Yi Technology are releasing a handheld gimbal for action cameras

John Aldred

I’ve become a fan of Yi Technology’s action cameras since I started using them a couple of months ago. For what they offer, they’re an absolute bargain, and they work very well. A video posted to YouTube today suggests that they’re expanding their range to include stabilisation. Having recently picked up a gimbal for use with […]

How to pack and use photography gear to survive a burning man festival

Dan Lior

Midburn is a regional Burning man event held over for a period of 5 days in the Israeli desert. After buying my tickets to the most recent MidBurn this […]

The New the Old and the Vintage – Nikon’s ‘Worst’ & ‘Best’ Zoom Lens Comparison

Jake Hicks

I’m going to preface this by saying that this isn’t a lens review article, there are many photographers better suited for this topic, so if you’re after refraction index comparisons and chromatic aberration charts this article probably isn’t for you. This article is however my personal thoughts on three Nikon zoom lenses and their resulting […]

DJI’s new Osmo+ brings 7x zoom to handheld gimbal cameras

John Aldred

DJI have updated their Osmo handheld gimbal camera to provide up to 7x zoom capabilities. Like the recently announced Zenmuse Z3 zoom camera for the Inspire 1, it’s actually a 3.5x optical zoom. On top of this is a 2x “digital lossless zoom”. Technically the “digital zoom” is really a crop mode, and is only […]

After months of speculation the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is finally here

John Aldred

So, the guesswork and speculation can end. Canon have now officially announced the 5D Mark IV DSLR. As expected, some photographers are a little underwhelmed, if the comments I’m seeing on Facebook are anything to go by. The video guys seem happy, though, mostly. But it does have a few fairly significant upgrades for stills photographers. The new […]

Edelkrone’s new Wing gives slider-like motion without rails and fits in your pocket

John Aldred

If there’s one thing we can expect when Edelkrone announce a new product, it’s that it’ll be different. One only needs to look at their PocketSkater2 or StandPlus to realise that. When they first showed off the Wing back in 2014, it was simply a concept device. Now, it’s here for real. The final version presented […]
