Advertisement & Sponsorships

There are various options available to advertise through my work.

Before I will accept sponsorships, I need to verify the quality of your company and then decide if what you offer my audience is in line with their best interests and my brand's reputation.

I must follow FTC guidelines in any advertising I have integrated into my work. That means disclosures to viewers and website readers.

Each placement option will have a guaranteed length of time that it will be live on my platforms. There can be situations outside of my control on a given website or service, so having a set amount of time is necessary.

I reserve the right to remove an advertisement before the decided upon length of time if there is evidence that your company has a public PR incident, or meaningfully negative customer feedback I see online that could hurt my brand.

Paid link placement

On this website.

It can be in a new article I produce or an existing article of your choice.
It can be in the list of links in my navigation side panel.

In the description of my YouTube videos.
In a pinned comment of my YouTube videos.
In the description of videos on other platforms such as TikTok and Instagram.

Keep in mind that links placed into these platforms are not clickable, so it's more of a shoutout of your company or website.

In the profile link list of Instagram.

This will be limited in time and cost will depend on if it's the top link or not.

This link can be in a new or existing piece of content. We will need to decide together regarding text to accompany the link.

Advertisement integrations in my video work.

Near the start of a full length video I will promote your product or service.

I can provide various topics in my queue of projects that you can decide to sponsor.

Vertical short videos.

I generally produce a short vertical video for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms that I will often upload in tandem with a full video that I produce. If you prefer this shorter format then we can only focus on that.
These paid mentions will be limited in scope due to the total video length restraint of under 1 minute long.

You can preview the full video before it goes live to make sure it is fitting with your brand.

Complete sponsorship of a video.

You provide a theme and product(s) or service(s) you have an interest in promoting.
We work together on the video idea that integrates your company's goals.
You can preview the resulting video before I make it public. Reasonable change requests will be possible at this point.
A percentage of payment will need to be provided before works starts and will not be refunded if you decide to not have the video go public or end up not wanting to continue with the project at any point.

Textual or image posts on my social media.

We will work together to create one or more sponsored posts that I would make to the social media account of your choice.

Product placements

Your products can be placed in the background of my videos.
Your products can be in tests and samples I often generate for my work like with lens reviews.
I cannot talk or mention your products in these situations based on FTC guidelines. The purpose of this is to increase the general visibility of your brand by having it on-screen.

First look at the Sigma 18-50mm F/2.8 for Sony E-mount bought from KEH

I've use a Sony Alpha A6000 and the PZ 16–50mm F/3.5–5.6 OSS kit lens with my computer as a webcam for a long time now. It's a lower cost option that has been very consistent outputting 1080p at 30 FPS to a USB based HDMI capture device. The kit lens is generally fine, but it has a few quirks. The biggest issue is that throughout the zoom range the maximum aperture value is not fixed. This introduces technical challenges when I want to show detailed views of product or similar use cases. There are also other considerations I'll talk about later in this article. So I decided to buy the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | C lens in E-mount as a replacement. Links in this article are a mix of paid and through my affiliates. I earn from each in different ways. One is a flat fee and the others I earn from qualifying purchases. Considering them for your purchasing needs helps make the creation of this information viable! I made a video unboxing the lens and trying it out with Open ...

Canon M6 Mark II HDMI & 10-bit Output?

I’m writing all of this down in case sources disappear and I want to reference M6ii HDMI-out information in the future. Selecting clean HDMI from the settings. So this is not by any means a definitive source but rather a jumble of information I’m putting together in the moment. The “HDMI info disp” setting to select clean output mode. This camera's 4K isn't really that size internally, but better than 1080p at least. There is one webpage I know about that mentioned the Canon EOS M6 Mark II supports clean HDMI output in 10-bit 4:2:2. I don’t think the page exists any longer on Canon USA’s website because the old link no longer works after a redesign. https://youtu.be/_UT9u0XVn5U However it does currently exist on the Internet Archive . A screen capture from the Internet Archive webpage copy. Here’s the important quote from that webpage: HDMI recording: Menu-selected user choices for HDMI output with info (images recorded to the SD card); Clean 4K output, or...

Camera Gear Reviews and Marketing Issues Exposed

A great overview by Gerald Undone on his experiences in the field of camera gear related videos! It is an important topic. The more open the better, I’d say. After over 13 years making photography and videography gear videos, I’ve not had a huge amount of success comparatively, but I’ve also never been especially brand safe to begin with for these companies to consider me. 🤣 I think his mentions toward the end of the video are especially important. The unwritten pressure, or worse with companies like Insta360 , shouldn’t be acceptable and should be publicly called out more often. That’s probably the only way things will actually change for the better. I created a video detailing my opinion on the topic further: More of my comments on the video… His YouTube channel. 4:30 I understand that’s what Gerald does, but are there situations where companies are paying for flights and hotel costs of other reviewers with the expectation of a video/article being produced? (EDIT: I’ve seen confirm...
