All of the hard drives allow you to store and back up files in a central location, feature compact streamlined designs and have capacity gauges showing how much space is available (except My Book Essential).

 LIGHTEN UP
When you’re out hiking trails or camping in the dark, take along the Pelican 2365 LED Flex-Neck flashlight. The 2365 features a 15-inch flexible cable neck that can be bent to shine the light anywhere that’s needed. Powered by two AA batteries, the flashlight’s next-generation LED provides clean, brilliant light for nearly 15 hours with a peak output of 45 lumens. It weighs 9.3 ounces. List Price: $49. Contact: Pelican Products, www.pelican.com.
 RUGGED BLADE
The Bravo Rescue is the latest tactical knife to come from Buck Knives. Tough and reliable, the knife features a 3½-inch blade with enhanced tip strength, so it holds up in the most challenging circumstances. The blade is glass bead-blasted for corrosion resistance and has a thumb stud for easy opening. When open, the folding knife measures 8¾ inches; it weighs 7 ounces. List Price: $100.. Contact: Buck Knieves, (800) 326-2825, www.buckknives.com.
 B & W NEGATIVE SCANS
If you have a sizeable collection of black-and-white negatives that you’re hoping to preserve, ScanCafe now offers a scanning service tailored especially for that need. Because silver-halide film often is more brittle and tends to scratch easily, ScanCafe has developed a process by which negatives are enlarged to a minimum of 1920x1080 pixels and visible defects are removed by hand. The result is 3,000 dpi images with increased tonal depth, dynamic range and sharpness. List Price: $0.69 per negative. Contact: ScanCafe, (866) 745-0392, www.scancafe.com.
 CAMP CHAIR
Take a seat in the Therm-a-Rest Compack Chair. At just 6 ounces, the chair sleeve transforms any regular-size Therm-a-Rest mattress into a camp chair. Constructed with ultralight silnylon and aluminum poles, it packs incredibly small so it won’t weigh you down. List Price: $39. Contact: Therm-a-Rest, (800) 531-9531, www.thermarest.com.
 CAMERA HOLDER
Carry your D-SLR comfortably with the HoldSLR collapsible camera carrier. Using a simple hook, the carrier attaches to almost any kind of strap or belt, such as the chest strap of a backpack or a pants belt. No special strap systems are necessary. The carrier also has an expandable weather-resistant lens boot to accommodate different-sized lenses, from wide-angles to long telephoto zooms. It has been tested to withstand up to 20 pounds of weight. List Price: $59. Contact: HoldSLR, Inc., www.holdsir.com.
 PICTURE WINDOW
A redesigned and more powerful RAW converter, batch processing and improved editing tools are some of the features included in the latest update of Digital Light Color’s Picture Window Pro. When using the program, typical image enhancements are made through “transformations.” Every time a transformation is applied, the app creates a new copy of the image so you can compare it with the original file. In Version 5.0, there are new transformations for increasing vibrancy and sharpness, as well as remapping color. List Price: $89. Contact: Digital Light Color, (617) 489-8858, www.dl-c.com.
 IN THE BAG
When all your next photo trip calls for is a camera and lens, carry them in M-Rock’s Yellowstone camera bag. It holds a D-SLR body with a 4.5-inch lens attached. Two padded, dual-adjustable shoulder straps allow you to wear it as a messenger bag, backpack or waist pouch. The scratch-resistant interior is made of dense closed-cell foam and plastic panels for protecting gear without adding too much bulk. A small tripod can be attached using the rubber straps below. List Price: $55. Contact: M-Rock, (800) 773-7067, www.m-rock.com.
