NAB 2026 is in the bag, and the consensus from the "Old Guys" is... meh. Michael Samstag and Dave McCauley break down why the endless spec-sheet wars have hit a plateau. The most significant news from Vegas wasn't a camera launch, but the fallout from ‪@geraldundone‬ Gerald changing his content strategy and "retiring" from the exhaustive technical reviews that established his brand. We’re diving deep into the GoPro Scandal following the announcement of the Mission 1 Pro ILS.

We break down why ‪@TonyAndChelsea‬ is calling this interchangeable lens system a "punt" and a "scam" designed to distract from the company laying off 23% of its staff. From the technical absurdity of a manual-focus-only action camera to the "vaporware" nature of the 8K and 50MP claims, we discuss why this "sinking ship" is relying on marketing over real engineering. Finally, we have a "Knee Time" update.

Michael discusses his upcoming Knee Time Mini Series detailing his total knee replacement—a cautionary tale for younger operators about the physical toll of decades on your feet in production. If your tech doesn't last 10 years, it wasn't a smart purchase.
