I was recently sent the Llano 3-in-1 three-slot GoPro battery charger, a device designed to charge batteries for the Hero 9, 10, 11, and 12. It's a combination charger, power bank, and storage case for Micro SD cards all in one. Llano did send me this device to try out and make a video on based on my collaboration terms .  Check out the full video on YouTube with more information:  Check out the Llano 3-in-1 30W Charger for GoPro 9 to 12 here:  https://amzn.to/44qUMDF As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases!

The first thing you'll notice is its design and build. It's a relatively hefty device, weighing in at 365 grams. It has a grippy, soft-touch material that feels secure in the hand. Included in the box are a wrist stra...

I was recently sent a Llano Aurora camera battery, specifically the EN-EL15c model for many Nikon cameras. Keep in mind that Llano sent this battery to me at no cost, but they had to agree to my terms .  Check out the full video on YouTube for more information:  Check out the llano Aurora USB-C EN-EL15C Battery for Nikon cameras:  Amazon:  https://amzn.to/3ZLMbtY   ebay:  https://ebay.us/L7Lom6 As an affiliate of these shops, I earn from qualifying purchases!

Usually anything within 24 hours of the visit.  The most interesting thing about this battery is that it has a built-in display to show its power level. It also has a slightly increased capacity rating compared to its predecessor and the official Nikon battery. Let's take a look at what it offers. Though, I don't test capacity here so take any mention of capacity with a some level of skepticism. My OEM batteries are a few years old, so...

More camera releases and announcements as of quarter 2 in 2025. Obviously, I haven't used these cameras myself, so this is just a bunch of my opinions based on the specs and what I've seen online.  Check out the video on YouTube with a lot more information:  Leica SL3-S:  B&H: https://bhpho.to/4notFlw   Fujifilm X half:  B&H: https://bhpho.to/4n9esob   Moment: https://partner.shopmoment.com/Vx0dXA   Fujifilm X-E5:  B&H: https://bhpho.to/4eb1xhf   Moment: https://partner.shopmoment.com/gO45dr   Ricoh GR IV:  B&H: https://bhpho.to/4naM3hv   Moment: https://partner.shopmoment.com/vPOmdd   OM Systems OM-5 Mark II:  B&H: https://bhpho.to/449A2Aa   As an affiliate of these shops, I earn from qualifying purchases!

I recently swapped my larger Godox 32x32 inch softbox for the smaller 24x24 inch model to better fit my workspace. The smaller size should be more manageable in this small space.  Watch the full video on YouTube or on my Amazon page for a lot more information:  The Weeylite Ninja 400 light I'm using is very bright even at 1 percent power. This led me to a DIY project to create an additional diffusion layer for better light control. This article covers my review of the Godox 24x24 softbox, its assembly, and a basic guide on how I created a custom diffusion panel.

Today I want to talk about a piece of hardware that became a bit of a keystone for my new computer build back in December: the StarTech USB 3.0 Multi-Card Memory Reader. The big deal with this one, and the main reason I picked it up, is that it was the only UHS-II SD card reader I could find that fits in a PC expansion bay.
