Joby Wavo Air review!
Wireless pro-sumer audio is getting REALLY good. Joby has a fun reputation for making flexible photo and video accessories. The new line of Joby microphones is NO exception! I spent a little time playing with some new wireless mics, and I definitely have some thoughts!

INNOCN 27″ Art monitor review! It’s probably time I upgrade my display while I edit more and more video. Innocn sent over this beauty for me to test drive. It’s sharp. It’s bright. It’s beautiful!
Does this panel have what it takes to compete against other professional displays? I HAVE NO IDEA! Let’s check it out!

Poco F3 Review!
Some long term thoughts on using a banger mid-ranger phone. While it was a beast in 2021, can it still compete a year later?
Let’s take a look at price and performance! Continue reading “Poco F3 in 2022: Still Worth It?”
Galaxy Z Fold3 Review? It’s not for me.
Here’s the tricky bit.
Folding tablets (that turn into awkward phones) are still REALLY new. There is no one “winning” form factor yet. Just because we’re on year three of this idea, doesn’t mean we still aren’t publicly beta testing this idea.
Time to share some thoughts on what I prefer in a mobile tablet, and why I’m looking forward to getting my Duo 2 back… Continue reading “Galaxy Z Fold3 in 2022: Happily Sending it Back…”
Kyocera DuraSport review!
What if you want a TOUGH phone on Verizon? Kyocera is the top game in town. Are we sacrificing too many lifestyle features for that rugged build though?

Mobvoi Earbuds Review!
I’m a big fan of the TicWatch, and I still use the Mobvoi treadmill. This is my first listen on some Mobvoi Earbuds! Arriving at an incredible price for ANC, but also including some fun tech features.
Here are my thoughts on the Earbuds ANC! Continue reading “Mobvoi Earbuds ANC are $60! Best Budget Buds?”
It’s one of the most exciting aspects of mobile production. The pro-sumer audio market is rapidly improving, the tech is getting better, and prices are falling. As we get better microphones though, we also want to see better growth for accessories. It seems silly to mention, but it matters if we have good options for cases and chargers. A good wireless mic system all on its own might be more challenging to use if we don’t have gear to support those products.
The RODE Wireless Go II are making enough of an impact however, it’s encouraging to see solutions like this third part charge case from ZGCine.
RODE’s solution is excellent, and these little mics have largely taken over most of my YouTube and podcast production. The included pouch in the box though doesn’t deliver much peace of mind for protecting these mics. This is doubly troublesome if you use RODE’s magnetic mounts. The magnets snap together aggressively enough they can crack the magnets.
Soon after the Go II launch, I invested in a hard case to better store the mics and keep them from snapping together. It also gave me a slightly larger sleeve for cables and accessories.
The RODE mics and receiver have solid battery life, and it’s not difficult running for hours when out in the field. One reason why professional gear uses swappable batteries though, if you do start to run low, you can quickly pop out some AA’s and get back into shooting fast. If you run the battery low on a rechargeable transmitter, it’s a little harder to charge it back up WHILE you’re shooting.
The Go II are really fun for field work, but you do have that little gremlin in the back of your head when it comes to power. If I need to charge them up in the field, I’ve got to charge three discrete gadgets, and most of my portable batteries only have two USB ports.
Enter ZGCINE… Continue reading “Support Your RODE Wireless Go II in the Field: ZGCINE ZG-R30 Charge Case”
The new OnePlus 10 is out, BUT NOT HERE! I have to make my OnePlus 9 Pro last a little longer.
If you’re wanting to clean up an old phone, or better protect a new phone, there’s no better way to guard your screen!
It’s a BIT of science project though…
