Test / Review – Putting Kit Through Its Paces

I’ve been involved in testing photographic and outdoor equipment for a very long time – the write-ups for which have always been published exclusively here on The Active Photographer. In fact, along with the podcast, Test/Review features were one of the founding elements of the site.

The formula has always remained the same – products are sent to me for my honest, unbiased opinions. My thoughts are then shared at such a time when I feel those items have been given fair and realistic real-world usage. Depending on the kit involved, the timeframe for this changes; sometimes the write-ups come after a short while, others require a more long-term approach.

I have one simple premise when considering items – would I realistically use it in the course of my activities and so does it therefore fit within the underlying nature of The Active Photographer.

In the interests of full disclosure, I make it clear that I am never paid for my Test/Review activities – although I do typically get to keep the products featured.

Please follow the drop-down menu at the top of the page to find the items of kit you’re looking for.
