This past weekend was the digital/social media industry's biggest event, VidCon in Anaheim, CA. I went to help work with Endemol Beyond but got the opportunity to walk around and acquire some gear for pimping out my iPhone for all my future recording needs!
My favorites include a company called XSories which come from an action sports background and make gear for many of your action sports filming needs. They hooked me up with this dope tshirt along with their Me-Shot Deluxe package. The Me-Shot deluxe package includes and extender pole for iPhone filming along with an iPhone clip attachment AND a remote to wirelessly control your phone and ask it to record. Talk about the ultimate extender arm for shooting your own #selfies or filming yourself, by yourself, but still looking professional and not having that selfie arm. Checkout more of their gear at www.xsories.com.
I also got a great hook up from another action sports affiliated company (do you see a trend here?) called Cam Caddie who makes a variety of affordable camera rigs for both DSLRs and iPhones/iPads. With their help, I can now turn my iPhone into the ultimate recording rig w/ professional lighting, mic, and stabilizing. It comes with all sorts of great attachment pieces to have you rolling on the fly like a pro! The downside is their instructions are pretty whack. I went back to their booth to find out if they had better instructions anywhere to find out that they have online video tutorials (not necessarily my fav, but I'll take it). So be prepared for some setup time! Check them out at www.camcaddie.com.

And how could VidCon be complete without acquiring some makeup gear from my favorite beauty guru, Michelle Phan. Not only is she one of our biggest clients at Endemol Beyond, but she's also a sweetie and loves Apollo (honestly, who couldn't?). L'Oreal recently helped Michelle launch her own line of cosmetics called Em by Michelle Phan. I took home a blush and eyeshadow sample which rock! Their pigments are amazing and they're super long lasting. Two thumbs up on Em! Check out her full line at www.emcosmetics.com.
