Pat Flynn helped me co-invent and create SwitchPod over the past 15 months before we launched it on Kickstarter.

At the time of recording this episode, a couple days into the campaign, we had already doubled our goal and raised over $227,000 to make thousands of SwitchPods for our backers.

Today is the day!

SwitchPod has launched on Kickstarter and I couldn’t be more excited! If you just can’t wait, head on over to our Kickstarter page to check it out.

In this review I share my experience testing the Canon EOS R for filming videos.

I give my thoughts on the 4K crop, the quality of the 720p slow motion files, using this camera for vlogging, how to turn it into a mini cinema C200, and pontificate about the future of Canon's mirrorless cameras.

Canon’s first full frame mirrorless camera is a funky little thing, and if you’re considering buying it to use mainly for photography or hybrid with video and want to know the photo features, I’m going to go through what I like and don’t like about this camera, plus share who I think should buy it.

My wife Jen has been a wedding and portrait photographer for over 7 years, captured over 100 weddings, and she has exclusively used the Canon 5D Mark III.

So while I had the EOS R on loan from B&H to review, I had her try it out for a couple photo shoots and sat down with her to talk about what she thought of the camera.

Lens filters are a great way to get in-camera effects for both photographers and filmmakers.

In this video I share 7 camera hacks for making your images more cinematic.

In this video we take a look at the DJI Osmo Pocket, one of the smallest 3-axis stabilized handheld cameras ever with Dave Alitizer from Kinotika.

Something really bothers me about the internet, and it’s that word: influencer.

But once I thought about the word a little more, I realized I’d actually been an influence on how some people spent their money for years now.

In this post I share how influencers should act and as follower of anyone online, what you need to know about how things really work behind the scenes.

As SwitchPod is getting closer to the launch of its crowdfunding campaign and being available for pre-sale, I wanted to share a little bit more behind the scenes of the process we’ve gone through over the past year to get it made.

In this video I show every prototype we’ve made so far.

In this video I share why I sold my RED Scarlett-W after owning in for 18 months and how you should think about your next camera purchase or that one you "dream" of owning one day.

I wasn't expecting to sell it so fast, but I did.

If you're really wanting to upgrade some piece of gear you own, the message in this video is for you.

One lens I've never owned or needed to use is a super telephoto zoom.

So I borrowed the Sigma 150-600mm Sports lens directly from them to share 4 reasons why you'd choose to film or photograph using a 600mm super telephoto lens (and 4 reasons why you probably shouldn't use one).

This is a review of the Blackmagic Design Resolve Mini Panel for color grading.

We’ll walk through all the controls and buttons on it as well as talk through who I recommend buying this.

I also compare it to the cheaper Micro version.

Since last month's SwitchPod announcement video after VidCon we've been working hard behind the scenes on finishing up the design and prototyping for our new tripod for vloggers.

In this video & post I give a little update on the timeline of when it is going to come out, how much it will cost, and a bunch more of the frequently asked questions we've been getting.

I've held off on making any videos about three-axis gimbals, even though companies have sent me ones in the past, because I haven't found one that I'd actually use on a shoot.

But these two gimbals are reliable, heavy-duty, and help me get cinematic smooth shots when I need them.

There are many pro's and con's to each of these gimbals, especially when it comes to using heavier cameras, so Dave Altizer and I go through as many as we can.

Have you ever seen the videos where a handful of stars from movies or television (like directors, cinematographers, actresses, etc.) sit and chat in a roundtable format with The Hollywood Reporter?

They have deep conversations and share things you don't hear in the quick press junket interviews they normally give. They last about an hour. I love them.

Anyways, I've always wanted to host and re-create my own version of that and I finally did it.

In 2011 I quit my corporate job working at Boeing to go work for a blogger (and took a big pay cut too).

5 years later, I was working for myself, making six figures a year.

It definitely hasn't been an easy journey, but here are some things I've learned along the way.

Whether you're a full-time freelancer or you're trying to get your first client on the side, in this video I share my best strategies for how to land your dream clients.

If you struggle with "networking" or getting clients to hire you, the advice in this video will help you out.

If you're trying to get more followers or build an audience online, but aren't growing as fast as you'd hoped, this video is for you.

Creating when no one is paying attention is hard, but you need to commit to the followers you do have.
