    A parent that probably isn’t comfortable with their child having a cellphone might not be comfortable with their kids posting their own vlog, just sayin’. If for some chance that they do consent to it, likely, they’ll use their own cellphone’s recording features so they retain control of posts or that might be the option that they could go if they somehow agree to it. Frankly, parents these days should keep a closer eye and relationship with their kids regardless so we have less shitbags growing up and haunting us later on.

    Moment lenses
    Davinci Resolve

    “ I got the camera, got a fuckin’ A6000, got this great Rode mic and even a little tripod. Now all they got on me, is my lack of creativity.”

    Any Suggestions on a decent, inexpensive gimbal? I’m just looking to record my kids concerts & what not with my phone.

      Er. Sorry if my comment isn’t what you’re looking for. You might want a built in optical stabilizer in your next phone.
      I don’t have experience with gimbals, but I did make sure to have an optical stabilizer to combat my hand shaking in taking videos of my niece.

    Good to see you back online. Congratulations. But you didn’t tell the beginners throw out the black lipstick. Really.

    Don’t buy Canon G7X mark 3. It has very bad autofocus.

    Woah, Ashley Esqueda. I remember her from TechnoBuffalo, back when I was still subscribed to them.
    Did CNET darken her soul with their trash or what?

    Orrrr…. Use your android phones camera and microphone,
    Put paper on lamp
    And… Thats it. But its actually free

    • fhm4OVERLORD

      that severely depends on which Android phone you have.
      All iPhones have good cameras, but not all Android operated phones have good hardware or software (for camera).
