Camera Tool

Peter McKinnon Camera Tool — One Pocket Tool for Every On-Set Adjustment

The gist: A professional-grade multi-tool engineered for camera work — freelance videographers and content studios can consolidate their loose screwdrivers and quick-release keys into one durable, clippable item.

• Any 1/4” hex bit: Swap in the bits your rig actually requires — from camera cage thumb screws to tripod plate hex bolts — and store eight spares in the built-in bit case.
• SD card backup slot: Hidden internal holder keeps a spare or overflow card accessible during fast-paced client shoots.
• Lifetime warranty: 6061 anodized aluminum + 17-4 stainless steel internals and S2 tool-grade bits mean this isn’t a consumable — a one-time professional equipment purchase.
• Includes zippered pouch: Keeps the tool, bits, and case organized in a camera bag or kit bag without loose parts.

PetaPixel called it a “Swiss Army Knife for photographers,” noting the lever-eject design and SD card slot as standout features that distinguish it from generic multi-tools.

Best for: Freelance videographers, studio assistants, and content creators who regularly adjust rigs and can’t lose tools on set. Skip it if: Your workflow is entirely phone or mirrorless with no cage or accessories — simpler tools cost far less. Runs ~$95 — check the current price before buying.
