Chimpsy

This company is a SCAM, PLEASE stay away and save your money! They capture every outdoor class when it is CLOUDY, not even raining. I asked for a refund six times and never got my money back, they clearly intended to steal my money the entire time. I’ve never had an experience this bad in my life. Please stay away from these thieves.

Joel is the instructor and did a great job going over things and working with the students (that said I thought that the class was more beginner than intermediate). That said, the corporate side of Chimpsy absolutely sucks. There is no easy way to contact them. There was no working phone number, email takes several days to respond. I would not recommend Chimpsy.

I took advantage of a Chimpsy Field Trip (now Crash Course) in the Fall and am still using my newly acquired skills with my camera now. It was a very approachable way to learning. The first hour was instruction and the instructor provided basic tips and let each of us ask questions about our particular camera. Then, the second hour we got to test out our new skills in East Austin. This hands-​on approach meant that I learned more about my camera than the manual could ever teach me, and I’m using the tips and tricks with my camera today… my favorite of which is that I NEVER use my flash no matter what time of day. The time was definitely well spent!
