CFexpress cards used to only be available from just a small list of manufacturers but over the last few years, that has changed and now there is a wide variety of very good options. One example is ProMaster's new 1.3TB Velocity CINE card which is a great blend of speed, capacity, and price.
The $99 U-Mic Wireless Microphone (A018GBB1) by Ulanzi is an extremely affordable, compact, and dynamic, wireless audio system designed to give users the best quality microphone system for under $100.
The LT028 by Ulanzi Group is a 40 Watt portable COB LED Video Light that was designed to be a lightweight and versatile lighting solution for content creators, photographers, videographers, and even streamers who need an affordable lighting solution that can be repositioned with incredible ease.
ProMaster has launched the Chronicle, a multifunctional, adaptive tripod that is designed to improve the image capture process from top to bottom for a wide range of creators. That's a significant promise, but ProMaster says it can deliver.
ProMaster's new Chronicle Tripod aims to do it all. While it may look like a typical tripod at first glance, there is much more to the Chronicle than meets the eye. In seconds, it quickly converts to a tabletop tripod via its "Flexor center column", handheld stabilizer, or monopod. Plus, the ball head converts from an Arca-type quick-release camera mount to a phone clamp.
Just a few weeks ago, Westcott released an interesting new system of silicone gels meant to make the lives of photographers easier via a set of tear-resistant and heat-resistant gels that could be quickly changed out for other colors in a matter of seconds.
I just don't get excited about tripods anymore. Sure, there are some clever designs every now and again, but they all basically play on the same ideas. But with the X-Aircross F38, I was giggling with joy because this tripod is just so darn cool.
The FALCAM F50 by Ulanzi Group is a quick-release system has an incredibly straightforward value proposition. If you've got cameras that use multiple types of stabilization (gimbals, tripods, rigs, etc.), the FALCAM F50 is going to make swapping between them a breeze.
The battery is the least thought-about accessory a photographer or videographer depends upon to get a job done. These small hunks of chemicals allow electricity to flow through our gear, allowing our creativity to flow.
If there’s one thing that is consistent across the photography world, it is the never-ending list of gear and accessories we end up spending our money on. Between the cameras, lenses, lights, and grip, the numbers add up fast, but what’s most important (besides getting the shot in focus) is making sure the colors look exactly the way we want them to. This is where the new Datacolor Spyder Checkr Photo comes in clutch.
Manfrotto recently expanded its PRO Light Tough cases and while at their core these hard cases are pretty similar to other offerings, Manfrotto does offer some modular accessories that make them stand apart.
Manfrotto's Move system felt like a good idea when I first saw it in October: one small puck would play host to a quick-release system that makes it easy to swap tripod heads, legs, and more. After testing, it's even better than I expected and I can't believe it took someone this long to make a product that has been an absolute boon for on-set workflow.
As displays have become better and cheaper to manufacture over the past several years, high-quality pen displays have slowly been edging out pen tablets as the best way to edit your photos. One of the companies making a major push in this space is Huion, and over the past couple of months we've had the chance to go hands-on with the company's brand new, color-accurate Kamvas Pro 16 (2.5K) -- one of the most compelling options for any photographer looking for a high-quality pen display at a reasonable price.
Astrophotography is a discipline rife with compromises. It’s a battle of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO with no one combination being completely ideal. That’s where Topaz Labs in the edit comes to the rescue.
The most fun I have with photography is capturing something I’ve never seen before. Of course, that sets up a lot of pressure to come away with tack-sharp perfect photos. Topaz Labs is how I ensure my success.
Charging is boring and is easily the part of technology, and certainly photography, that I think the least about. But after using the Bronine Volkit, I honestly can say that has changed.
Many things that used to be true about photo editing are no longer the case, such as not being able to fix a subject that was accidentally out of focus or not being able to recover much detail when doing heavy noise reduction. Topaz Labs is a big reason as to why we can approach post-processing differently now.
Just about a year ago Westcott expanded on its new wireless flash lineup that started with the FJ400 by offering new sizes and power outputs. After listening to user feedback, it launched the FJ200 as a more compact and travel-friendly light system... and it's awesome.
G-Technology has been a mainstay brand for photographers for years, but was recently rebranded under SanDisk Professional. While the products now have a new name, has anything else changed?
As a showcase of its CE-SAT-1 Earth-imaging satellite, Canon is allowing anyone to take their own photos of Earth from space as part of a demonstration for CES.
Apple just joined Instagram. An unlike most other brand accounts, the new @apple handle won't ever feature ads or announcements for products and services. Instead, it will be used for one, single purpose: to feature the world's best #ShotoniPhone photos.
