What's Your Favorite Gadget/Accessory...

...for under $200? I was going to say $100, but I'm old, and $100 ain't what i used to be!

Mine was a negative scanner I picked up at a garage sake about 20 yrs ago for $5 or $15. I still use it.

A travel pack of Kleenex. Great for wiping the shine off your portrait subject faces. Also good for blowing your nose but, don't use that one for wiping yur subject's faces...

I've had a quick release plate on every camera I've owned for decades. Quick Release Plate Systems

When you decide to buy one, get three instead, because over time...
1. You will want another one anyway.
2. You'll lose one.
3. And they'll have stopped making that model & you won't be able to find a replacement.

Markins L plate...makes life so much easier. Either that or my 30L MEC bag with a padded insert.

Lowepro Micro Trekker 100. Love it!
