Amazon Affiliates B&H Affiliate Program Adorama AffiliateI bought a Kessler Cineshooter - my thoughts vs the Rhino Arc 2Tommy Callaway2022-12-05 | I was tired of using the Rhino Arc 2, so I picked up the Kessler Cineshooter and it seems to be overall easier and more enjoyable to use, as well as allows for more complex movements. NOTE: My only issue with the Kessler Cineshooter is already solved - if you double tap the shift button on the cineshooter, you can control the remaining axis with the onboard controls, and continue to use the smart handle for everything else, so you don't need to use any other devices. It's actually quite convenient and my primary issue is already solved, only issue was my lack of knowledge. Thank you Kessler! Awesome job.

I am very particular about what lights I've chosen to invest in. Output quality is obviously one of the most important metrics, but there are a gamut of other features that inform my decisions like build quality, total output, ease of use, weight, power options, special features, portability, beam angle, modifiers, and more. That said, I've chosen to invest in Rotolight in the past and they are bringing many of the features that I paid for on the Titan X2 into a more affordable and portable lighting kit.

The Gemini 1x1 Hard is Litepanels next evolution of the Gemini. Many panels have gone with a lensed option to focus output further away from the fixture, but Litepanels had the advantage of learning from their competitors early mistakes. What they've created is a panel much more flexible and powerful than many other options already on the market.

Amazon Affiliates B&H Affiliate Program Adorama AffiliateTripod Showdown - Sachtler, Switchpod, Manfrotto, Ifootage, Joby - (Tabletops and Fluid Heads)Tommy Callaway2021-01-03 | Tripods, fluid heads, and other camera holding tools are pretty boring compared to all the sweet cameras, lights, lenses, and other things you can spend money on, but pretty much everyone needs one, and there's not a ton of information from the trendy YouTubers that teach about the difference in quality between price levels. It's not common knowledge that pros will spend as much as their camera on their tripod and fluid head setup... but why? Isn't a tripod just a thing to hold your camera? In this video, I go over all my experience buying tripods over the years, and why I ended up spending almost 3 grand on my tripod/fluid head setup after 5 years of being disappointed with all the other things that have held my camera.

Lupo has matured their superpanels, actionpanels, smart panels, and now the kickasspanel into an awesome lineup of lights, all using the same technology and interface, and similar build qualities, all while remaining light weight and punchy. They have a bunch of dual color lights, full color lights, and single colors lights, and I've overheard they have even more exciting things in store for next year.. but they didn't tell anyone about them yet, so stay tuned.
