras in low light.

It has a red laser, a uv light and a white light. The laser setting can be a dot or a few different shapes, like a star.

You point it at the screen of the camera and it is projected onto the scene (the shapes work much better than the dot). You move the focus until the image in front of you looks clear and you have the focus!

The white light is useful for setting your aperture and the uv light will activate the luminous paint on your wristwach. All in all, extremely useful for night photography.

It doesn’t need batteries because it is recharged via a USB connector at the back end.

Currently £6.99 in the UK.
