  • It’s mainly the lens size. It has a wide zoom range with a servo rocker (zoom buttons) and can par focal* (focus at one zoom range and stay the same focus when zoomed out)

    Then it’s a massive battery on the back and an audio kit strapped on the side. Then sometimes streaming device to live broadcast. Then you got a shoulder pad on the bottom and a big viewfinder for daylight shooting. Strip all that away the body isn’t as big and heavy as you think. So largely all operational to be used running around without needing to stop and change gear.








  • It still might be my favourite device of all time. There was something magical about that era and a good ol iPod classic. Maybe I was at an age where music was a huge part of my life and now less so. Maybe it was because everyone carried around an iPod, and scrolling through each other’s meant getting to know each other. There’s something amazing about it that having access to everything now ended up killing that feeling. Or I just got older.


  • Stephen Fry’s reading of Harry Potter is just the best.

    On a JK Rowling note. Her Cormoran Strike series (starting with Cuckoo’s Calling) under a different pen name is actually pretty great. It’s a modern day detective series with great personable characters. Very easy to listen to. Despite her crappy views, Rowling’s way of writing is very clean and simple so might fit your brief.
