Photography 180 | Ep 22 | Hands Free POV Behind the Scenes

In this week's episode, the focus is on content creation and a great way to easily capture better behind the scenes content using an awesome new piece of tech from Ray-Ban.

So we recently came across some great BTS content that was interesting because it was providing an awesome first-person POV. After further research we learned that this content was being created using the new smart glasses from Ray-Ban | Meta. We felt this was something that would instantly add value to the experience that we provide and improve our content creation so we immediately ordered a pair and although we can't say that we've had the smoothest experience with ordering/shipping etc, we finally were able to get our hands on a pair.

Now...having only used these glasses on a few different assignments so far, as well as some personal events, I can say that I feel as though I am only just touching the surface. But in my limited time, I have found these glasses to be extremely helpful in allowing us to tell better stories about what we do. They are easy to use and full of very cool features and specs that I will certainly take more advantage of as I get used to using them more and more.

Here is a brief summary of some of the amazing features/specs of these smart glasses:

* 12MP Camera
Ultra Wide HD Lens
Enhanced Open Ear Audio
Easier Calling & Messaging thanks to Voice Commands
Five-Mic Audio System
Meta AI - Voice-Activated AI
Live Streaming on FB, IG & WhatsApp
Touch Control
Portable Charging Case (Allows Up to 8 Charges)
32GB - 100+ 30 second Videos or 500+ Photos (3 Frame Burst)
Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5.2 *

So...whether it's for personal use or business, I think you should definitely consider checking out a pair for yourself. I am in no way sponsored by Ray-Ban and I get absolutely nothing if you do decide to try out a pair...it's just my personal opinion to give these a shot, especially if you are into new and cool tech gadgets and would love to add a new way to document things happening around you in a more hands-free way.
