Anything and everything tech related.
The NAMM (the National Association of Music Merchants) show 2020 kicks off in Anaheim today bringing with it a smattering of new audio recording gear. Legendary speaker manufacturer Mackie has used the event to announce several new products, including some headphones and microphones which are designed for podcasters, streamers and other online creators. Here’s what […]
The new Evolve 2 drone from Hong Kong based XDynamics features specs that rival the DJI Inspire 2/X5S combo, for only $3699. Now $3699 is by no means cheap, but when you look at the specs the Evolve 2 is packing — micro 4/3 sensor with interchangeable lenses, 4K/120fps and Pro-Res capable, 33min flight time […]
The Consumer Electronics Show (aka CES) has once again brought with it a flurry of new smartphones, cameras, TVs, drones, laptops, smarthome devices and everything in between. A lot of the tech on display will never make it into consumers’ hands but there is a substantial amount that is also available within the next few […]
Popular 360° camera maker Insta360 dipped their toe into the action cam market this past summer with the super-tiny Insta360 GO, but with the release of the new Insta360 One R, they have jumped fully in. The new One R is unlike any action camera we’ve seen to date due to its modular design. Depending […]
The new VideoMic NTG by RØDE is like a Swiss Army knife — and other microphone manufacturers should be scared. Most microphones are for fairly specific uses and, as a result, many creators will own several mics. (I personally own a shotgun mic for filmmaking, an on-camera mic for general videography, a lavaliere mic for […]
The Moza SlyPod is arguably one of the more exciting pieces of filmmaking gear we’ve seen released in 2019. It blurs the line between slider and monopod — giving on the go filmmakers the ability to get incredibly smooth slider shots without lugging several pounds of gear. However, its price tag of $499 has likely […]
DJI might be the current drone king, but that doesn’t mean they will be forever — especially if the Skydio 2 performs as promised. A followup to the original Skydio R1 drone, this second generation is (to quote Daft Punk) “Harder, better, faster, stronger”. It can fly for longer, has more onboard processing and more […]
GoPro kicked off October by announcing their new flagship action camera the GoPro HERO 8 Black. Though most of the specs leaked out prior to this announcement in some way or another, GoPro was still able to keep a couple of features under wraps. Here’s what you need to know about the new GoPro 8: […]
DJI is known for two things: drones and gimbals. And with no new drone releases in the past year, gimbals have definitely dominated. In December 2018 we saw the incredibly popular Osmo Pocket make its debut. Then just last month DJI modernized its Ronin lineup with Ronin-SC. Now, with their most recent release, DJI is […]
Though not the first camera under $3000 to feature internal 6K video recording capabilities, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K is sure to be popular among beginner filmmakers. To achieve the higher resolution, Blackmagic built the new camera around a 6144×3456 Super 35-size sensor, capable of 13 stops of dynamic range. For comparison, the Pocket […]
