Some camera accessories bought from amazon

I have been on a shopping mood recently for my camera and Gopro session accessories. I bought 3 items from amazon, Joby handphone mount, amazonbasics Gopro mount and Manfrotto pixi evo mini tripod for my XT-1. Also, I have been pondering if I should get a real tripod as well.

For the mounts, there is nothing much to talk about. The Joby mount is all hard plastics (other than the spring catch) and looks to be durable for me. As for the mini tripod, it is pretty big and has some neat functions. Overall, it is a well designed and sturdy enough to hold up to 2.5 kg load on its ball head which is great. I hope it can be good companion to my XT-1.

Here are the pics:

As father's day is approaching, i decided to get myself a present which is a telephoto lens which I have been considering for a while. It is to complete my basic lens collection, a prime, a general purpose and a telephoto lens.

This lens is not new, it has been in the market for a couple of years and it has pretty good review although the reach is not that far. There is a super telephoto lens which is released not long ago but it is too expensive for me. I think this current lens should be able to satisfy my needs.

I buy this lens online from amazon as it is much cheaper than buying it locally. A few hundred bucks difference (including taxes) and I don't know why. So I decided to get it. It arrived in around 2 weeks time.

For the reviews and unboxing videos, there is a number of them online. As I am still a amateur, I will just show the pics in this post. I took the pics using XT-1 + 18-55mm lens.
