This Egg Drone is a breeze of cool air in the world of Karmas and Mavics

Udi Tirosh

Both DJI and GoPro announced their Mavic and Karma drones. While there are some notable differences they are both following a familiar form factor. If you are looking for something completely different, you may wanna take a look at the PowerEgg from PowerVision. I think it is kind of easy to realizes how the drone got its […]

Flash tubes shot with pinhole look like a space station from the industrial era

Udi Tirosh

Ever wondered how your flash tube looks like when it actually fires? It looks like a space station. And not those hi-tech preppy stations too. It looks like what our great, great grandparents would have build for a space station. Photographer Hal Harrison took this to the test. Shooting a strobe tube is actually not an easy […]

First look at Case Air App and hands on with Case Air

Udi Tirosh

Looking at the Tether Tools Case Air was an interesting experience. It promises the same Camranger experience at half the cost, and a significantly lighter package.  (we covered its kickoff here) I have used the Camranger before on tradeshows and it was very smooth. The Case Air appears to be no different. It provides several nice […]

A real softbox for LED lights (and how to extend an Osmo)

Udi Tirosh

If you are using LED panels, there is a good chance you are using them bare, or with a diffusion panel.  If you need a bigger light source that the size of your panels, there are no pre-made solutions. If you are using a spot LED (like the 120T from aputure), you can use “regular” softboxes, […]

First preview of RODE’s Newshooter’s kit (and other iMicrophones)

Udi Tirosh

One of the things we were excited about in photokina was the RODE booth. Partly becasue we are big RODE fans (TBH, they payed part of our trip to the show), but mostly becasue they showed us some microphones that will incredibly ease our workflow for future shows and interviews. The first piece of kit […]

Indestructible LED panels, Sub $500 vectorscope monitor and wireless variable ND filter

Udi Tirosh

During photokina we payed a visit to the Aperture booth, had a chat with Ted Sim, and we totally fell in love with their new products. Actually, we have been using Aputure’s LEDs for quite a while now, so we were not surprised. What we were surprised with is the price points for the various […]

DJI Mavic vs. GoPro Karma

Udi Tirosh

It takes a lot of balls to be in the biggest photography show in the world, have a drone ready and be silent about it. This is exactly what DJI did, and it got me wondering. GoPro announced Karma – the company’s first venture into Drones (or anything non action cam for that matter), which […]

Is connectivity more important than image quality?

Udi Tirosh

In this photokina we’ve seen most camera makers making it bigger and better. But not necessarily faster. The new Fuji GFX medium format may be the prime example of that. Both camera makers and lens makers are putting full focus on developing features that relate to photos hard qualities: dynamic range, more megapixels, low light […]
