Godox C100 Review: A Troubled Viewpoint

By

A white Godox device with a screen and control buttons sits against a solid orange background, with a PetaPixel Reviews logo in the corner.

I have a real dislike for most of what I call e-waste cameras on the market, which are those that are capturing the world through the lens of a literal dashcam.

Photographers with expensive gear often insure it against accidents and theft. This 1-minute video shows something else it can protect you from: asinine “pranks” when you’re simply minding your own business.
