Southeast Asian vloggers unite at Singapore through #VlogWithSony event

There are a lot of reasons why these vloggers choose Sony

I can still remember that “blogging” was just another tech-related term that people were not that familiar with when I was a kid. Little did I know, it was really destined to become the next big thing. With the continuous growth of people using the internet, the popularity of blogging made people experiment on it even further — specifically blogging through videos. Thus, the birth of the “vlogging” generation.

A couple of days ago, Sony held an event at the ArtScience Museum in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, which gathered vloggers around Southeast Asia, particularly those from the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.

It wasn’t just about Sony displaying their existing cameras in front of the crowd; they talked more about how creating these imaging solutions (specifically the Alpha, RX, and Handycam lineup) paved the way in helping vloggers capture quality content, and get recognized for the vlogs they have been doing for the past years.

What surprised everyone, however, was the sudden announcement of the Sony RX0 II during the event. After the product announcement, this happened:

There were queries answered by the General Manager himself, including questions about certain devices, plus the lack of ports and features on select devices. He was also asked about choosing his own camera if he were a vlogger himself. He bravely answered that he would choose the Sony A9 as his vlogging companion. It was even said that the reason why Sony focuses on the Southeast Asian market is all because of the steady popularity of vlogs that you can’t find elsewhere — not even in their home country, Japan.

There were also presentations made by some vloggers about how the use of Sony cameras and equipment helped them in making quality content. One talk was presented by beauty vlogger Rei Germar.

More talks happened:

Cutting the story short, these vloggers choose Sony cameras for their performance, portability, usability, and even durability over time. The fact that Sony also listens to its customers is what makes them a reliable imaging brand over anything else.

After all the talks, the event was successfully concluded by Sam Tsui, a globally renowned YouTube superstar with more than three million subscribers. Talking about how this popular brand showcased a lot of popular icons, these vloggers lined up to have a star-studded photo opportunity with him.

At this event, I realized that vlogging isn’t just about taking videos; it also leans more on self-expression. Vlogs may focus on beauty, travel, lifestyle, and fun, to name a few.

Bottom line is these people don’t do vlogs just because they are bored; they do it because it is their passion and they want to express themselves more to those who are watching behind their screens. After all, people are getting more invested in vlogs as another form of entertainment, and at the same time, they serve as helpful information for most people.

Fujifilm Philippines introduces instax Mini Evo Cinema, Mini Link+

It’s time to enter your film+ era and hold onto your favorite moments

The digital scroll is fine, but Fujifilm Philippines is making a strong case for the tangible.

For a weekend, the Open House World in Makati transformed into a nostalgic playground for the “In Our Film+ Era” pop-up.

The mission was simple: proving that memories feel better when you can actually hold them.

The stars of the show were the new instax Mini Evo Cinema and the instax Mini Link+, two gadgets designed for the artsy geek who wants their life to look as good on paper as it does on a Pinterest board.

Retro meets technology

The instax Mini Evo Cinema, priced at PhP 22,599, is a total vibe-shifter. With its 10 Eras Dial effects, you can toggle through a hundred different creative combinations.

Then there is the instax Mini Link+ for PhP 8,999, built for the maximalists who refuse to let their best shots die in the camera roll.

This smartphone printer adds AR effects and custom designs, turning digital snapshots into high-aesthetic physical keepsakes.

As Masahiro Uehara, President of FUJIFILM Philippines, put it, the goal is to reimagine how people connect with their memories by blending innovation with raw emotion.

More than just a photo op

The weekend functioned as a masterclass in creativity rather than just a product demo.

On the first day, filmmaker Elyandre Dagli showed the crowd how the Mini Evo works as a powerhouse for documentation and storytelling.

The energy continued the next day with Nica Cosio, who led a session on rubber stamp carving and journaling. Cosio showed how the Mini Link+ bridges the gap between digital tech and old-school scrapbooking.

