I think we have started to enter the golden age for traveling creators. Photographers and videographers alike now have so many options for cameras, lenses, bags and other tech that we can get just about anything we would need from many options across multiple vendors all for a relatively affordable price. Just...

 

 

Keeping the many different G-Technology portable drives straight just based on their names can be a real challenge. In the past couple years we've evaluated the G-Drive Mobile SSD and the G-Drive Slim SSD USB-C, and those are separate from the G-Drive Pro SSD and the G-Drive Thunderbolt 3 which are larger, desktop...

 

 

Introduction

French company DxO has long been known for their superb and highly advanced photo software, specifically their OpticsPro lens corrections and Prime noise reduction technology. The company has always been at the cutting-edge of getting the most from your photographic equipment, and last year set out...

 

 

Peak Design is one of the most successful, fastest-growing brands in the photographic industry. The entire industry, not just bags. They have a massive fan base and even big names like Sony and DJI are working with them to create either co-branded products or custom embroidered swag. They have a massive following...

 

 

I love equipment that seems to relish in its own superiority: great optics, the best cameras, spectacular audio equipment. I'd be lying if I didn't just love the crème de la crème of camera gear even though I preach that you don't need it. And that's true; you generally don't. But when you can have some truly...

 

 

A couple years ago, I bought my first drone: the DJI Phantom 4. I had used a couple DJI products before this but held out until I thought drone technology had gotten to a point where it was going to flatten out for a while and it would be worth investing in one. But just a couple years later and boy was I ever...

 

 

I abhor beginner guides. It's not because I don't appreciate them or understand their usefulness, but mostly because I find that in dumbing down something complex, a lot of the nuance that makes for proper understanding is lost. Does that matter for a beginner? Well... no, but I am becoming a curmudgeon in my old...

UPDATE, 10/16/2018: In the market for an ultra-fast, rugged SSD drive? This SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD is on sale today at Amazon in all capacities, including the 1TB size for just $199!  Sale Over

 

 

Small, portable and high capacity storage drives are more and more becoming the norm. There was a time that...

 

 

Though it's not going to win any beauty pageants, after a few months of using the HP ZBook x2 I have to say... it's one of the better PCs I have come across if you're specifically looking to edit photos or if you are a graphic designer. I use the word specifically very consciously though, because as I hope to show,...

 

 

Recently we reviewed the latest G-Drive with Thunderbolt 3 from G-Technology, and found it to be a pretty solid drive aside from its relatively average read/write speeds. It seems G-Tech wanted to prove they could go faster with the release of the G-Drive Pro SSD, and boy did they ever. Rated to hit 2800 MB/s, this...

 

 

If you've ever taken your camera, or drone, out into the wilderness for more than an afternoon, you might know the unease that comes with being away from a backup solution. This is especially the case with drone work, as you always want to be backing up your cards, or at the very least switching them out, every...

 

 

I’ve personally been following Adobe for years as both a big fan and a harsh critic of their products, dating back to the first time I ever opened an Adobe application in 2002. That outspoken dichotomy is a result of a fact about me: if I love your products, I expect the creators to love and respect them in kind. I...

 

 

If you take a step back and really look at what Google has done with their laptops, it starts to seem bizarre when you really consider it: This is an entire computing experience powered by a browser. To think that Google has managed to build an entire ecosystem around this one piece of software by steadily shoring...

 

 

In early March, Nikon Rumors reported that fledgling memory company ProGrade Digital would not be making XQD cards, instead betting on the new format CFexpress. This rumor was later confirmed by DP Review. For those who are not close to the memory industry, this was somewhat of a shock, as XQD is a format popular...

 

 

As a video editor, I'm regularly looking for a good portable hard drive that can serve a couple different purposes. Some I'm looking to box up and mail across the country to different marketing firms or editing companies, others I'm looking to carry with me when I have to leave the office but still need immediate...

 

 

Photographer and director Ryan Berg has quickly made a name for himself by creating unique photographic work, including various infrared photo series. Based in Los Angeles, Berg is also the Editor in Chief of Mâché, a digital publication which features artists from around the world. He focuses primarily on fashion...

 

 

In the past weeks, Light announced a program called "The Depth Collective." The goal is to offer financial help to photojournalists around the world who wish to use the Light L16 in their storytelling. Light goes on to talk about the importance of keeping a low profile, being there to capture moments that matter,...

 

 

It’s getting kind of expected for Sony to announce totally amazing technology, so when they just announce something that’s really good but not extraordinary, it almost seems boring. At first glance, the Sony A7 Mark III might not seem all that exciting, but when compared against its closest competitors, you start...

 

 

In the fall of 2016, I found myself in a warmly lit, large and bright conference room accentuated by a beautiful sunny day streaming in from wide windows in the Silicon Valley office of Micron. Micron, the at-the-time parent company of memory card goliath Lexar, was celebrating the memory card company’s 20 year...
