The team behind Tethertools have re-released Frio. You might remember Frio from many moons ago when Zeke at NicePhotoMag.com made that fun review ad thing? Let me refresh your memory…
So, yes, back and I’m quite fortunate to have had the set to play with for some time now. The long and the short is Frio Photo has released a set of accessories that allow you to affix your flash / LED Panel / Audio gear (Mics) …actually, anything with a 1/4” 20 thread (or 5/8 via adaptors, or anything with a bit of MacGuyvery) to pretty much anything!
As wll as the original Frio (now called Hold) there’s a whole range, a couple of solid little clamps, a suction cup named Frio Cling, an articulating 1/4 20 gizmo called ‘Arch’ that you can mount on the clamps or a light stand or a tripod plate and a c-stand/arm version called ‘Stand’… anyways, you get it - these things are super handy and you need a kit of them in your camera bag - They’re like a “get out of lighting jail free” card that you can play when you need to.
That’s Frio Grasp Mini (There’s a Bigi version as well… as in …but not to be confused with the Notorious B.I.G)
I love this kit and they permanently live in my camera bag. They’re currently shipping to distributors and dealers around the globe, but you can get them directly from the FrioPhoto website for now.
In the immortal words of Jared Polin…. SEEYA
Disclaimer: I’m Frio’s social media manager, but here’s the thing, I’m thankfully only the social media manager for brands I believe in and love and actually use… so it’s a pretty good bet I genuinely love and use this stuff and the links aren’t monetised and, as always, you have to make up your own minds - will this stuff suit my workflow? will it benefit me and help me make more revenue because my lighting game is on-point… who knows, try it out.
