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. Now they've come out with a new audio system: the Lark 150; a 2 channel compact wireless mic kit. The Rode Wireless Go has become extremely popular due to how compact and easy it is to use, [...]
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 [...]

The Aputure 120D Mark I was already wildly popular, but I don’t think anyone was ready for the amount of upgrades the mark II version got. Check them out here along with some sample clips to show off the special effects and an in-depth BTS look at how those scenes were shot. Also, don’t forget [...]
Ok, maybe that’s a bit on the click bait side, but the Azden SGM-250CX really is an amazing choice as a non-obtrusive on camera shotgun mic for cinema cameras like the Canon C200 and has a sound quality to match. Check it out in more detail with sound samples and comparisons to the Sennheiser MKE600. [...]
