I’ll admit it right now: when Freewell’s iPhone lenses landed on my desk, I didn’t have high hopes. Opening the boxes inspired little confidence, with lurid branding and cheaply-made cases giving off an unmistakable AliExpress aura. Still, I test all the major models for our best iPhone lenses guide, come rain or shine. And anyway, Freewell has apparently been making filters and iPhone lenses since 2012, so I was keen to see if it could compete with the big boys: Moment, Sandmarc and ShiftCam.

I love my job, in large part because of the immense range of products I get to test. But nothing excites me more than when a medium format camera lands (or more precisely, thuds) onto my desk. Medium format cameras represent the pinnacle of imaging. And this camera, the Fujifilm GFX100 II, is in turn the pinnacle of medium format. It’s the best of the best.

When I took the On Cloudrock Mid hiking boots for review, I was in desperate need. My previous walking boots, a set of Timberland GreenStrides, were totally worn out — so much so that the sole had gone completely flat. Luckily for me, the Cloudrocks fit the replacement bill perfectly. Like the GreenStrides, the Cloudrocks, while ostensibly a hiking boot, are more of a hybrid sneaker/boot. And that’s exactly what I want. See, my Timmies were my daily drivers: I wore them for everything.

As I write this, it’s early summer, and both of my greyhounds are shedding their fur. Luckily, I’ve been testing the GTech AirRAM 2 K9, and its compadre, the Multi K9 Cordless Handheld Pet Vacuum (which I’ll be reviewing separately) — and my carpets are as free from dog hair as they’ve ever been during shedding season. The AirRAM 2 K9 is a modified version of the GTech AirRAM 2 (I know, what a surprise).

The GoPro Hero represents a back-to-basics approach from the legendary, and indeed first, modern action camera manufacturer. This tiny camera is stripped back in every sense that matters, and deliberately so. See, the Hero is intended with a couple of (potentially overlapping) buyers in mind. The first are no frills and/or budget buyers, who can’t or don’t want to spend large sums on a flagship camera packed with features they won’t use.
