The holiday season is upon us and snow is already falling in the mountains... at least the Sierras. If you're a GoPro owner, or seeking gifts for one, now is a great time to think about winterizing your camera. Scrolling through the hundreds of GoPro and third-party HERO action-camera mounts and accessories inspired me to put together an article covering some of the less obvious—but equally useful—options that are out there that will makes sense

Recent years have seen the camera accessories market expand rapidly. Rod systems that were once obscure are now commonplace, and tools that enhance a camera’s functionality are more readily available than ever. Perhaps this has to do with the burgeoning interchangeable-lens camera market, but standard accessories existed long before that. Camera-system building goes back pretty far in cinema history, and today, the purpose of rigging up a camera with accessories remains the same, for the most part. Cinema-grade 35mm film cameras were often

We’ve come a long way from a few years ago when nobody outside the RC model aircraft world knew what the heck a quadcopter was. Today, I think it’s fair to say most of us have some concept of a quadcopter, or drone, or UAV, or preferred nomenclature. Thanks to innovations in compact embedded computers, motion sensors, and other technologies, RC flying is no longer a niche hobby, but is available to the masses. Drones come in all shapes and sizes, of course

Although the idea of a wearable POV camera dates back several decades, the first action camera to be offered on the consumer market was a GoPro.
The Story Behind GoPro
A young man was off on a surfing trip somewhere far off, and wanted to capture quality photos of all the action, but found there was no way to get close-up angles. This same young man also very badly wanted to invent something. That was in 2002, and that same year, Nicholas “Nick” Woodman founded GoPro. Two years of work later, the first GoPro was introduced, the

No matter what time of year, there always seems to be a party, occasion, get-together, or something that calls for some kind of gift. Last-minute panic gift-getting often leads to questionable choices that may cause you to be excluded from the next party or two—hey, the drug store was closing and all they had left was a combination manicure/toe-nail fungus kit and I didn’t want to show up empty handed. So, don’t let this happen to you. Read on for a guide to some of the best video-related gifts for less than $100, suitable for most any

The on-camera light is to the video shooter what the speed light is to the still photographer. Many would consider it an essential piece of kit. “On-camera” is a term that defines a category, but these light may not always (or ever) be mounted on your camera. It refers to a compact, battery-powered light that can be mounted on-camera if you so choose. Some even work on drones. There are hundreds out there so what I would like to do is consider

Whenever I think of professional video cameras, my mind is drawn to those ubiquitous shoulder-mounted beasts on news sets, and hundred-pound 35mm film camera setups in movie studios. Romanticizing the idea of the iconic professional camera is easy to do. Generally speaking, the content that most people consume is created with gear that fits into that stereotype. In most cases, the cost, storage space, and maintenance required by that equipment is more than a single person can bear. Hence, those cameras are, more often than not, the property of

We can safely say the “drone for the non-hobbyist” space really matured in 2016. By this, I mean drones that appeal to users other than just model builders, spanning the gamut from aerial imaging at the pro and prosumer level, as well as fun drones that some people use for practice, and others just to carry around to use for snapping aerial selfies.
This year, we’ve seen new additions from established companies, such as DJI, with the obstacle-avoiding

Piloting an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV or simply, drone) is fun, but what about stepping into a virtual cockpit? Drones and other remote-controlled flying machines have always offered an exciting flying experience, but with First Person View (FPV), you can get to be at the heart of the action. A combination of a tiny camera, radio transmission, and a viewing monitor or headset can make for a realistic viewing experience that can completely, and literally, change your perspective on UAVs.
What makes up an FPV system?
