New Canon OC-E4A flash cable powers accessories directly from the camera
When Canon released the EOS R3 (buy here) in 2021, they also increased the functionality on top of the camera with a new multi-function hot shoe. As well as providing communication between the camera and various accessories, it also supplies them with power. Accessories like the Canon DM-E1D (buy here) on-camera microphone and Canon ST-E10 (buy here) flash trigger.
So far, those seem to be the only accessories available that take power from Canon’s multi-function hot shoe, but Canon is perhaps prepping for the future with their new OC-E4A cable (buy here). But power isn’t all the cable can forward to accessories. It also extends complete communication from the hotshoe, allowing you to get your speedlights off-camera – to a distance of 80cm.

It’s December again, which means lots of us are sitting there wondering what to buy for ourselves or the photographer in our lives this holiday season.

Adorama lists DJI Avata accessories for pre-order before DJI even announces the drone
The DJI Avata has been a hot topic in the drone world since rumours of its existence first started to appear. And once leaks of its design started to appear, things got even more exciting. There’s been no official announcement from DJI about the upcoming cinewhoop style FPV drone yet, and they haven’t even said when we can expect one yet. But that hasn’t stopped one retailer from listing a bunch of the accessories already.
Adorama has listed a number of new accessories for the DJI Avata drone on their website, along with the accompanying new FPV Goggles 2. The individual product pages have already been taken down already but they do still show up in the website search results. Fortunately, DroneDJ managed to get screenshots of the individual listings with some of the details on each, revealing a few things about the drone itself.
Building your Fujifilm Photography Kit Part 3: Essential Accessories
Oh boy, everyone’s favorite topic, accessories for your Fujifilm camera! This can get wild…
Now, obviously, I can’t mention every single accessory that’s compatible with Fujifilm cameras.
Like the first two parts in this series, I’m going to try to keep this at more of a practical level, determining how to set up your Fujifilm kit with the essentials, rather than tell you which specific products to buy (though I will certainly make recommendations).
So let’s get to it.

Ricoh’s longer focal length GR IIIx and accessories are now available to pre-order
Since its initial announcement last month, many Ricoh fans have been waiting to be able to get their pre-orders in for the new Ricoh GR IIIx digital camera. Well, now, they can and it’ll cost you around $999. Over the GR III it sees a longer focal length, new face and eye-detection AF, improved in-camera editing and a bunch of new accessories.
The body of the camera hasn’t changed at all, and it still looks and feels largely the same, except when you shoot with it, you’ll have a slightly narrower field of view, going from the 28mm equivalent on the GR III to a 40mm equivalent on the GR IIIx – which is said to deliver “a new, innovative perspective perfect for dramatic, inspiring street photography”.
Canon EOS R3 added to Canon’s product list – Announcement this month with new lenses and accessories
Well, we all expected the Canon EOS R3 to be announced at some point this month and it looks like that might be true after Nokishita tweeted that the EOS R3 along with a number of accessories has been added to Canon’s latest product list. As well as the EOS R3 camera, two new RF mount lenses are also expected in the announcement, including a 100-400mm zoom and a 16mm f/2.8 ultra-wide.
Nikon kills off the Coolpix B600 – several accessories under “temporary suspension”
Nikon has discontinued its Coolpix B600 bridge camera due to parts supply uncertainty, released in March 2019. The camera wasn’t particularly high end, typically selling for around $350, housing a 16-megapixel 1/2.3″ CMOS sensor and only capable of shooting 1080p video, but at only just over two years old, it seems a bit soon for a camera that boasts a 60x optical zoom.
As well as killing off the Coolpix B600, Nikon has also announced the “temporary suspension” of several other accessories, including the EH-5D AC adapter, the SU-800 infrared on-camera commander and its RC1C ringlight kit along with the SB-R200 speedlights.
Frio relaunches as a one-stop shop for small light mounting accessories
Frio, the maker of the Frio cold shoe has relaunched under the new management of Imaging Brands, the company which also owns Tether Tools, as a new one-stop shop for off-camera light mounting solutions for photographers and filmmaking. The original Frio cold shoe has now been renamed the Frio Hold and the product line has been expanded with a number of new mounting solutions.
The new lineup includes a number of products for mounting hotshoe based lights including speedlights and LEDs, in various ways to help offer you more versatility on location when choosing where to put your lights, microphones, monitors or other small devices.
