Photoshoot and Beyond
The biggest problem with action cameras, pretty much any action camera, is the microphone. Whether it’s the original YI HD, the YI4K or even a GoPro, their sound just tends to suck pretty badly. But, it’s not really a surprise. The main intent of action cameras is for recording fast sports action with a wide field […]

Looks like GoPro have decided to get back on their feet. After re-launching Karma drone, they seem to be preparing HERO6 for launch this year. If you remember, the company had problems with HERO5, so the production was delayed. The analysts predicted that GoPro might move to a 2-year production cycle, but apparently – this […]

3 axis handheld motorised gimbals seem to be the hot new toy at the moment. Electronic image stabilisation in small systems like action cameras and mobile phones sucks. Optical image stabilisation is rare, and still not amazing. So, a motorised gimbal helps to keep things smooth and steady and level. I got one myself about six […]

Being able to see with a camera in complete darkness is a challenge. For stills we often have to resort to long exposures. For video it can be virtually impossible.

The Yi 4K is a pretty great camera already, especially for what it costs. Yi, however, did something pretty unique with the Yi 4K. When they released the new camera, they also announced that it would come with an Open API. While most aren’t able to take advantage of this, what it does do is […]

We were (semi) excited about the GoPro hero5 Black announcement. And while the footage wuality is yet to be seen, we were still left with some questions about how the camera actually feels and operates. Questions like how does the camera mount to a stick (or any other accessory for that matter)? How does it feel […]

We got our hands on a YI 4K and thought we’d put it against the current crown holder: the Gopro Hero 4 Black edition. I was expecting great things from the YI, as it is getting quite popular review, but I was quite blown away with what you can get for $250. I mean, the […]

A little more information is coming out on the two new Nikon KeyMission 80 bodycam, and KeyMission 170 action cam.
