Saramonic K9 XTX review: professional wireless XLR with timecode that plugs into your existing setup
The K9 XTX is a digital UHF plug-on transmitter that turns any wired XLR microphone, such as a RODE NTG4+, into a wireless one. It plugs directly onto the base of an XLR mic, the same way a traditional plug-on…
Saramonic SG-MS1 review: an M-S stereo production microphone that outgrows Saramonic’s own shotgun label
The SG-MS1 is a clever all-in-one stereo solution built around Mid-Side recording rather than a conventional mono capsule. Saramonic positions it inside its shotgun-microphone range, which is where the confusion starts, because it is not a traditional shotgun replacement, and…

The question that followed the Z9 everywhere was not about its sensor or its autofocus. It was, over and over, how heavy is it? Nikon clearly heard it, because eighteen months later the Z8 arrived with the Z9’s sensor, the…
DJI SDR Transmission 2 review: switchable transceivers and true 4K finally arrive
The SDR Transmission 2 is DJI's second-generation wireless video transmission system, built around a pair of identical transceiver units that can each be switched to act as a transmitter or a receiver. It replaces the fixed TX and RX roles…
