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!

Samsung recently released the new Galaxy Note9 and, as is the usual here on the channel, I figured I’d do one of my camera comparisons with it. In this video, we’ll compare the Galaxy Note9 against the iPhone X, the Pixel 2 XL, and the OnePlus 6 to see which has the best camera.

You’ve no doubt seen tons of photos from your favorite YouTubers and tech writers across social media from the Huawei P20 Pro at this point. And I bet a lot of those photos were night time shots. And I also bet, they looked pretty darn good. It’s no secret at this point that for low-light photography on a mobile phone a lot of people are turning to this relatively lesser known manufacturer here in the

Another camera comparison for you guys. Today, I wanted to see how iPhone cameras have improved over the last few years. To do that, I took an iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7 Plus, and an iPhone 6S Plus and went out and took the same photos on each and then lined them up so we could compare them and see how much things have changed. Unlike the speed test I recently did on

Finally got my hands on the new Sony A7III, the “basic” new full-frame camera from Sony that is anything but. Since you guys seem to be liking the complete walkthrough series for phones, laptops, etc. I’ve been doing, I figured let’s do one on this camera that I’m excited about and you guys can let me know what you think. If you aren’t familiar with my complete walkthroughs, they’re a series of videos where I

The Huawei P20 Pro was released recently and with it one of the first three camera smartphones (and the first using Leica as a partner, for sure). In addition to the 3x telephoto, the RGB, and monochrome cameras it’s sporting, it also has a much larger sensor than any other flagship device on sale right now. So, this begs the question, can that help the P20 Pro compete with the other best camera phones you

Continuing with the camera tests, here we have the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus compared to its own brethren: the Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8 Plus, Galaxy Note8. I was curious if the S9 Plus has that much better of a camera to justify an upgrade, or if you should keep your S8 Plus, etc. To do this test, I took the same photo on each of the devices and then lined them up and zoomed in

Time for yet another Galaxy S9 experiment of sorts. In this video, let’s see how the Galaxy S9 Plus’ camera stacks up against the reigning champs of the iPhone X, Pixel 2 XL, and Note8. For this, I wandered all over NYC and managed to get the same shots on all four devices so we could line them all up and see how well they each did. Without further ado, here’s the camera comparison. Here

Is it just me or does it feel like Apple is constantly trying to get us to buy more iCloud storage? And it would make sense really. Think about the number of iPhones, iPads, and Macs out in the wild and how much money it would mean if just a small percentage of them even had to fork over $0.99/month for the lowest amount of extra iCloud storage. One of the new features in iOS

It’s been a hell of a year for phones in 2017 and so I’m doing a series of scientific-ish experiments to try and figure out which were the best phones of 2017. I’ve already done the fastest phone and the one with the best battery life, but today we’re going to see which one does the best portrait mode photos. Now, portrait mode is the idea of taking a photo on your phone and through

I’ve never really been a fan of live photos on iOS. Frankly, I just really don’t have a use for a few second video before and after a photo, especially when you couldn’t edit this tiny clip. But, there was a small change in iOS 11 that made their usefulness change a bit. Apple decided to let you edit them and even easily turn live photos into gifs. With that, they’ve become a slightly better

With iOS 11 and the new iPhone 8 Plus and X, Apple added a new feature to the cameras that I think people will definitely like an probably overuse on Instagram, social in general, etc. Regardless it is a cool feature and it’s called Portrait Lighting. Just like Portrait mode that we’re used to by now that uses the dual cameras on the phone to judge depth and create that bokeh depth of field look

One of the big features being shown off by LG for the recently launched V30, is the Cine Video feature. This feature allows you to add professionally created LUTs to your videos as you shoot them to get some creative looking shots. LUTs, or Look Up Tables are sets of adjustments that are used by professional cinematographers to add specific looks to shots that are shot in RAW or Log format. This allows them to

If you were thinking about Spring cleaning your Instagram and getting your feed looking more cohesive (or maybe there’s some questionable photos you don’t want to delete but maybe shouldn’t have let be public) Instagram just launched a new feature to make that a lot easier to do called Archive. Now, most people probably don’t need to do this type of clean up, but I know a lot of marketers/social media managers that actually like
