Like most photographers who’ve been doing this for a few years, I have quite the selection of tripods, and I’m quite partial to certain tripods being my favourites for specific tasks. The Manfrotto ONE Hybrid might have just replaced two of them for me. The Manfrotto ONE Hybrid is the first in a new line of tripods from Manfrotto designed for quick and easy use in the field without compromising on features or stability.

Third-party lens makers have been getting more and more interesting over the last few years, and Meike looks like it wants a bigger slice of that pie. While wandering the show floor at The Photography Show 2026, we stopped by the booth. We had a chat with Richard, who told us all about Meike’s latest releases, including a new trio of compact APS-C primes and an updated full-frame 85mm f/1.4. The headline announcement at the Meike booth was the company’s new “Air” series for APS-C lenses.

Tiny wearable first-person action cameras have become huge over the last few years. Of course, I don’t mean physically, I mean in popularity. And it’s easy to see why. Aside from the obvious benefits for shooting social media content, they’re also great tools for education, showing insights from perspectives we’d never normally be able to see, and many other uses. We take a look at the current crop of tiny wearable action cameras to see how they compare.
