Coronado's Dana Neibert is an accomplished commercial photographer that just launched his first creative project to be publicly backed using a crowdfunding company called Kickstarter.  Kickstarter allows individuals to invest in projects, events, ideas and help bring them to life.  Dana's goal is to raise $20,000 to place a larger initial order so that costs can be kept down as they approach a public release.  Click here to watch the video overview of DigiPlate.

The Challenge
The laptop has become just as much as a part of photography as the camera. The problem with the laptop is we never have a good place to put it when we shoot "tethered". Sometimes a table is handy. Sometimes a table gets in the way. Sometimes the laptop ends up balanced on the edge of a chair. Sometimes it ends up sitting on some dewey grass at six in the morning. Then someone steps on it.

The Idea:  DigiPlate
We've come up with a solution that allows the laptop to be mounted with the use of many existing accessories in many creative and convenient places. For the past couple years, we've been using just a slab of aluminum for a mounting platform.
