Must Have Products

We are coming to the end of the year and I want to highlight some cool products that you 
should check out.  Products for the everyday consumer to the on-the-go filmmakers. 
We are also proud to showcase these products in our television series 

"The World's Most Dangerous Race" for 2013.

#1 Egyptian Magic

This is by far the best skin creams, especially when you're travelling.  I use this daily but great to use during the winter time.  Keeps skin moisturized all day and also can help heal any minor cuts.  I had a cut on my lip from filming and not looking where I was going.  The only thing I had in my bag was a small bottle of Egyptian Magic and the next day it was already healing up. Great for you and your kids.  All ingredients are natural. You can get your own and join the Egyptian Magic family! http://www.egyptianmagic.com/






#2 Geigerrig
For all my hiking lovers look no further then Geigerrig hydration packs.  These also work for filmmakers shooting in the wilderness.  Its extremely lightweight and holds 2L of water plus has pockets for your mobile phone and other personal items. http://www.geigerrig.com/

#3 XShot

I know I have mentioned XShot is a previous blog but I wanted to put it in my must have list. XShot is such a great product for anyone taking pictures with their iPhones and the person hanging from a cliff capturing the perfect moment.  XShot offers tripods for the iPhone and also durable extenders that attach to your camera or phones.  http://xshot.com/

#4 Goal Zero 

Offers solar charging kits! I'm a huge fan and Goal Zero will also be featured in the television series while filming in S. Africa.  We needed ways to charge our phones, laptops and also have lighting at our campsites.  Goal Zero provides just that.  In the series we are proud to showcase the Escape 150 as shown below.  http://www.goalzero.com/

#5  H20 Headphones
Now I love my music and I also like getting communication during film when shooting in the water.
H20 allows you to be submersed up to 12ft.  We had the wonderful opportunity to test these out and perfect sound while underwater.  You can hear your crew around you and the director giving direction.  Plus who doesn't like listening to their music while doing a water sport or working in water conditions.  http://www.h2oaudio.ca/

     #6  Midland Action Camera   

Midland created an action camera that is so user friendly. It allows you to bring your imagination of the outdoors to filmmaking.  While snowboarding or jumping off a cliff you are able to capture every moment and in HD.  I was quite amazed by the high quality of the shots. Outside and enjoy life with Midlands NEW action cameras https://midlandusa.com/xtc-cameras/

#7 ThinkSound Headphones

So if you want incredible sound, then ThinkSound if the only headphones you need. This headphones are perfect for the musical genius or mom who just got her new ipad.  Outside noise is eliminated.  Great to use has a phone headset. http://www.thinksound.com/index.php

#8 Victornix Swiss Army

When you need high quality outdoor apparel then Victornix Swiss Army should be your next purchase. They offer the best for both Men and Women. We are huge fans of their polo and athletic pants. Swiss Army is just not about elegant timepieces but creating apparel that protects you from the weather but gives you freedom for movement.  Which is very important when shooting an action packed series. http://www.victorinox.com

#9 FRS Energy Products

FRS offers you healthy energy!! Yes I said healthy.  As someone who lives on a vegetarian and sometimes very vegan its great to see a product that is jammed packed with healthy  ingredients.  FRS  has products you can use before and after your activities but also wonderful for cancer patients.  Check out their product line, you can thank me later http://www.frs.com/ 

#10 Strange Leather
Its not everyday that you come across custom leather pieces. I cannot express how happy I am to announce Strange Leather, Designer Michael Strange.  Michael creates some of the best leather designs, I have seen in a very long time.  You can find him on facebook https://www.facebook.com/StrangeLeather  Tell him I sent you :)

I could go on with all of my favorites but here are my top ten of 2012-2013. If you have a product that you think I might like, send it over.
