No matter how sophisticated your equipment, no kit can handle every sticky situation, hazardous environment, or demanding shoot you put it through. In this course you’ll learn how to make your photographic gear work better, for longer, and how to come up with creative solutions to all kinds of unforeseen problems.

You’ll learn how to filter a PC to make it almost impervious to dust, create custom cases for oddly shaped gear, make use of old flashes, modify a light stand AC socket adapter so it doesn’t destroy umbrellas, build snoots and other light modifiers for speedlights, build a quality lav mic for your phone, build a battery power supply that will power just about anything, and more!
