|
By W. Andrew Powell Verified
| The Gate Magazine Verified
1 The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 looks very familiar, but the stabilized camera offers a big upgrade, packed with new features, hardware improvements, and jaw-dropping slow motion. The Pocket 4 features a new 1-inch CMOS sensor that captures up to 4k/240fps with 2x lossless zoom and a solid digital zoom. With a dynamic range covering 14 stops, and offering a pro 10-bit D-Log colour profile, it’s versatile, and the camera also captures better details at night and in dimly lit spaces.

What was your first job as a journalist?

I was a volunteer at The Ontarion at the University of Guelph, when I was in school there.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Many, many times. Since I was in high school in the early 90s, I used one then, and I still own a couple because there's nothing like it.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Email. There are unfortunately too many pitches to respond to otherwise.
