I’ve done a couple tech reviews looking at three-axis gimbals in the last month. While they always provided silky-smooth video footage, that came at a cost. They’re heavy and make your arms ache if you use them for longer than a few minutes at a time. However, there is an alternative… maybe. And it’s called “Rocksteady” by DJI. It’s the…
Leave a CommentI’ve travelled to almost fifty different countries (click here to see where I’ve been). I used to take lots of photos and blog about my experiences. What I should have been doing is making videos! Now that we’re slowly easing out of the pandemic lockdown, I’ve decided to start making travel Vlogs. However, to do that properly, you will need…
Leave a CommentI’ve never owned a REAL camera before. My smartphone and action cameras take good photos and videos. So why would I need one? But… then I saw a crazy bargain online — Canon M6 + lens for £300 ($400). I couldn’t resist, and now I own a Mirrorless Camera. How does it compare to the photos and videos coming out…
Leave a CommentEid Mubarak!! On this day, when a billion Muslims celebrate by violently slaughtering tens of millions of animals, I wanted to tell you about my “journey” as a Muslim vegan. And why, despite being vegan myself, I really can’t stand a lot of other vegans. In particular, “Ethical Vegan” activists, who have turned their lifestyle choice into a religion –…
Leave a CommentIt’s been a few years since I purchased a proper tripod, and my new “studio” is a much smaller space than I’m used to working in. I desperately needed the versatility of a mini (tabletop) tripod, but every product available seemed too flimsy and unstable for heavy cameras. Luckily, I came across the OCTOPAD by Octopus Camera. It’s a rugged,…
Leave a CommentI’ve never dyed my hair before – I’ve just never been brave enough. And, to tell you the truth, I’m still not brave enough. But a fellow comedian offered to do it for me, and luckily she’s a trained professional so I knew I was in good hands. Unfortunately, ever since childhood, I’ve been absolutely terrified of hairdressers and barbers.…
Leave a CommentI wanted to get a splash-proof 3-axis gimbal stabilizer for my heavy smartphones, so I could use it in the rain. I bought a FeiyuTech SPG2, which seemed to be perfect for my needs. It also promised to provide better stability than my GoPro. I chose it over the FeiyuTech G6 Plus, which seemed a bit too big and expensive.…
Leave a CommentMy last video was much more popular than expected, but there were some very valid complaints about the shaky video. So I decided to finally bite the bullet and buy my first ever 3-axis gimbal. Gimbals are basically selfie-sticks with some motors on the end that make sure your camera and/or smartphone will only move smoothly by correcting for shakes…
Leave a CommentI’ve been pretty silent on the whole issue of #BlackLivesMatter for a while, because I was trying to put my thoughts together in a way that accurately expressed how I feel about what’s happening across the world and the racially charged arguments being had all over social media at the moment. I decided I might as well put it in…
Leave a CommentOne of the things I wanted to do on my channel was make useful educational videos, where I explain complicated or usually misunderstood topics in simple terms that anyone can understand. My first such educational video goes live today, and it’s about something that has hit the news recently: President Trump’s escalating bad blood with Twitter and his legal threats…
