About Me
Hey everyone, I’m Michel and I have been a technology geek over the past 20 years.
Obsessed with gadgets and computers since a very young age, I spent most of my childhood disassembling remote control cars, desktop computers, cameras and many other electronics, practically anything I put my hands on. I would prefer and enjoy disassembling my gifts than actually playing with them!
All this love for electronics and technology led me to pursue a career in IT, I now work for an international technology firm, where I manage and implement IT projects all over the world. People always tried to convince me that: “yeah, your interest will change when you grow up.” But no it didn’t, I’m actually doing what I love and most importantly what I wanted to do since I was a child.
I’m also a photography enthusiast, I spent years experimenting with different kinds of cameras from Polaroids to recent digital action cameras, throughout this website you will notice my passion towards action cameras (I do own a wide range of these cameras with tens of accessories and mounts) and as a sports and adventure lover, they do serve me a lot and offer me excellent videos and photos when I’m kite surfing, climbing or hiking.
The reason I created this site was to help folks like yourself in finding the right product to purchase and avoid disappointment later on. To do this, I am going to share my personal experiences with you and what I have bought and used over the last few years through my own “trial and error” experiments and also through the whole range of action cameras and accessories that I own. I know that online reviews help a lot, I wish that I had a site like this one when I first started to purchase my stuff.
I also ask that if I ever say anything that captures your interest, that you get involved within my site. I love to talk about action gadgets and technology in general and if you have anything interesting that you want to share or any opinions of any of the content I have created on my site, please do speak up. I love feedback in every form.
I hope you enjoy the site!
Cheers,
Michel

Hello Michel! so i have some troubles with my gopro hero 5. I wanted to record electric guitar but the original gopro’s microphone had really lack of quality so i got my self shure sm57 and shure X2U adaptor. But like when i connect mic to laptop all the lights on shure x2u turns on and u see that its actually working , but when i conect it to my gopro the shure x2u doesnt seem working and the videos are being recorded still with integrated gopro mic. Any thoughts how to corectly connect everything together and start up camera using external mic ?
Looking foward for your reply 🙂

Just got a v50 Elite. My first try of several videos riding my bike on a bright day with passing clouds resulted in a bluish color in all recordings. I was using highest 4K. Any advice or explanation for the way too bluish color? Thanks.
Apologies if you got this message more than once. I was not getting any kind of confirmation that it was being sent.

That’s unusual, I don’t have any blue color saturation when shooting 4K with my V50 Elite. Have you upgraded to the latest firmware?
