Blackmagic Pocket
Cinema Camera 4K
At $1,295, this is an
entry-level cinema
camera that won’t
completely break
the bank.Panasonic Lumix Lens
A versatile zoom lens
for cameras with a
Micro 4 3 mount. I have
yet to be disappointed
by what I’ve captured
with it.DJI Mavic 2 Pro Drone
Excellent for shooting
4K aerial video and stills,
but most importantly,
it’s just fun to fly. I was
as giddy as a little kid
during my first flight.DJI Mavic 2 Pro
Fly More Kit
You’ll need additional
batteries if you want to
fly for longer. And if you
crash, it helps to have
those extra propellers.This Gadget Changed My Life
The DJI Osmo Pocket. As the name
suggests, it’s a 4K gimbal camera
that fits easily in your pocket, great
for smooth shooting and capturing
moments on the fly.
What I’m Reading
Good Omens: The Nice and
Accurate Prophecies of Agnes
Nutter, Witch, by Terry Pratch-
ett and Neil Gaiman. A fantasy
novel set in the days ahead of
impending Armageddon, it
has been an appropriate read
after 2020.The Best Thing POP
Ever Taught Me
That even I am capable
of building my own DIY
Adirondack chair.My Favorite
App
Hopper. It’s a
wonderful way to
save money on airline
tickets—I was able to
grab tickets to Easter
Island at half the
normal price.IPHONE OR
ANDROID?
iPhone—everything
I had already owned
was Apple. Now I’m
trapped. Help!@davidcmonkLife Hack
Spend the extra money on a
good pair of socks—it’s worth
it. I recommend the Balega
Blister Resist Quarter socks.DAVIDMONK(PROFILE);COURTESYDJI^ (POCKET,^ DRONE,^ KIT);^ COURTESY^ BLACKMAGIC(CAMERA);COURTESYPANASONIC(LENS);COURTESYWORKMAN(BOOK)
