I’m really impressed with this little LED light from VIJIM! Honestly I thought it would be a bit of a gimmick and not too useful...

This blog post has been a long time coming. I've watched Pastors at my church stand on stage week in week out and kept thinking I really should review one of those mics. Now the ones they use are custom made but I found this budget one on Amazon and was keen to give it a go. Check out the results...

It’s a common question I see in facebook groups, do I need to show my face on video or will slides and voice over do?
