Perfect Travel Tripod that doesn't cost the earth - K&F Concept S210
I’ve had several K&F Concept tripods in the past. They have all the features I want and need, they’re reliable, and they’re always affordable. What’s not to love!
Their latest offering, the K&F Concept S210 (check it out on Amazon here) continues this trend. This little tripod packs a ton of features that rival tripods that are much more expensive. So let’s get into it.
Olympus 60mm f2.8 Macro review — photo examples
Fun fact: the Olympus 60mm f2.8 macro lens is the lens that convinced me to switch to micro four thirds. I tried it in a shop on an Olympus Pen F.

Olympus Pen F Review. Still a contender?
The Olympus Pen F is a super (and I mean super) stylish camera that was aimed squarely towards high-end consumers when it first came out. As the price slowly slips over the years, it’s getting a bit of a cult following, so I thought I’d review the Pen F in 2019. Is it still worth considering?

DJI Osmo Pocket Review — Hyperlapses, Vertical Options, Flaws
The DJI Osmo Pocket it a teeny tiny, affordable, stabilised camera. It is small, but is it mighty? I’ve had my Osmo Pocket for a few weeks now, and I’m ready to share my thoughts.
I bought the Osmo Pocket primarily to see if I could make hyperlapses and motion timelapses more quickly and easily. I’ve made some cracking timelapses in the past, but let’s be honest, using and balancing a huge gimbal takes a lot of time and it’s a lot to carry about with you.

Here are my thoughts, and loads of photo examples for you to take a look at.
Lumix G7 Review — Still a contender in?
The Lumix G7 in many ways was a revelation when it was first released. It was one of the most affordable ways to get 4k, and it all came in a brilliantly thought-out small camera body too.
But it was released in (hold onto your hats!) 2015, which seems like an age in Photography Land.
So is it still worth a consideration in 2015? Well, I still have one. I still use my G7 — both professionally and personally — and I blummin’ love it. But of course, like any camera, it is far from perfect. So let’s dive in!

Photolemur 3 Review Tons of photo examples
Photolemur… isn’t for everyone. Let me say that right up front.
I have no doubt that this software will polarise people. Some people will think it’s the best thing ever — exactly what they need — and some people will think it’s a little basic for their needs.
So what IS Photolemur?
Lumix GX80 / GX85 Review - Best First Camera?
I bought the Panasonic Lumix GX80 (or GX85 if you’re in America) as a travel camera and a back-up body to my GH5. It was super affordable, and my expectations weren’t that high… but this little camera has completely blown me away. Here is everything it has to offer.

Micro Four Thirds isn’t for everyone. Have a read to see if it’s for you. There are many pros and cons to the m43 system, and for me, the benefits far outweigh the negatives (and there are negatives!) but it all depends on you, and what you want to achieve. So let’s get stuck in.
Falcon Eyes Bi-Color RX-18TD // Real World Review
The FalconEyes RX-18TD might be a pain in the butt to say, but it sure is an impressive light.

Adapting Pentax 110 lenses to Micro Four Thirds
Pentax 110 lenses can very easily be adapted to micro four thirds cameras. The 110 “sensor” size is m43 sized so you don’t even need a fancy or expensive adapter to do it.
Are these lenses ridiculously small? Yes.
Are they capable? I think so.
And either way, it’s a ton of fun. Let’s check out the results!
Zhiyun Weebill Lab VS Zhiyun Crane Plus
If you’ve been around here a while, you’ll know it’s no secret how much I love my Zhiyun Crane Plus.
I’ve had a whole host of gimbals in the past, from the Crane 2 to the tiny Crane M, and for my setup the Crane Plus is absolutely my “Goldilocks Gimbal”.
So the Zhiyun Weebill Lab has some big boots to fill.
How does it compare?
