I've tried a lot of field monitors over the years. A lot. Small, large, bright, ...not so bright. They all have their perks, and their downsides. But, very few really stand out from the crowd. The OSEE T7 is one of those that do.

Tech Zone Audio sent me their Stellar X2 to check out, and (spoiler alert) I've been extremely impressed. The X2 can do quite a lot- instruments or vocals, for example... but of course I wanted to see how it handled for YouTube or podcasting type use. I switched it back and forth with the very [...]
Hollyland is well known for making solid performing wireless video systems in a range of prices and designs.

I myself have used and owned a ton of their speedlights, studio strobes, continuous LED lights and now... even more.

Camera backpacks are a dime a dozen. Not this one. The Wotancraft Pilot messenger bag was already one of my favorites- with a rugged and handsome design, modular storage and a surprisingly large capacity with hidden pockets and great interior velcro add ons. Well, they upped the size with the Pilot backpack, and made it [...]
Gimbals. I have a love/hate relationship with them. They can be essential in a lot of shots; a great (and relatively easy) way to get smooth, professional looking footage. But, they can also be a hassle and get in the way of your creativity. They can be large, heavy, take time to set up and [...]

Honestly, I wasn't sure how useful these little slap bracelets- er, I mean LED bands- were going to be. But man, oh man, did I fall in love with them more and more each time I used them. (I did). The thing is, they're just so versatile. They can be fun: long exposure portraits, creative [...]
