Video: COOPH shares 5 inexpensive ideas for macro photography

23 Apr

Cooperative of Photography (COOPH) has published a video on its YouTube channel that offers viewers five macro photography ideas. The video aims to demonstrate ways to capture striking images without investing in expensive equipment; one idea, for example, includes instructions on transforming an empty chips canister into a flash diffuser.

The video focuses on ordinary items and elements easily found in the home or office. COOPH demonstrates ways to capture unique textures using things like soap bubbles and sponges, as well as color patterns using prisms and macro still life using ordinary tiny objects like a pen spring. Below is a timestamped list of the specific ideas if you want to skip around.

COOPH photo vest features smartphone-controlled heating system

29 Nov

If you appreciate the practicality of a photo vest but aren’t really into the beige or khaki safari design of most traditional models, the new COOPH photo vest might be worth a closer look.

The vest features a more modern reversible padded design and comes in several color options. There are plenty of storage options for gear, accessories and smaller lenses. COOPH also says the vest is easy to fold and carry when not worn. The outer material is a rip-stop fabric and sheep wool is used for insulation.

Despite the attractive design touches, the vest’s real highlight feature is smartphone controlled built-in heating. The optional THERM-IC Heating System warms the hand pockets and heats kidney, back and stomach regions.

It is compatible with any 5V USB power bank and can be used as a simple “dumb” heating system. However, if you add the THERM-IC bluetooth dongle into the mix, it becomes smartphone-controllable. A dedicated app lets you control the temperature and a motion control mode provides more heat when you are static and reduces power while you are moving. An eco mode delivers a constant level of heat for best energy efficiency.

COOPH claims an approximate five hours runtime with its own THERM-IC 5200 mAh battery. Vest and heating system (including battery and dongle) are available as a bundle for approximately $ 440 (389 Euros). More information can be found on the COOPH website.

COOPH Field Jacket is 100% waterproof, designed for photographers

14 May

$ (document).ready(function() { SampleGalleryV2({“containerId”:”embeddedSampleGallery_5573536821″,”galleryId”:”5573536821″,”isEmbeddedWidget”:true,”standalone”:false,”selectedImageIndex”:0,”startInCommentsView”:false,”isMobile”:false}) });

Cooperative of Photography (COOPH) has introduced the Field Jacket, designed for photographers and made from a fully waterproof Swiss cotton fabric called EtaProof. The jacket features both inner and outer pockets for carrying photography gear, a quick-access smartphone pocket, and a small loop near the collar to fix a cable (from headphones or a microphone) in place.

The jacket’s material was first used to make overalls for WWII British Hurricane pilots, according to COOPH, offering a mixture of comfort and protection against hypothermia by blocking out water. Used to make COOPH’s Field Jacket, the fabric helps keep both photographers and their stowed gear dry without constricting movement or getting too warm. 

The Field Jacket is available in Black and sizes ‘small’ to ‘xx-large’ for €398. COOPH currently ships only within Europe, though some US distribution is becoming available.
