We had the chance to take a PYXIS 12K for a spin and share our hands-on perspective and findings about this camera in particular and cinema cameras in general. We were surprised by a few of our findings, and we’re left with the question: is this our next camera purchase?

We got the chance to test the new Insta360 Mic Pro wireless lav system, and go deep on all of the features and our experiences using this new mic. Also, is it worth using a phone app to check white balance in the field?

Note: Insta360 sent us the Mic Pro for review prior to the product launch. Insta360 did not have any editorial control over the contents of this episode and did not have the opportunity to review the episode prior to release.
