Cameras, Microphones and other audio/video equipment circa 2022
My original plan when I started this website was to also start doing camera reviews, but there is only so much time in a day. I ended up focusing more on sporting optics. I still follow what is happening in the camera world for professional reasons, so I’ll be happy to offer some suggestions on a case-by-case basis if you want.
Shield RMS deal on Brownells
I was looking for something on Brownells and accidentally stumbled on Shield RMS with 4MOA dot for under $300. This is the exact red dot sight I have been using for several years and I have never seen it this low. My best guess is that they are clearing out their inventory as RMS 2.0 gets there. RMS 2.0 is a better sight, it seems (I have one of those as well), but for under $300 a UK-made RMS is mighty tempting.
