I recently got a call from friend and photographer Justin Steele who was trying to mount a camera on his bike. I instantly knew he needed a cardellini clamp!

It’s official, my new website and blog are up and running. I’d love to know what everyone thinks of the new site.

If you’ve got any suggestions, I’d love to hear them!
