Canon's best budget prime lens - Canon 40mm f2 8

There was a time when the Canon 50mm f1.8 lens, i.e. the "nifty fifty" was considered Canon's best budget prime lens. Well, times have changed, things have moved on and there is another short focal length prime lens that has stolen the crown. 

Canon's best prime lens now is the 40mm f2.8 lens, and it is a great lens. The build quality is good, the image quality is great and the best bit - it is as cheap as chips! Check out the following video review and see just how good the Canon 40mm f2.8 prime lens for yourself:-

Hubsan X4 mini drone fails and crashes


The Hubsan X4 H107C mini drone is an excellent drone for learners and beginners, and there is one good reason for this. The reason the X4 mini drone is such a good buy for beginners is because it is tough, strong and durable. This little drone can take many crashes and scrapes, and still come out the other end unscathed.

My Hubsan X4 H107C has been crashed and banged around several times, and I have given it some real punishment. My H107C is a bit scratched and scraped but it still works as it should.

To see just how tough this little drone is, take a look at the video above all captured when I was flying my Hubsan X4 mini drone. 

Flying the Hubsan X4 H107 mini drone outside


The Hubsan X4 H107C mini drone is a tiny drone that can be used both indoors and out. Yep, despite it's tiny size Hubsan are confident the H107 mini drone can hold its own outdoors, and I thought I would test this out.

The Hubsan H107 mini drone is a great indoor drone, there are no arguments about that, but what's it like to fly outside? Take a look at the short clip above and see for yourself.
