At The Usual we're noticing that mobile content creation is becoming more professional. This is due to the accessibility of phones and advances in phone camera technology. Video quality in particular is stunning on current phones and will only improve. Anyone can now use their phones to shoot epic videos, even professionals - here are some of our favourites.  Stunning right? With this in mind and our interest in this space we've been on the hunt for products for mobile creators. We're happy to show you the first product we are stocking - the ShoulderPod G2. The G2 is a professional grade mobile video mount and grip. It provides the platform you need to get started in great mobile video including: A stable mounting platform. With a universal clamp that holds a range of phones. It also has two tripod mounts for two different camera orientations. The flexibility to accomodate a range of accessories with 6 cold shoe mounts. Perfect for mounting an external microphone and light. An ergonomic handle. For stable camera movements. We're excited to see what you create with the G2, don't forget to tag us @theusualstore as well. You can check out the ShoulderPod G2 here.  

We stumbled upon Northern - a new furniture brand while browsing this post by Wallpaper.   We like a bit of that Nordic design aesthetic here at The Usual and we can't resist a nice desk. So it shouldn't be any surprise that our favourite piece in the Shelter desk. We love it because of its simple streamlined design. The perforated steel screen adds a dash of texture.   Check it out on their website.

Even though I spend most of my time on an electronic device it is hard to deny the appeal of pen and paper. With these beautiful Memo Blocks from Ito Bindery it would be even harder. On second thought it might be easier because I'd rather look than write on them.   I'll need to get them to find out. If I had to choose my favourite it would be the smaller one in the bright red. I can't seem to find it at any local stockists of that colour in Australia - but I did at Need Supply.   Link via - Minimalissimo

We love the design of the Bunaco wireless speaker by Nendo.    The first thing the caught our eye was the strip of coiled beechwood. According to Nendo beechwood has sound absorbing qualities - giving it a unique sound. It got our attention so much we almost missed seeing the power cable going through it! No word on pricing or a release date but click on the link to ogle are more images of this speaker. - Link (via Dezeen)
