We shoot for a living.
So we test like it.
The Kit Room is run by Caw Caw Films, a UK video production company making ads, commercials and music videos for businesses and artists.
Who’s behind it
I’m Julian Snare, actor, filmmaker and founder of Caw Caw Films. [Two or three sentences in your own words: how you got into filmmaking, what you shoot, what kit you rely on.]
How we test
On real shoots
Every product goes out on actual work: client shoots, music videos, walk-and-talk vlogs, night scenes. We don’t review from a spec sheet or a press release.
The same tests every time
For cameras we check image quality in daylight and low light, stabilisation walking and running, built-in audio indoors and in wind, real battery life and heat. For audio, lighting and gimbals we use matching checklists, so scores are fair across brands.
We show the footage
Where we can, we publish our own test clips so you can judge for yourself.
Three verdicts
How the site is funded
We earn commission through some links on this site. It costs you nothing and never changes a verdict. Read the full details.
