I have spent the last six years shooting documentary work across three continents, from refugee camps in Greece to street markets in Hanoi. After my fair share of missed shots, corrupted files, and overheating cameras, I learned that choosing the right documentary camera is the single most important gear decision you will make.

When I started filming interviews for client projects back in 2018, I picked up whatever DSLR was lying around and prayed the autofocus would hold up. Half the time it didn’t.

I spent three months testing 10 of the best garage floor mats on the market to find out which ones actually hold … Read more

When I dropped a 315-pound deadlift on bare concrete, I cracked my garage floor in three places. That was the day I learned why every serious lifter needs proper rubber gym flooring rolls underneath their setup. After testing eight of the most popular options on the market, I can tell you that the right flooring … Read more

I spent the better part of three months outfitting a 400-square-foot garage gym, and if there is one thing I learned the hard way, it is that your flooring choice makes or breaks the entire setup. Dropping a loaded barbell on bare concrete sends shockwaves through your foundation and leaves cracks that cost thousands to … Read more

By the third summer of fighting bare patches, weeds, and a water bill that climbed every month, I decided enough was enough.
