Philips might not be known as a top-dog brand, however, the Philips Brilliance Monitor is a fantastic investment for filmmakers. It comes packed with extra features that most other monitors lack such as the Hideaway PowerSensor that saves up to 80% on energy costs - which are arguably a bit high.
This camera is great for both filmmakers and photographers! It’s super lightweight, easy to carry around with you during your travels, and it shoots in UHD 4K. What’s unique about this model is that the 4K photo mode offers a mixture of photo and video so that you can capture a brief video and then pick the best images frame by frame.
This Apple Tv is blazing fast! You can actually use it to mirror your iMac using AirPlay to play what’s on your screen on the Apple TV as well.
Neewr strives to offer affordable filming gear to every creative person who is working on a tight budget. In fact, we have an array of Neewr products ready for grabs here at the studio, but the 480 lights are my absolute favorite product from the brand.
The 2-Pack Dimmable is a perfect option if you need lights on the spot for shoots like interviews.
This tablet is not only an actual steal, but it’s also branded by Amazon. It’s a 10.1" full Full HD screen that comes with Alexa to make your life easier.
This is probably my most favorite editing machine out there right now in terms of quality and affordability. The M1 chip is Apple’s newest and insanely fast GPU especially if you edit in Final Cut Pro.
This film done by our tech expert , Adriel, is definitely one of our favorite products on this list. It took 2 years to write, 15 days to shoot, and an additional 6 months to edit and to travel to all the festivals before it ended up on Amazon Prime. This film was actually made using the Panasonic LUMIX G7 4K Digital Camera (second item on our list).
This mic is extremely helpful for everyone who is running interviews or live streams on their phone. The quality sound it gives for the price of $13.98 is absolutely astonishing.
