Steampunk Guitar Plays Like a Gibson

Jason Chen — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 13:00:06 EDT

Although we suck really hard at guitar (but we're fairly decent at Guitar Hero), we can still appreciate this custom made Villainizer steampunk guitar. It's a one-off guitar custom made out of a Rhodes Jackson V, with gauges, gears, pipes, welds, and a bunch of fake rust.

You probably can't get your hands on this one, but if you pay the maker a couple thousands bucks he may create one just for you. – Jason Chen

PMA 07: AlwaysOn Armadillo + Millipod Combo for Protection and Support

Charlie White — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 11:00:00 EST

MADE is best known for its sturdy line of silicone camera body condoms known as Camera Armour, but now the company's got a new product for the shirt-pocket photographer set, too. The AlwaysOn Armadillo + Millipod Combo is a neoprene wrap that attaches to the camera via tripod mount.

The mount includes a small fold-out tripod with a tiny bit of adjustment available on the front leg. There's also a plastic LCD protector for a little added protection on the backside. It seems like a good way to protect cameras that don't already have a case without having to deal with the whole hassle of losing the aforementioned case. Should be available soon for $30ish. – Curtis Joe Walker

Camera Armor, Get that DSLR Ready for Battle

Travis Hudson — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 16:04:47 EDT

Made will be launching a line of DSLR cases, or "armor" as they like to put it. They are elastometric cases that protect the camera from all of the bad stuff the earth has to throw at you. The camera armor will also come with Made's palm strap and ergonomic shoulder strap. Sounds like worthy investment if you like to take that big, bad DSLR out in the nature where it can easily get its ass kicked. No word on what models will be supported, but expect all of the popular models (like the pictured Canon 30D) to be supported. – Travis Hudson
