The new iteration of their pocketable drone, the DJI Mini 2, has arrived and after using it for a bit I figured we’d do a real-world test on it. We check to see how long the battery lasts, take a look at footage from the drone, talk about my favorite features, and compare it to the DJI Mavic Mini. Thanks for watching!

I’ve been waiting for this camera for about 4 years. That’s not an exaggeration either. I’m a big fan of Blackmagic and their cameras ever since the original Cinema Camera back in 2012 at NAB and caused quite a stir with its 2.5K resolution, 13 stops of Dynamic Range, ability to record to RAW, Apple ProRes, and had a ton of professional cinema camera ports, etc. for only $3000. And that sort of set the
Razer just launched the new version of their Razer Blade called the Razer Blade 15, and a new version of the Razer Core called the Razer Core X (is it just me or is everyone putting X’s in their device names all of a sudden?). The Razer Blade has been Razer’s top-selling product since its debut in 2015, winning countless awards because of its build quality, portability, and power. Regarded back then as the gaming laptop

I have a lot of camera bags. I was actually on a mission at one point to find the best camera bag for each scenario I found myself in. From the times I need to bring my large Blackmagic cinema camera, all my mics, tripods, multiple laptops and the whole nine yards, to times when I’m traveling overseas and might need to be a lot more nimble. In those scenarios, for example, I might have

Samsung sent me to Cinemacon in Las Vegas recently, a convention where vendors go to show off the latest technology for movie theaters. From new ticketing solutions, to sound systems, 3D tech, and even those crazy moving chairs (really not a fan of those chairs). But the reason Samsung was there was because they’re breaking into the theater business in a big way. The Samsung Onyx Cinema LED Screen This is the Samsung Onyx and

Samsung is really pushing VR. It began with the mission to get VR hardware into the hands of more people that weren’t about to go out and buy a high-end HTC Vive or Oculus Rift. The release of the Gear VR headset in November of 2015, followed by the second gen a year later (and other smaller updates after that), its relatively low price (so long as you had one of Samsung’s compatible devices), and

So maybe you’re a video creator and you are building your new editing rig. You have an awesome external SSD for editing your crispy 4K footage, but you aren’t quite sure what’s the best SSD you should put inside your computer that’ll give you the speed you need without costing a crazy amount of money. B&H was kind enough to let me wander their megastore here in NYC to see if I could find the

Finally! Blackmagic Design released the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K that every Blackmagic user has been asking them for at every NAB Show since the original Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera was released back in 2013. If you’re not familiar with Blackmagic Design, you should be. Who is Blackmagic Design? I started using their Blackmagic Ursa Mini 4.6K (long name, even larger camera) when it came out in March of 2016 and was in love with it.

Two tips and tricks in one week?! Crazy, I know. But with the launch of the new Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus (and the fact that Samsung was kind enough let me use one before its release) there’s just a few videos I want to get out for anyone who might be thinking about getting an S9 or just got one and are curious about some of the newer features. So, for this one,

I reviewed the Razer Blade and its smaller sibling, the Razer Stealth, not too long ago and frankly, I loved them both, albeit in different ways. As someone who edits video in Premiere, the Blade is a compact powerhouse and the Stealth is a super thin ultra-portable that’s made out of premium materials with an attention to detail that only nerdy gaming-obsessed engineers could have put together. If there was one comment I had for

It’s a good time to be a video creator. There are amazing cameras and phones that all shoot 4K and are a lot more affordable than ever before allowing us to produce much higher quality content without the need for a crazy feature film budgets. The issue with this 4K high-quality content, though? It’s huge. Now, most creators end up reaching for an external hard drive to be able to offload their footage from their
