REVIEW – A monitor calibration tool is something I’ve wanted for years, but I’ve never dropped the money on one yet. I’ve had great monitors and terrible monitors, and a spectrum of photo printers across the years as well. It’s always been a crapshoot in terms of what gets printed out versus what I edited …
REVIEW – With the amazing advances in camera technology made in the last decade it’s now possible for aspiring videographers to create professional-level videos with little more than a smartphone and maybe a microphone and light or two.

REVIEW – I have been a photographer and videographer for many years, and over time I have accumulated more gear that I have storage space for. One piece of gear that is really important is a great tripod and for those of us who do a lot of mobile on-the-go shooting, a monopod becomes a …

REVIEW – When someone mentions Manfrotto, what comes to mind are photo and video camera tripods and monopods. To me, Manfrotto was synonymous with them.

REVIEW – If you are a regular Gadgeteer reader, it’s no secret I love Nixplay’s photo frames. I previously reviewed a different Nixplay 10.1-inch picture frame (here) and 9.7-inch metal photo frame here, both of which are performing admirably, happily displaying over 1000 photos each. Now I’m excited to review Nixplay’s new W10K photo frame! …
REVIEW – If you enjoy capturing video with your phone, then you should consider buying a gimbal. Gimbals help keep the footage stable when you’re walking around while filming. Some phones like the iPhone and Samsung Galaxy phones already have stabilization built-in, so maybe you think that a gimbal isn’t a necessary accessory for your …

REVIEW – I’m convinced that every struggling actor who isn’t waiting tables in Los Angeles is a headshot photographer, and yet, like a five-year-old, trying to pull it together for a real headshot is way too much work for me. At the same time, I also feel like you are your own best PR person, …

REVIEW – The Lensball is a crystal sphere that I reviewed several years ago. No, it’s not a tool to read people’s fortunes, it’s an accessory for your camera – you shoot photos through the ball. Yes, it’s as cool as it sounds and you need to go check out my Lensball review to learn …
REVIEW – Part of being a writer for the Gadgeteer is also being a photographer. We have to take all our own pictures of the products that we review. I don’t know about the other writers, but I am not a professional photographer, so I’m always looking for ways to improve the quality of the …
