You have to see the footage to understand why I'm so HYPED about this new drone. Hands down my favorite addition to the tool kit and I just want to film with it MORE!

The AntiGravity A1 is the world’s first 360-camera drone… and after flying it, I’m convinced it’s about to change aerial filmmaking forever. In this video I ...

Guess which 360 camera's lens I broke 🙃

In today's video, I put the Insta360 X5 up against DJI’s first 360-camera, the DJI Osmo 360, and compare everything: 8K image quality, 10-bit vs 8-bit color,...

🚨 A camera that shoots 4K at 1,000fps for under $10K?! Just tested the new Pixboom Spark cinema camera and the slow-mo results blew my mind (fire dancing at night 🔥 and sledgehammers in glorious slow-mo)!

Alright, you've gotta see how pretty the pacific northwest is in today's video!

We're taking a look at the new SmallRig x Renan Ozturk X99 v-mount battery and it is TOUGH. I'm talking about accidentally dropping it 12 feet off a boulder onto rocks and yeeting it through gravel tough. You can pour a bottle of water on it to clean it tough.

It's a huge durability upgrade as a v-mount battery and it's lowkey an incredible and indestructible power bank! 😂

The SmallRig X99 is a rugged, over-engineered 99Wh V-mount battery co-designed with filmmaker Renan Ozturk, built for powering cameras and lights on location...

Hot take: Taking photos on an action camera is underrated. How I got here? This accessory transformed my video-centric Insta360 Ace Pro 2 into a well-rounded everyday camera. Capturing everything from skiing in August in the Swiss Alps to every day moments with friends and family... all while being rugged and waterproof 🤯

I tested 8 travel tripods and compared 29 data points to crown the BEST one for 2025. The results surprised me—and might surprise you too. Which tripod made it into my bag for Europe? 👀

In just a few days, Annette and I are off to Poland and Switzerland—and I need to decide which travel tripod earns a spot in my bag. So I put 8 tripods head-...

The Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM I/II has long been the E mount gold standard for dreamy portraits—but what if you could get 95% of that look for a third of the price? Enter the Viltrox 85mm f/1.4 PRO. Over several weeks, I put this lens to the test across sharpness, bokeh, autofocus, build quality, and video performance. I think the results will shock you!

Hot take: if you’re upset about this launch from Sony, you’re not the target audience. Also, is $5,000 for this camera a lot? Yeah. But, have you seen the prices of the rest of the tech industry skyrocketing because of the hostile trade environment? Also, yeah.
