REVIEW – Shooting cinematic video on phones has taken off in the last decade.

REVIEW – Who needs a light box? Product reviewers, marketers, crafters, online sellers, bakers, or anyone who wants to create professional looking photographs of items that’ll fit inside one of them.

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 – 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.
