Excellent Fujifilm X-T3 walkthrough video tutorial
Since I’m fairly new to the Fujifilm camera world, I like many of us with a thirst for a tutorial turn to YouTube and I struck gold with this one from Michael Andrew aka “Michael The Maven”. Nice work! He covers pretty much the whole camera but doesn’t go deep and I’m fine with that. It’s a great push start. Below is […]

I need a small fluid head for mirrorless cameras with cage and accessories. I have the $145 Manfrotto MVH500AH and it’s really not good enough for more than the a7rii and a lens. No counterbalance settings or drag control just pan and tilt locking knobs. I decided to give another Benro a try since I have […]

New Sony a6500 Adds Touch Screen/Pad & IBIS, But Will it Overheat?

The a6500 has a 5-Axis SteadyShot INSIDE Stabilization system and a new enhanced front-end LSI processor that works together with the BIONZ […]
