This time it’s just David and Daniel as Alex takes a well-earned break.

We chat over Daniels’s visit to Samsung Unpacked and check out the Flip 6, Fold 6, Samsung Watch Ultra and Samsung Ring.

David went to Apple Battersea in London to check out the Vision Pro and hear what he made of it.

Plus, all the behind-the-scenes chat about what it’s like running a YouTube channel.

This one started with some camera gear chat - what gear we use, future plans, ND filters, and even a little chat about Final Cut.

Then we started to get into YouTube and there was a lot to cover. How to balance the admin and office side of running a channel, working with agencies, paid clicks and the new Skip Ahead feature that YouTube is rolling out that may ruin our channels.
