How to set up Logitech MX Master 3 for Lightroom Classic

The Logitech MX Master 3 is my newest and so far the favourite mouse I have ever owned. As a long-time user of the original Logitech MX Master (after many years the scroll-wheel started acting up), the third iteration of this series feels like a big upgrade to me. <div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> </div></figure> <div class="gb-button-wrapper gb-button-wrapper-deed192e"> <a class="gb-button gb-button-fa79c192" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsI0-Q8XvCuGPw1RPtH8nbA?sub_confirmation=1"><span class="gb-icon"><svg aria-hidden="true" height="1em" width="1em" viewBox="0 0 576 512" xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path fill="currentColor" d="M549.655 124....

Jaybird Vista follow-up review after 6 months

I just recently revisited one of my first reviews, so it’s only fair I also take another look at my Jaybird Vista earbuds and tell you what I like and don’t like about them. And I can tell you all of that because I have been using them for close to a year now. It’s definitely been at the very least six months, that much I know for sure. I’m still using the Jaybird Vista on an almost daily basis....

FlipBelt Zipper 6 months later – A follow-up review

Please note: This review contains affiliate links. I use the FlipBelt Zipper on just about every single run. Everything I mentioned in my first video on the FlipBelt Zipper still holds up. It’s comfortable, doesn’t bounce or slide, there’s lots of room for headphones, gels, keys, and my phone and it still has an amazingly slim profile. <div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> </div></figure> <div class="gb-button-wrapper gb-button-wrapper-a37f11fd"> <a class="gb-button gb-button-51b5c6a8" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsI0-Q8XvCuGPw1RPtH8nbA?sub_confirmation=1"><span class="gb-icon"><svg xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 576 512" width="1em" height="1em" aria-hidden="true"><path d="M549....

Four reasons I won’t be considering the Sony ZV-1

Sony has just released a new camera directed solely towards vloggers and YouTuber creators. In fact, they’re even calling it the Sony Vlog camera ZV-1 (check out their website below). With my trusty NX1 slowly but surely showing its age, I’m always interested in new cameras. Especially those that won’t cost an arm and a leg, which the Sony ZV-1 certainly doesn’t. Sony came really close to making this camera perfect for the job....

Consider this cheap Loupedeck alternative

What if I told you that there is a cheaper and more customizable alternative to the Loupedeck available. Would you believe me? You’d better believe me because I’m about to tell you how you can convert a simple MIDI controller into a fully functioning Loupedeck alternative. By using a MIDI controller such as the Behringer X-Touch Mini in combination with the software MIDI2LR you can build your own physical controls for Lightroom Classic....

Don’t Buy the Drobo 5D3 – Review as a Windows user

Drobo heavily markets their products, such as the Drobo 5D3, heavily towards photographers. I bought one and have regretted that decision ever since. Drobo products aren’t just not worth the price, the company also treats their customers poorly. Let me tell you how it all started and why I wouldn’t recommend the Drobo 5D3 to my worst enemy. Have a look at the following tweets. It should give you a bit of an insight into how Drobo operates and my frustrations with them as a company....

YI Action Camera review

I bought myself a YI Action Camera (henceforth just YI) after my misguided purchase of the inhaler-shaped HTC RE Camera (luckily that thing broke pretty quickly and I got a full refund) and have been using it ever since. Even now that I’m also in possession of a YI 4K, I still find myself using it sporadically. A quick glance at the YI and it’s obvious who the makers of this camera (YI Technology) were going after: GoPro....

I’ve changed my mind – First experiences and review of Shutterstock

I promised that I would keep you, dear reader, updated on my adventures in the world of microstock photography. So here I am, back with another review. The last time I had a look at Adobe Stock and today it’s time for Shutterstock. It’s been a few weeks since I set out and uploaded my images onto a number of different sites and I’ve made my first experiences, had my first sales and I have made mistakes....
