Freewell Launches a Very Slim Variable ND/CPL Filter Kit

My first impression when pulling Freewell's latest filter kit offering out of its packaging was how small and light it was.

We Review the DJI Osmo Pocket 4: A Small-Size Pocketable Camera With Huge Capabilities.

Since the debut of the first Osmo Pocket series, launched seven years ago, it has quickly grown its user base with its one-of-a-kind design, tapping into a niche market segment by offering quality stabilized video at a pocketable size.

Fast forward to 2026, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is currently at its 4th iteration of product development, keeping the same design language. Building on the success of its predecessor, it now offers enhanced imaging capabilities and further refinements to its user experience.

The nifty fifty has earned its reputation as the go-to standard prime, but the Viltrox 55mm f/1.8 EVO feels like a quiet refinement of that formula. Just a 5mm shift in focal length is enough to change how you see and compose a scene. After testing the new Z mount variety on location, the quality of this lens becomes clear.

Ulanzi D200X and Dial Review: Can They Improve Your Editing Workflow?
