Razer Blade Studio Edition review

DJI Mavic Air 2 Review
The Mavic Air 2 is the drone most people should buy. Okay, review done. Kidding. 2018’s original Mavic Air was the first of its kind, with decent performance in an impossibly small body. I actually kind of loved it. It had great c...

5 reasons why you need a 16-35mm lens
The 16-35mm lens is my favourite lens in my entire kit, no question. Out of the “trinity” of zooms (the 16-35mm, 24-70mm, & 70-200mm), I find it to be the most interesting of the 3 to use, and forcing myself to use it in what others would seem to be “u...

The 85mm lens has become a mainstay in my camera bag. And that’s a hard thing to come by in my kit! As a minimalist, I’m always looking for the max value I can get out of any single thing, and everything I own has to earn its keep. The 85mm lens for me ...
Why I'm back to the Peak Design Everyday Backpack in 2019
Things have come around full circle with the Peak Design Everyday Backpack. I’m a bit of a gear head, but when it comes to bags and carry, I dislike the ‘adventure' of finding the best bag that suits my needs. It’s because I always end up with wardrobes...

DJI Mavic 2 Pro Review
The Mavic 2 Pro is a beast. It’s everything I wanted from a drone since first flying the original Mavic Pro over 2 years ago. It’s fast, it’s incredibly functional, and it produces stunning images. It’s not small enough to get blown around in the wind eas...
