In the meantime with Christmas almost upon us here are our top 5 suggestions for your Christmas stocking this year.
GoPro Hero 7 Black
The GoPro Hero 7 Black is easily one of the top contenders for action camera of the year. The new HyperSmooth image stabilization makes it possible to capture really smooth shots, without the need for an external gimbal stabilizer, while the newly redesigned interface makes it very easy to change settings and navigate the menu.
INSTA360 One X
Speaking of crazy image stabilization and action cameras, the new INSTA360 One X is raising the bar of what an action camera can do by implementing 5.7K and 4K 360 degree video in a very compact form factor at a very competitive price.
Sennheiser Memory Mic
The Sennheiser Memory Mic would definitely be my third pick because of its compact size and quality omni directional capsule designed to capture pro quality audio. The Memory mic also offers a very easy one-touch synchronization via the Sennheiser mobile app.
Joby GorillaPod
Joby GorillaPod tripods have been synonymous with vlogging, mobile filmmaking and photography for quite some time. That’s why I am going with the GorillaPod 3K flexible tripod as my fourth pick. It has a maximum payload of around 3 kgs and it can carry pretty much any mirrorless or DSLR on the market making it perfect for vlogging and snapping photographs on the move.
Atomos Ninja V
The Atomos Ninja V also makes my wish list not only thanks to its intuitive, high resolution screen and HDR monitoring capabilities but also thanks to its ability to capture broadcast ready 10bit ProRes out of any mirrorless camera. Combine this with a compact 5-inch form factor and affordable price, and you get the perfect addition to your camera.
