Sachtler flowtech 75 MS

Manfrotto Nitrotech N8
We first saw Nitrotech at NAB 2017. It impressed us enough that we gave it our Best Support of NAB Award and immediately began to pester Manfrotto for a review unit.

The Sigma 24-35mm F2 DG HSM Art Zoom is affordable fast glass and are nicely built. The short distance of this zoom might be concerning to those needing more. The MC-11 is a nice mount converter but does slow down the AF. Overall, Sigma made some great products and...
Yuneec announced the Typhoon H at CES 2016. It’s a hexacopter with retractable landing gear and a detachable camera that shoots UHD 4K. The specs and demos at CES impressed us enough that we gave it our Best Drone of CES 2016 award. On paper, it’s very cool. In fact, we...
