Time to update griffinhammond.com/gear for 2023!

samedi 31 décembre 2022 • Duration 44:39

Griffin keeps a full gear list at griffinhammond.com/gear – but 2022 brought some workflow changes, so it’s time to review and update his inventory. Plus, Nick decides to buy a new electric vehicle, and picks it up the very same day!

Didn’t realize I needed a gimbal webcam!

jeudi 29 décembre 2022 • Duration 40:37

Griffin didn’t buy the Insta360 Link 4K Webcam because it has a gimbal. But it turns out, auto-tracking movement is its most useful feature. Even better, the image quality outperforms the similarly priced 4K Opal C1 ($300), which is marketed as “The first professional webcam.”

Plus, Nick lets Lensa AI reference his selfies to generate “Magic Avatars.”

How Freelancers Can Build Retirement Savings
