We’re happy to announce that we are hosting a Beastgrip/RØDE Microphone Giveaway! Two lucky winners will be receiving a free Beastgrip Pro + Extreme Wide Angle lens, a RØDE VideoMicro and an SC7 TRS to TRRS cable, courtesy of RØDE Microphones, for our new custom tripods and RØDE products launch at the end of the giveaway… and to celebrate the last month before submissions close for the My RØDE Reel Short Film Contest!

The Tangerine Dreams Short Film Contest is going BIG this year, with over $25,000 in prizes from Sennheiser, Zeiss, Movi, iBlazr and, you guessed it, Beastgrip.

Shortly after the release of the skateboarding short film MALTO, we talked with Ghost Digital Cinema's Ty Evans about his experience shooting the film on a smartphone, one of the hardest challenges that he has had to overcome as a filmmaker and more!

In the spirit of MoJo Con in Ireland coming up next week, we decided to show you some pictures and gear examples for getting the best out of your iPhone as a MOJO, or mobile journalist.

New production company Ghost Digital Cinema just released a heartwarming short film about pro skateboarder Sean Malto on his difficult road to recovery from a devastating ankle injury.

We’re proud to announce that Beastgrip is teaming up with Kenko Tokina Co., Ltd. to be our official distributor in Japan! In addition, we are developing extremely high quality lenses with their expertise that we believe will be the best in the world for phoneography

Filip is a full-time videographer for Swedish action sports clothing and gear webstore Ride Store. He has a healthy catalog of videos already under his belt and a long and prosperous career ahead of him. His Instagram is a skateboard lover's dream - I find myself scrolling endlessly for hours, replaying all of the jaw-dropping tricks. A word of caution, before watching them: watching his videos may cause you to quit your job and travel the world shooting films and skateboarding.

There has been a massive buzz around this video since it was released on Vevo on March 10, and it is well-deserved. Not only is this Olivia Wilde's debut as a director, and a monumental moment for phoneography, but it's most importantly a beautiful portrayal of the artistry of Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zero's song No Love Like Yours

It was a pleasant surprise to come across the Instagram teaser from videoographer Filip Sjövall, featuring skaters Edvin Marsh, Jakob Stein, and Noam Or. It's a beautifully shot video showing these talented skaters doing what they do best in the streets of Spain.

Nico Piro is one of the most influential journalists of our generation. As one of our 1,752 backers on Kickstarter, and an avid supporter of phoneography, we’re pleased to share his thoughts on smartphone videography/photography, journalism and the crisis going on in Dunkirk, France.

During a brief interview over the phone, Matthew A. Cherry shared his secrets on becoming a filmmaker, his advice to new filmmakers, and his experience shooting a feature film on the Beastgrip Pro.
