When the Canon XC10 camera was presented at NAB 2015, I immediately became curious about it—joining many others who record their opinions on the great and all-powerful Internet, I couldn’t place my finger on the targeted end-users of this camera. The spec sheet lists 4K UHD recording at a whopping 305 Mbps from a 1" sensor to CFast 2.0 cards, C-LOG and other picture profiles from the EOS C series, a relatively small ergonomic form factor with a rotating side-handle, a few customizable buttons, a tilting LCD with touchscreen controls, a Canon

Camping is supposed to be different from being at home. We choose to do without creature comforts like heated rooms, Wi-Fi, and a stocked fridge because the whole idea is to live, for a time, out in the natural world.
Even so, a few trappings of civilization are necessary for comfort and survival. We need protection from thirst, hunger, and the elements. These things are not hard to accomplish: wear the right clothes, arrange for a tent or similar shelter, and carry (or filter) water, food, and some basic cooking gear.
At the end of the day,

Perhaps the most notable feature is its 7.7", 1280 x 800 8-bit OLED panel that delivers true blacks and a wide color gamut, resulting in more natural-looking images than traditional LCD panels. In fact, the AC7 was one of

In this video, Mia McCormick reviews the latest in the Typhoon series from YUNEEC, the Q500 4K. As the name implies, this drone includes a 12MP/4K, 3D-gimbal stabilized camera.

Seeing laptops and other portable computers everywhere occasionally raises the question, “Is there a future for desktop computing?” While I’m sure many people possessing greater intellect than I have probed that topic to depths that I can’t even imagine, desktop computing is, for the moment, still thriving in the world of professional content creation. For precise and powerful computing, nothing really bests a desktop computer. When considering the precision and power available in desktop computing, quality peripherals to match those qualities

It would be an understatement if I said that I travel often for the work that I do. Whether it’s for a major client and I spend two weeks running around San Francisco, or I’m shooting for fun with friends while out on a hike, I have little patience for gear that is either heavy or useless. GoPros and smartphones often find their way into my kits and, in this review, I’ll be sharing some insight on a series of cases from Lowepro that were made with POV action cameras in mind, as well as a unique jib concept from Joby that’s made to work with

Featuring a 2.26MP full-frame CMOS sensor, the camera captures up to 1080p color footage in extreme low-light environments at a maximum ISO of 4560000. You read that correctly—that’s an ISO of more than 4 million. With that kind of sensitivity, the ME20F

Beginning December 21, 2015, the FAA will require all drones ("SUA" in FAA terminology) weighing between 0.55 and 55 pounds to be registered before operating outdoors. Failure to register can result in stiff penalties, which can include fines of up to $27,000 or, where criminal liability has been found, a fine of up to $250,000 and up to three years in jail. What this new requirement means for the hobbyist or consumer is that all but the smallest nano-scale quadcopters will need to be registered to be flown outdoors. A

Video needs lighting. This is a statement worth repeating: video needs lighting. Yes, you can shoot available light, and now there are cameras with obscenely high ISO ratings, but think about it—if you are shooting at 100,000 ISO, 400,000 ISO, or 4 million ISO, what is the quality of your light? And what exactly are you shooting? If you are shooting at high ISO ratings, most likely you are shooting in extremely low light, and although you may be able to get a decent exposure, it is unlikely there will be much contrast in your shot. This is a
