Targus Universal Digital Camera Accessory Kit
camera accessory, digital camera zoomOver the few days we all had off surrounding Thanksgiving, I spent a whole day cruising the web, weighing the benefits of getting an SLR camera and deciding just how much of a digital camera zoom I need. After hours of research, I figured out what I was looking for and then spent about another hour price comparing online. After finding that perfect deal, I pulled the trigger. Fast forward a few days and it was here. I have since had a lot of fun messing around with the different features, taking pictures and enjoying all that is a digital camera zoom.

The camera I got came with the computer hook ups, some software, SD card and charger. When I talked to my mom and told her about the purchase she was excited and wanted me to be sure to bring it come the days before Christmas so we could get some good family photos. She asked if I had a little tripod so we could get the whole family in a couple pictures. I don’t. My camera like most has a self timer but unless we take the picture by a counter or something I’ll have to fab up something for a sudo tripod.

I started looking around online to see what a tripod camera accessory would cost. While looking around within Electronic Photo Gadgets at http://www.electronicphotogadgets.com/ I came across a couple viable holiday options. I was really surprised at what I found. One of my favorite options, called the Tragus Universal Digital Camera Accessory Kit, seen in the picture above comes with all sorts of goodies including a mini tripod that would work perfect for holiday family pictures. Here is what the camera accessory product description says about it:

The Targus Universal Digital Camera Starter Kit contains everything you need to protect, clean, and organize your digital camera and accessories.  The digital maintenance kit includes Universal Screen Shields and lens care kit along with a Universal memory card wallet that fits up to six CF, SD, MS or XD cards.  The compact weather resistant carrying case has a removable shoulder strap to allow you to have your hands-free to use your camera.  Get that perfect shot with the compact aluminum tripod that can extend to six inches.


My mom wants us to take and develop some new family pictures to frame and give to our grandma for Christmas. Grandma gifts are all about being sentimental. Ours has lived a long life and at this point, she just wants little reminders of loved ones. This camera accessory kit can make that happen plus it will keep my camera protected and shining.
