iPhone 17 shooting TRUE Apple Log 2.

No LUT app, no third-party nonsense.

Just the Insta360 SSD unlocking native Log straight out of camera. 🎬

CPL on a SmallRig clip-on kit for that extra contrast.
Log → Graded, clip by clip.

This phone is unreal for content now.

It’s about time I tried it!

Here’s a little set from our mountain run with the GT3 Tourings with Luca and Robert Bartucca

The biggest update DJI has made to the mobile gimbal lineup.

The FrameTap remote is the one. Detachable, live screen, joystick control, 10 metres range. Set the shot and step away. Solo shooting just got a lot easier.

ActiveTrack runs off the AI module, not your phone. Stays locked. Keeps your phone cool on long shoots.

Low angle mode. 360 pan. 215mm extension rod. 10 hour battery. Charges your phone while it runs.

386 grams. Folds flat. Works through your native camera app.

Too often, tyres are the last modification people think about. They should be the first.

Everything else on the car depends on what’s connecting it to the road. We put the
Continental MC7 on the Golf R and it changed how the whole car felt.
And once you feel the difference, it’s hard to go back.

It’s all go go go!

Finished up week 3 at The Box.

Honestly it has gone faster than I expected. We have been heads down every single day. Building, figuring it out, making mistakes, fixing them.

The kind of weeks where you go home exhausted and wake up wanting to get back in there.

This space is turning into something really special. What started as an empty warehouse is starting to feel like the thing we always imagined it could be.

Car storage, a content studio, a members lounge, a proper home for people who love cars the way we do.

Pat and I have been building this together and I genuinely could not be doing it without him. This is bigger than either of us could pull off alone and that is exactly why it is going to work.

The first YouTube video is live now. Full walkthrough of the space, the honest story behind how we got here, and a look at where this is all going.

Link in bio. Go watch it. Let us know what you think in the comments! We are genuinely building this for the community so your input actually matters.

I moved to Australia from New Zealand a few years ago with $500 and no plan. Just cameras, a love of cars, and a feeling that something was possible here if I worked hard enough at it.

I’m not a developer. Not a businessman. The opposite actually, an ex tradie who’s on a mission the live the dream

And somewhere along the way I fell in love with the idea of a space where the cars are the culture. A content studio. A members lounge. Somewhere you can bring your car and actually shoot it properly.

I grew up watching Tokyo Drift wanting a place like this to exist.

So between me, Benzina Stables and Pat we are doing just that.

A Sister site to Benzina. Same DNA, different personality.

Follow to join the journey and let us know what we should do with all this space!

Storage enquiries open now for both the south east and Preston Storage

Insta360 just entered the audio game. And they didn’t come quietly. 🎙️

Three microphones in one transmitter.
AI noise cancellation.
32-bit float recording with 32GB internal storage.
400 metre wireless range.
10 hour battery.
Customisable E-Ink display.

This is the Insta360 Mic Pro, and it’s a proper contender. All audio including on the bike and the voice overs were done with the Mic Pros
