Creator Setup

The tools behind the reviews. Digital and analog gear used to create content at Hiro Equipment. No glamour shots, no fancy setups. Just the working tools that capture, build, and document. Every review starts here, in the space where gear meets judgment. Simple tools, sharp results.

Core Principle

Document, don't dramatize
Build first, write second
Clean process, honest results
The gear that builds the platform
