6 ways to mod your camera

Whether a pro or a novice shooter, there’s no disputing we love our kit. But even the best cameras on the market can be improved. Photographers love using Sugru Mouldable Glue to make subtle modifications to their equipment, which ultimately enhances their technique. As a soft-touch mouldable glue that, when set, turns into a flexible, durable rubber, it’s perfect for customising, improving and protecting precious tech. Sugru sticks to most materials and is ergonomically responsive, protective, and mighty grippy.

Here are just some of the ways you can cleverly mod your camera kit with Sugru.

When it comes to industrial design, one size fits all, unless you’re part of the luxury elite. Sugru’s advanced silicone technology has helped hundreds of photographers mould personalised rubber grips. Sugru comes in 10 colours so you can blend in or stand out.

Wherever you need to mount your gear Sugru will do the job out without damaging it. Should you need to remove the Sugru, simply cut it off off, then clean the surface with a cloth. It will form a strong bond to lots of materials like metal, glass, wood, ceramic, most plastics, and even fabrics!

Technology may become more compact and sophisticated, but it’s often the little things that get forgotten. Sugru’s mouldability makes it brilliant for improving the tiny control buttons on most cameras. You can also colour-code certain features.

Modern cameras’ auto capabilities are impressive. Yet our option to manually control our shots is just as important. Use Sugru to build bespoke focus rings. You’ll get better control over this sensitive mechanism, and it will fit your shooting style.

However much you look after expensive tech, there’s always a risk of losing vital components and accessories. Sugru is great for keeping lens caps to hand or making protective silicone cushions for the camera body. And even if you do drop it, Sugru’s shock-resistant properties could save it from serious damage.

The beauty of photography is its variety, be it style, subject matter, or hardware. Sometimes we just want “that look” only certain cameras achieve. Sugru allows you to adapt any camera to suit your technique. Nothing is out of reach.
