In my last video I tested several wired Vlogging microphones. The results were surprising. The cheap mics were as good as the expensive ones. However, things turned out very differently when I tested three wireless mic systems for their suitability when Vlogging. I picked the top of the range Rode Wireless Go, a mid-range system called the Moman C1, and…

Leave a CommentIf you’re looking for a rugged, waterproof action camera in 2021 then the three best choices are GoPro Hero 9, DJI Osmo Action and Insta360 Go 2 – and potentially the forthcoming DJI Action 2. Following a viewer request, I explain which of these is the best option overall by comparing them for video quality, audio quality and stabilization –…
Leave a CommentThe Hero 9 Black is the latest model from GoPro and, on paper, it’s the most impressive camera they’ve ever made when it comes to video, audio, stabilization and usability.

Leave a CommentFive years ago, Sony released their FDR-X3000 action camera, with class-leading BOSS stabilization. Many of YouTube’s most popular Vloggers – like Harald Baldr and Bald and Bankrupt (Benjamin Rich) – have used it to rack up billions of views. But, five years later, is it still worth buying this legendary Vlogging camera? To find out, I’m going to compare it…

My dashcam has broken, my car’s wireless phone charger is kaput, and my windows keep steaming up. So I’ve been shopping online to solve these problems. I’ve bought a dual camera dashcam, a phone stand wireless QI charger, a car dehumidifier and a…
Leave a CommentAmazon and ebay have been flooded with cheap Vlogging cameras for less than £100 and they all have amazing specs and decent reviews. However, most of them are pure trash. It is possible to buy a reasonably good Vlogging camera for under £100. But the options are very, very limited. Check out this review to find out more. I compared…

Leave a CommentI’ve been away a couple of months due to work, but I’m back with something quite special – an exquisite piece of precision engineering. I wanted to get a Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Skyhawk A-T, with my preference being the RAF Red Arrows Edition. I couldn’t find the exact one I wanted within my price range. Luckily the American version –…
