About Chelsea Miller

Hi, I’m Chelsea Miller, a freelance photographer and videographer with over a decade of experience. I specialize in helping creatives like you find the best lightweight and portable gear for on-the-go content creation. My goal is to provide honest, practical advice that saves you time, money, and frustration.

My Story

My journey started with a cheap point-and-shoot camera and a passion for capturing the beauty around me. I quickly realized that the bulky equipment was holding me back, especially when traveling. I spent years experimenting with different setups, learning what worked and what didn’t, often the hard way.

I remember one particularly disastrous shoot in the Scottish Highlands. My heavy camera bag weighed me down, the rain was relentless, and my camera’s battery died halfway through the day. It was then I vowed to find a better way – a way to create high-quality content without sacrificing mobility and comfort.

Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to finding and testing the best lightweight and versatile gear. I’ve filmed documentaries in the Amazon rainforest, photographed weddings in Italy, and created promotional videos for startups in Silicon Valley. Through it all, I’ve learned the importance of having the right tools for the job.

I’m not just a reviewer; I’m a fellow creative who understands the challenges you face. I’m here to share my experiences and help you make informed decisions about your gear.

What I Believe In

• Practicality: Equipment should enhance, not hinder, your creative process.
• Honesty: I’ll always give you my unbiased opinion, even if it means pointing out flaws.
• Empowerment: I want to equip you with the knowledge and tools to create your best work.
• Community: Learning is a collaborative effort. I’m here to share my knowledge and learn from you.

Why Trust My Reviews?

My reviews are based on real-world testing and thorough research. I don’t rely solely on manufacturer specifications; I put the gear through its paces in various shooting scenarios, from low-light environments to challenging weather conditions. I focus on compatibility, portability, durability, and overall performance. I try to get my hands on the devices long term so that I can speak to the wear and tear issues that develop over time. I’m not afraid to point out the shortcomings of a product, and I always provide honest recommendations based on your specific needs.

“Gear should empower your creativity, not limit it.”
