I’m a professional photographer and the Manfrotto One is the greatest tripod I’ve ever used

Manfrotto One hybrid tripod: two-minute review As soon as you pull the Manfrotto One out of its box, you can tell this is a tripod unlike any other. I’ve used many professional tripods over the years, such as the 3 Legged Thing Punks Brian 2.0 and Gitzo tripod Traveler series 1 , but this feels less like a support for your camera gear and more like the center point of an entire system. An extension of the photo kit itself. If you plan to use the Manfrotto One to its maximum advantage, then you’re likely a serious content creator, working professionally and on demanding assignments. And for such people, everything about the legs is geared towards ultimate stability. The weight alone will reveal it isn’t made with an entry-level mirrorless camera in mind, rather professional camera bodies and motion-centric gear, amongst the best full-frame cameras and best cameras for video in 2025. I used a range of models with the tripod, from an older pro-level mirrorless setup, via a Leica...

Creatio CRM Review 2025

-
Image
Creatio is a comprehensive CRM platform that aims to streamline sales, marketing, and service processes for businesses of all sizes. I found its no-code approach to workflow automation and customization really interesting. The platform is divided into three main modules — Sales, Marketing, and Service — each offering a robust set of features. From lead management and opportunity tracking to multichannel marketing campaigns to customer support ticketing, Creatio covers a wide range of CRM functionalities. However, this breadth of capabilities comes at a price, both in terms of cost and complexity. Its extensive customization options, while beneficial, can be overwhelming for those seeking a more straightforward CRM. But if you like the idea of building your own no-code CRM by rigorously customizing different aspects of the application, all without resorting to actual coding, this might be a great option. Creatio CRM core capabilities As a CRM, Creatio allows users to create deta...

I tested the Thinkware U3000 Pro Dash Cam and it has heaps of potential — but it's outshone by affordable rivals

Thinkware U3000 Pro: two-minute review Thinkware has recently introduced the U3000 Pro Dash Cam as a beefier edition of its existing U3000 model. The company is already well-known for producing some of the best dash cams out there, but this model takes things a step further with Connected Service support. Anyone wanting the ability to monitor their vehicle remotely will find that’s now possible with the Thinkware U3000 Pro, with an optional LTE module that will be sold separately. Another bonus with the Thinkware U3000 Pro, much like the excellent 70mai 4K T800 , is that it's able to work in a three channel setup. That means it can be configured to shoot forward-facing video, capture video out of the rear window and also enjoy an infrared view of the cabin area too. That said, if the LTE module is being used, Thinkware states that the cabin cam component cannot be engaged at the same time. Nevertheless, the latter is a handy option for anyone who needs to keep an eye on occupan...

Fairphone's newest eco-friendly headphones have a feature I wish Bose or Sony would use – and the sound's good too

Fairphone Fairbuds XL (2025): Two-minute review Two and a half years after eco-friendly tech champions Fairphone released its first pair of headphones, the company is back to release… the same pair but better. Sort-of. The new Fairbuds XL 2025 aren’t a 2.0 model of the original cans, but an updated model with a few nice changes, and a maintained feature that the best headphones should’ve copied years ago. Fairphone is primarily a smartphone maker, with the Fairphone 6 from mid-2025 being its latest release, and its green credentials come in two forms. Firstly, its gadgets are generally made from recycled or ethically-sourced materials, and secondly they’re designed to last so you won’t be throwing them away and contributing to e-waste. The original Fairbuds already ticked those boxes pretty well, but the XL 2025 add in more recycled elements and a longer warranty. It’s a nice bonus on cans you already feel good wearing. They also build on one of the big perks of the originals in...

The Honor Magic 8 Lite has the best battery life of any phone I've ever tested, but it's not a total home run

Honor Magic 8 Lite review: Two-minute review With the Honor Magic 8 Lite, the battery is undoubtedly the star of the show. It has the same massive 7,500 mAh capacity as the Oppo Find X9 Pro , but when combined with its lower-end energy-efficient chip, it lasts even longer. I'm not exaggerating when I say that four days on a single charge is quite easy to achieve with this phone. The Magic 8 Lite's construction has been significantly upgraded this year, too. It now carries the highest possible IP rating, so dust and water will pose no threat, while a shock-resistant frame and reinforced tempered glass should keep it fairly safe from drops. The phone's display is another highlight, and it ticks all the most important boxes. It's bright, has a speedy 120Hz refresh rate, supports PWM dimming, and has slim symmetrical bezels all the way around. (Image credit: Future) Unfortunately, the Magic 8 Lite's performance isn't quite so impressive. You'll see ...
