August 6, 2026I've been running RC cars for the better part of a decade, and I still remember the day I plugged a NiMH pack into a bargain-bin wall charger and watched it puff up like a balloon. That was the day I learned why LiPo chargers for RC cars are not optional accessories. They are the…
August 6, 2026I've spent the last three months running eight different brushless RC cars through backyard bash sessions, parking lot speed runs, and rocky trail drives to find out which ones actually deliver. The jump from a brushed motor to a brushless system isn't subtle - we're talking about cars that hit 50+ mph, run longer on…
August 6, 2026I remember the first time I sent an RC buggy airborne off a backyard ramp and realized this hobby is way more fun than I expected. After spending three months testing ten of the best RC buggies on dirt tracks, gravel, and grass, I am putting together this guide to help you skip the trial…
August 6, 2026A follow focus system is a set of parts that work together to help you focus more precisely and conveniently for film or video work. It allows a focus puller to control the lens from the side of the rig using a geared handwheel, giving the camera operator clear sightlines and producing sharper, repeatable focus…
August 6, 2026Looking for the best head straps for GoPro Hero 13? I spent weeks testing 8 different head strap mounts across hiking trails, kayak trips, and cycling routes to find which ones actually stay put.The Hero 13 changed the game with its new magnetic mounting system, but not every head strap plays nicely with it.

August 6, 2026I still remember my first GoPro Hero 13 sunset shoot without an ND filter. The footage looked choppy, almost jittery, with frozen motion that screamed "amateur hour." After dropping a quality ND filter on the lens, everything changed. The same scene turned into smooth, cinematic motion blur that looked like it belonged in a movie…
August 6, 2026I spent the last three months testing every major selfie stick with my GoPro Hero 13 to find what actually works. The Hero 13 changed the game with its new magnetic quick-release mounting system, and not every stick on the market plays nicely with it.After 47 sessions of testing across surfing trips, mountain hikes, underwater…
August 6, 2026After 30 days of filming with the Hero 13 Black on hiking trails, river trips, and weekend skate sessions, one thing became painfully clear. The camera eats batteries like nobody's business. Shooting 5.3K at 60fps will drain a single Enduro pack in under an hour, leaving you scrambling for a spare. That is exactly why…
August 6, 2026Your GoPro Hero 13 is built for the gnarliest conditions, but the two screens and that giant lens are still glass. I've cracked more GoPro displays than I care to admit during surf sessions, ski runs, and muddy trail rides. After three months of testing seven different screen protectors for GoPro Hero 13, I can…
August 6, 2026I dropped my first GoPro into a kayak paddle splash two summers ago and learned an expensive lesson. After burning through three silicone sleeves and one flooded battery, our team at Kayak Cambria spent 90 days testing every case we could find for the Hero 13.The GoPro Hero 13 is waterproof to about 10 meters…
