ProGrade Digital Memory Cards

Ask any photographer what it is they really want, and “more memory” will definitely be in their top 10. ProGrade Digital Memory cards make the perfect little present. Featuring a high storage capacity of 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB, these cards take advantage of the UHS-II bus to support maximum read speeds of 300 MB/s and maximum write speeds of 250 MB/s. Well-suited for RAW photos and rapid-fire bursts, these cards are UHS-II/V90 compatible, but may be used in devices that don’t support that interface, albeit at slightly diminished speeds. Built for extreme conditions, these cards from ProGrade withstand temperatures from -13°F to 185°F, are shockproof and x-ray proof, and a built-in write protect switch helps safeguard content from being erased.

It’s compatible with Windows and Mac straight out of the box, and uses a USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C interface, and no external power adapters are required.

Stocking Stuffers


And if you’re feeling truly generous this year, why not add on one of these great stocking stuffers? After all, good things do come in small packages!

Memory Card Cases

Keep memory cards secure and organized with a memory card case from Think Tank. The Pixel Pocket Rocket comes in two sizes and stores either four or 10 cards. They attach easily to a bag (or you!) and also feature a built-in business card holder for easy identification. If your favorite photographer tends to be tough on their gear, go for a Pelican memory card case. With options for both CF and SD cards, these cases are constructed of polycarbonate resin, features a water-resistant seal and a shock-absorbing liner for extra protection.

Gloves

Keep fingers from freezing when shooting outdoors, but still keep them functional with Thinsulate gloves from Freehands. These industry-leading gloves feature windproof/waterproof back as well as a full Thinsulate lining. This is the #1 photography glove. It features a windproof/waterproof back and a full Thinsulate lining for warmth. The finger cap edges are reinforced for durability and overlap when closed for maximum warmth. The stretch around the thumb on the palm side has been reinforced, making for a better fit. These gloves also feature a digital palm patch for increased gripping power, as well as magnetically secured, fold-back fingertips.

Lens Cleaning Spray

Everyone appreciates a nice, clean camera! Photo Clear Lens Treatment Fluid delivers serious cleaning power, even on heavier residue, while resisting static, dust, and fogging. Packaged in a shatterproof, non-aerosol bottle, each one-ounce Photo Clear Lens Treatment Fluid is good for more than 300 applications.

UV Filters

Available in a variety of sizes, ProMaster filters block invisible UV light during shooting, which can cause blur or even an unwanted blue cast. Each glass surface is vacuum-coated with anti-reflection coating, helping to prevent internal ghosting and reflections.

Cuffs and Straps

Protect your camera from gut-retching drops with a Peak Design cuff or strap now available in two new colors: Midnight and Sage.

Gift Cards

And if you’re still stumped on which gift to give, a pictureline gift card in any amount makes the perfect present.
