Review: Miller Air Solo 75 2 Stage Alloy Tripod

Also clever is a Follow and Shoot mode. If you have the smartphone and gimbal on the tripod, by raising you palm it causes the gimbal to track your face, including panning and tilting as needed. Very useful for doing one person pieces to camera when you don’t want to be static but instead move around. […]

Review: Logickey Keyboard for DaVinci Resolve
The party trick of the Logickey line is the colour coded keys showing groups of commands for the editing package. I have always found using short cut keys far more effective than the mouse for fast editing, and these keyboards are simply brilliant for that purpose. […]
