GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS.

And happy Tuesday. Today marks our first full month of publishing weekly issues of Mosaic, and we just want to thank you all for reading. We’re so excited for next week’s Artist of the Month, for the upcoming additions to the newsletter, and the many, many publishes ahead.

This week’s roundup has got a little bit for everyone; including Nikon’s shutter angle firmware upgrade, a Kickstarter film camera steeped in controversy, a video light that belongs in the MOMA, and an analog clock with a mechanical chime.

There’s a lot to enjoy, so without further ado; dive in, get lost, and enjoy.

2. PULSE CHECK

3. OFF-SCRIPT

4. DO YOU HAVE A…*

PULSE CHECK

Pulse Check is our way of keeping a finger on the heartbeat of the creative industry. Everything from breaking news to announcements that might have slipped under the radar, this curated list will keep you in the know.

• Nikon has added shutter angle to their Z9; is this the first of many video upgrades since the RED acquisition?

• This “new” film camera delivered 6 months after its Kickstarter ended and the response has not been great.

• A beautiful drum machine in a guitar pedal footbox? You don’t need to be a musician to love this thing.

• If Teenage Engineering made a video light, this would be it.

• Canon’s new RF 16-28mm f/2.8 finally adds a lightweight ultra-wide to the RF system; but does the price tag fit the specs?

OFF-SCRIPT

Every now and then, it feels good to get lost down a few rabbit holes. Off-Script is our catch-all for exactly that; a random assortment of objects, products, music, books, tools, and inspiration we’re finding in our day-to-day.

• This new alarm clock is fully analog, fully expensive, and everything we want on our bedside table.

• Our new favorite aftershave will put you back in your barber’s chair every time you use it.

• Timex’s latest collaboration with Worn & Wound is vintage-inspired, relatively affordable, oh so beautiful.

• Season 2 of Severance opens with a bind blowing sequence; here’s the breakdown from Ben Stiller himself.
