Disclosures

How we write our guides and reviews, and how links on this site can earn us money.

Retailer and affiliate links

Some links in our guides go to retailers such as Amazon. Some of those may be affiliate links: if you buy something after clicking one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These links use a “Check price” button and are marked rel="sponsored".

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

Commissions never decide what we recommend, where a product ranks, or what we say about it.

How we choose what to review

We only write about gear and software that we use on our own client shoots. No brand pays for placement in our guides, and no brand reviews or approves an article before it goes live. If a product in an article was loaned or provided free, we say so at the top of that article.

Accuracy

We check specs, compatibility, and pricing against manufacturer sources when we publish and when we update an article, and each article shows the date it was last updated. Products get revised, firmware changes features, and prices move, so please confirm details with the manufacturer or retailer before you buy.

Our guides are general information based on our own experience. They are not legal, financial, or professional advice. For filming permits, insurance, or contracts, check with the relevant authority or a qualified professional.

Trademarks

Product names, brands, and logos mentioned on this site belong to their owners. Mentioning them does not mean those companies endorse us or that we are affiliated with them.

Photo credits

Product photos in our guides are either our own or used under the license credited beneath each image (such as Creative Commons). Other illustrative photos come from Unsplash. If you own an image and think it's credited incorrectly, contact us and we'll correct or remove it.

Client work

Videos, logos, and client names on this site come from projects we produced. Campaign results belong to our clients, and every project is different.
