no-nonsense, in depth, informative
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.
The tiny but mighty Sony ZV-1 has a few drawbacks that almost any user will immediately notice. A plastic build, a tiny grip and a battery/SD card door that doesn't open if you have ANYTHING attached to the 1/4" screw thread on the bottom. While it is just a compact camera, the Smallrig cage can [...]
Ok, I'll admit, I'm a bit of a camera bag addict. I've reviewed a LOT of camera bags on my channel, and of course there are a lot of great options for different budgets, different styles and different gear. But, over the years there are a few bags that have just stuck around as the [...]
I originally reviewed the Portkeys Keygrip in comparison with the RVLVR Clutch, and pointed out that it had a lot of potential, but a handful of frustrating flaws. Well, they updated at least a few of those things, so here's a second look. Check out the video and let me know what you think! https://youtu.be/Vkbme88lvXM [...]
People always seem to complain about Sony menus being terrible. But before using Sony myself, I always wondered why? What was it that made people complain so much- to the point of not using Sony for just that reason? Well, as a new (and proud) Sony user, I thought I'd clarify what it is that [...]
While the title really says it all, the Comica BoomX-D D2 kit is a compact and lightweight dual mic wireless system that is incredibly convenient when packing small, working with a gimbal or whenever you want decent audio with as little hassle as possible. It's not the most high quality product - either in build [...]
In all the video monitor reviews I (or others) have done, I (we)'ve talked about a handful of features that make one great or another one better; waveforms, LUTs, focus peaking, zebras and so on. But what does that all mean? If you're new to monitors or just picked up your first one - or [...]
While it's not for everyone or every type of video, a teleprompter can be a huge time saver for YouTube reviewers or anyone trying to speak to camera while trying to remember everything they wanted to say. They can be expensive though, and large. But the Desview (BestView?) T2 is just over $100, small, lightweight [...]
The Sony A7S III and the Canon R5 have stirred up quite the debate, and are bringing even the hardest of hardcore Canon fanboys to decisions they never expected to make. Yep, even me. But, most of the discussion has centered around the overheating- and I think that's far from the only problem. To put [...]
Portkeys is probably most well known for their BM5 monitor, a high brightness, full featured monitor with camera control options. Well the LH5H takes all that and puts it in a cheaper, HDMI only but light weight body with 1700 nits (vs. 2200 on the BM5). 1700 is plenty for most outdoor use, if you're [...]
The Hollyland prosumer Mars wireless video kit lineup is already pretty full- running from the $179 Mars X (a single HDMI transmitter that works with their mobile app) up to the $649 mars 400S (a solidly built kit with both HDMI and SDI interface plus mobile app compatibility). Well, now the last piece of the [...]
