First Look: The new DJI Lito X1 Drone

DJI says the Lito X1 is aimed at content creators, those who shoot travel videography and for “advanced beginners” Whatever, this is a nice litle drone that covers a lot of bases in my opinion, and is a delight to fly.

Review: OSMO Pocket 4

In the real world, the Pocket 4 is somewhat unique, and at first glance, you’d be excused for thinking maybe it is a solution looking for a problem. And you’d be wrong.

We've Come A Long, Long Way. Make Use of It. RTFM. Here's Why.

Take the humble action camera. Released in 2006, it was one of the few products that was a breath of fresh in a somewhat stagnant marketplace. Look at what it can do now.

When you are video editing, you can never have too many screens I say.

Configuring the 15″ Tablet (without USB-C Video). It Works!

I was curious to see if it would work with my Dell XPS 8950 desktop, the reason being when editing video, I use a two-screen setup for DaVinci Resolve and a third screen would be handy to allow me to look up references, download graphics, keep the script in view and a hundred other things.

GoPro – On a Mission - but it is a sound strategy? I have my doubts.

https://cre-8.com.au/2026/04/15/gopro-on-a-mission/