Artists like Soleil Ignacio, Bryan Sochayseng, and Jill Arteche also dropped by to share how these tools fit into their professional creative workflows, proving that “instant” doesn’t have to mean disposable.

Ready to enter your Film+ era?

If you missed the pop-up, you haven’t missed the tech. The instax Mini Evo Cinema and instax Mini Link+ are officially hitting authorized FUJIFILM dealers nationwide right now.

It’s time to stop scrolling and start collecting.

For the latest updates, you can follow Team Instax on Facebook and Instagram.

DJI’s Inspire 3 Basic Package make 8K aerial filmmaking more accessible

DJI has officially introduced the Inspire 3 Basic Package, a streamlined kit designed to lower the barrier of entry for professional aerial cinematography.

Since its debut in 2023, the Inspire 3 has established itself as the primary choice for studio film and television productions.

This new package provides a cost-effective path for independent filmmakers to integrate 8K aerial imaging into their workflow or for production houses to scale their existing fleet.

Cinema-grade performance in a portable form factor

The Inspire 3 remains a revolutionary all-in-one drone, built to handle the rigorous demands of high-end sets.

At the core of the package is the Zenmuse X9-8K Air Gimbal Camera, which features dual native ISO and more than 14 stops of dynamic range.

These specifications translate to high-fidelity footage that retains authentic colors and accurate skin tones, even when filming in challenging urban environments or varying lighting conditions.

By utilizing the DJI Cinema Color System (DCCS) and the O3 Pro transmission system, the drone acts as a reliable partner in movement, ensuring that technical performance supports the creative vision without the need for overly complex setups.

Essential tools for modern production

The Basic Package is curated to include the core hardware necessary for professional use while allowing for modular expansion. The kit features:

  • The Inspire 3 Aircraft and Zenmuse X9-8K Air Gimbal Camera
  • Four TB51 Intelligent Batteries to support extended shooting schedules
  • Specialized storage solutions, including the Inspire 3 Trolley Case and Gimbal Camera Case

Filmmakers who require the full ecosystem can still purchase key peripherals separately, such as the RC Plus remote controller, allowing the gear to grow alongside their specific project needs.

Price, availability

The DJI Inspire 3 Basic Package is available starting today through authorized retailers and the official DJI store. The package retails for PhP 615,049.

This release reinforces the philosophy that while technology provides the tools, the focus remains on the life and stories captured through the lens.

Osmo Pocket 4 makes a surprising appearance in public

Is the built-in light real?

Published

February 19, 2026

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 might be the most popular camera in recent history. The tiny action camera constantly sells out, thanks to creators and would-be vloggers. Because of the current generation’s popularity, everyone is looking forward to the next-generation Osmo Pocket 4. Though it’s still unannounced, the new camera has suddenly made a surprising appearance out in the wild.

The leak shockingly comes from an authorized DJI retailer in Kuala Lumpur. Supposedly, a customer entered the store with what they claimed was an Osmo Pocket 4. The store, DronesKaki, even shot a now-deleted video of the unannounced camera, rescued by New Camera.

Based solely on the short video, the Osmo Pocket 4 looks and feels very familiar to those who’ve already used the Pocket 3. The three-axis gimbal system still keeps shots in place for taking videos while on the move. The 2-inch rotating screen looks identical to the current one, especially because of intuitive settings and controls.

However, the biggest standout is the built-in LED light sitting atop the camera. Despite how convenient and easy to use it is, the Pocket 3 doesn’t exactly shine in low-light conditions, prompting users to always bring an external flash. If the leak is true, the Osmo Pocket 4 cures this issue to some extent. (Built-in flashes aren’t usually standout solutions, but they can work in a pinch.)

Still, take the leak with a grain of salt. Though the store could have deleted the video because of a request from DJI, they could have also deleted it because it’s not the Osmo Pocket 4. At this point, we won’t know, but current rumors speculate that the camera is launching soon.
