You Can Be In The Picture Too

As I stated in my Top Ten Thursday post, IzeaFest was amazing.  One of the prizes that I won from BenSpark.com was an XShot.  As soon as I found out I was going to receive an XShot I was thrilled.  I couldn’t wait to try it out.  After arriving in Orlando, FL I practiced throughout the weekend using the XShot for my first time.  I was able to capture photos of my new friends during the conference with me in the picture as well.  I didn’t even have to ask someone to take it.  This thing is so cool.  Since IzeaFest I have taken the XShot along to two other conferences trying it out and practicing at how many people I can get in one photo.

During Halloween my family and I went to a haunted theme park and were all able to get in the photo together.  The XShot has become an accessory that stays attached to my camera and goes with me just about everywhere.  I love how it slides down to a perfect purse size to make easy for carry-along and even has a strap.  Your camera screws right into the XShot just like it would on a tripod.  You can set the top piece at several different angels to be able to take photos from all views.  This is a truly great gadget and very easy to use.

Here is a short clip on how the XShot works and what it looks like.

Good news is Michael from XShot is allowing me to give one lucky reader their very own XShot.

Full Disclosure: I won my XShot from entering the Ultimate IzeaFest contest on BenSpark.com.  I was not asked to write this review nor was I paid to do so.  Michael was generous enough to give me one extra XShot to give away to one lucky reader on my blog any way I felt since I enjoyed it enough I wanted to share with my readers.  I will personally pay to ship the XShot to the lucky winner within the United States of America.
