If last weekend's Lutz Minicamper seemed a little too cushy, expensive or pavement-limited for you, perhaps you'll like the Let's Go Aero (LGA) Crashpad a little better. Originally designed as a ruggedized towable pickup bed for hauling heavy, jagged cargo across equally jagged off-road surfaces, LGA's trailer now transforms into a pull-behind pop-top pickup camper of the simplest form. It's an affordable, hassle-free and versatile way to travel and camp your way through the wild.

We're back with another accessory roundup. This week, we're taking a look at memory cards, memory cards, and more cards! Oh, and some other stuff, too, but we'll get to that right after we discuss the deals.
On sale this week Photo: Brendan NystedtIf you're looking for an entry-level full-frame camera, Canon's EOS R8 is one of the cheapest ever released. That's especially true now that it's on sale for $200 off, putting it at only $1300. It doesn't have all the whizz-bang features of more expensive models – IBIS is a particularly notable omission – but for the price, it's hard to complain.
Buy now:
$1499 at Amazon.com$1499 at Adorama$1499 at B&H PhotoIf you've got $2000 to spend on a mirrorless camera, there are a lot of great options. But if you're feeling nostalgic, you're in luck – the Nikon D850 is currently on sale for $400 off. It may be a camera destined for the history books, but that doesn't mean there's no reason to use one today.

$1996 at Amazon.comBuy at B&H Photo A deck of cards Image: PergearIt's a big week for CFexpress cards – we've seen several new options hit the market. The first two are from Pergear and Novachips, and are aimed at budget-conscious shooters. The former company is offering CFexpress Type A cards starting at just $129 for a 256GB model. Type A cards have always been more expensive than Type B or SD models, likely partly because they're far less common – Sony is the only major manufacturer whose cameras use the standard.
Novachips, meanwhile, is selling both Type A and Type B cards. You can get a 330GB Type A card for $238, and a 256GB Type B card for just $125.
Meanwhile, Delkin has updated its lineup of CFexpress Type B cards, making them even faster and adding more storage options. Unlike the other cards we've covered today, these ones aren't particularly cheap. But if you need the utmost performance, they may be the way to go.
A do-it-all reader Image: SmallRigIf you end up buying one of those CFexpress cards, you'll probably want a way to offload data from it to your computer. SmallRig has you covered. Its new 9-in-1 docking stations offer either a CFexpress Type A or Type B reader, along with myriad other I/O options.
Despite costing less than some dedicated CFexpress card readers, the docks also include SD and Micro SD readers, two 5Gbps USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, one of which can accept 100W of power to pass along to your computer, HDMI and gigabit Ethernet ports. It also includes a cable that lets you connect it to your computer and transfer data at up to 10Gbps, though its CFexpress read speeds are limited to a (still quite fast) 6Gbps. The one downside is that you'll have to decide whether you want a dock with a Type A reader or a Type B reader; there isn't one that does both.
Buy at B&H Buy at Amazon A bright idea Image: SmallRigSmallRig is also becoming a major player in the budget lighting space, to the point where it's releasing add-on products for its COB lights. This week, the company introduced the SP-mini, a spotlight attachment for its lights with the RCmini mount, including the RC60B/C and RC100B/C.
It does pretty much what it says on the tin, allowing you to focus your light on a narrow area, highlighting your subject. It also comes with 10 gobos to help you shape the light, creating interesting patterns in shadow.
The SP-mini is available now for $149.
Buy at SmallRig The ProPackIf you're a medium-format shooter and a fan of CineStill's 400D film, we've got great news: you can now buy a "ProPack" with five rolls of the 120 film. You won't save much by doing so – it's only around $3 cheaper than buying five individual roles – but at least you'll know you've got enough on hand for whatever you want to photograph.

Tamron hasn't announced any new lenses, but it is having a spring sales event from now until April 20th. That means you can pick up some of its best glass for up to $200 off. The sales are available on Tamron's site and through retailers like B&H and Amazon. You can see which lenses are on sale and how much off you can expect on the company's website.
We think we know what someone means when they call something "airplane-shaped," but real-world aircraft come in a surprising variety of forms. Two particular oddities were so far out on the bell curve that they were known as the "Flying Flapjacks."
