Hello everyone, this is my latest review on my Youtube channel. I do an unboxing and first impressions test of the new Comica BoomX-U U2 wireless microphone system. For $219 USD you get a 2 transmitter system, which is pretty unique at this price point. Like the Rode Wireless Go, the transmitters also have built in microphones, but the kit includes 2 lav microphones as well. It's a decent kit at a really good price point. Check out the video below

Let's Talk About Vlogging: Interview with PIXERF Singapore
I was recently invited by Pixerf to participate in their Pixerf Talks program. They interview various photographers, videographers and social media practitioners from around the world to see how we work in our field. We both had to compromise the interview time since we are so far apart. Their start time of 9pm is a bit late for a live Facebook interview, but that works out to 6am Vancouver time, which is way too early for me. I decided to sleep in my studio and wake up at 5am so I could be ready on time. Please enjoy the interview.

How to Clean Your Fujifilm Camera on FujiLove's Youtube Channel
FujiLove Magazine asked me to do a video on how to clean your camera. This seems pretty basic, but there are some who are new to photography and don't really know what to use and how to clean their cameras and lenses. I showcase some products from Cura Japan, but most optical non-alcoholic cleaner and microfibre cleaning wipes will do. For those who are interested, you can purchase Cura Japan cleaning products from Camera Film Photo in Hong Kong with a 15% discount until the end of July 2020 with discount code: ilovetaco. I didn't pick the code, but I do think it's funny. Thanks for watching and don't forget to 'like' the video to show your support for me. If you want to see more videos like this, leave a comment in the video. Thanks everyone.

2. 112g With Rounded Crash-proof Aluminum Corners

Fujifilm X100V Quick Review
Hello everyone,
Here is my first impressions video on the new Fujifilm X100V. This camera is a winner. Almost 10 years since it's announcement, the X100 series has slowly evolved into a very competent and desirable camera. Even if you own the most advanced DSLR or mirrorless ILC, you probably still want an X100V as your vacation or 'inspiration' camera. The latest improvements with an articling screen and weather-sealing has made this camera even better than the previous X100F. Watch my latest video as I go over the pros, cons and comparisons with the X-Pro3, X100F, Leica Q and the GFX 50S!!
