Is it time to film weddings or commercial work in 360? Or are 360/VR cameras just a gimmick? I’ve been wondering this question for a few years now, so I brought along the Insta360 One X to film a wedding.

If you’re looking for a powerful 4K video editing laptop that is still extremely portable, I would highly recommend the Dell XPS 15 9570. I’ve been using this laptop for video editing while traveling for the past 7 months, and it has proven more than capable of editing wedding films and YouTube videos on the go.
In this video I detail the pros and cons of this laptop for video editing, as well as the exact features and specs you should customize it with when purchasing.
For many years, I have used (and loved) my Arri 150 spotlight for lighting wedding receptions, but it does have some limitations. This year, I found the Kinotehnik Practilite 602 LED fresnel spotlight, and it has overcome all of the Arri’s shortcomings, while also adding features that make filming weddings easier. The Practilite 602 isn’t cheap, but I believe that its capabilities make it perfect for wedding filmmakers.
