Photography Bay reports that Canon USA filed lawsuits against several well-known grey market retailers, among them Get It Digital and All New Shop
. This appears to be an effort to stop these retailers from selling imported, and hence often significantly discounted, Canon DSLRs in the USA.
Both cases have been filed at the New York Eastern District Court, Canon U.S.A. Inc. v. Get It Digital LLC et al and Canon U.S.A. Inc. v. F & E Trading LLC et al, on October 20, 2015. Photography Bay claims to have copies of the complaints filed by Canon. According to Photography Bay, Canon sees the following possible harms for customers:
The most worrying of the allegations listed above is the possibility of counterfeit serial numbers, and all what it might imply.
Please note: Some of the retailers Canon is suing have been featured here in the past. Given these news I can no longer recommend these retailers. However, in all these years I heard only one complaint from customers, and it was about being late with shipping.

You all know Joby Gorillapods, the clever and flexible mini tripods that can be attached or mounted on all sort of stuff. The Miggo Splat puts the idea a step further. The Miggo Splat is very small yet capable to get a 1.2kg DSLR mounted on. The really cool thing on this tiny tripod appear to be the legs, a concept that’s different from Gorillapods. These legs not only seem to be more sturdy, but also to adapt better to branches or wherever it happens you may fix your camera. Might be a good option for travel, and it’s just $24.99!
The folks at LensVid reviewed the Miggo Splat and posted their thoughts, they say:
After playing with the Splat for a few weeks we can say that its a really cool little accessory that we think any photographer will appreciate. Its flexible, easy to use, very versatile and extremely portable. No less important – its really inexpensive, making it a really cool impulse buy or gift.
Is the Splat a complete replacement for something like the heavy duty GorillaPod (like the GorillaPod Focus), probably not – the legs are simply not long enough and the camera can’t be positioned high enough – however if you just need to place a pretty heavy camera on a stable mini tripod and quickly change angles, the Splat is an awesome solution for 1/4 of the price.

For an overview watch the video above. The Miggo Splat tripod can be pre-ordered for $24.99 at B&H Photo.
