Polaroid Now+ Generation 3 Instant Camera Overview

I was sent the Polaroid Now+ Generation 3 instant camera in a coral color. They had sent the camera and two cartridges of photos with no expectation of any content being produced. In this article, I'll be sharing my experience with it over a few days of use.  Check out the full video on YouTube: Check out the Polaroid Now+ Gen3 Instant Camera:  B&H: https://bhpho.to/4o2Jv5g   Amazon: https://amzn.to/4n6XJ3L   Moment: https://partner.shopmoment.com/je90j6   Best Buy: https://bestbuycreators.7tiv.net/bOMJrb   Adorama:  https://prf.hn/l/64Mmn0p/   ebay: https://ebay.us/CW4XqJ   As an affiliate of these shops, I earn from qualifying purchases!

Should you ask for a photo every single time?

If you are into photography or videography, you have likely faced the question: should you ask for a photo every single time at an event?

Creating DIY Video Rigs with LEGOs

In this article I'm going over videography setups I made out of LEGOs...back in 2017. At the time it was a pretty decent option I had on-hand to accomplish what I needed with my video work. The main focus here is a video slide because I have a corresponding video I had made back then. However, at the end of the article I show photos of two different mounts I had made.  Check out the DIY slider video on YouTube: Fujifilm X100F Digital Camera:  ebay: https://ebay.us/Kgymlv   Used from KEH: https://tidd.ly/4o4KG3z B&H: https://bhpho.to/2GnW5Is   Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YPRdo0   As an affiliate of these shops, I earn from qualifying purchases!
