2. Editorial Content and No-Warranty Disclaimer

ShotRigs publishes reviews, comparisons, buying guides, and opinion pieces relating to photography and video gear, including cameras, lenses, tripods, lighting, drones, microphones, and related accessories. All content reflects the honest views, testing methodology, and experience of our editorial team at the time of publication.

However, gear performance can vary based on firmware updates, manufacturing batches, individual use cases, and personal preference. We make no warranties or guarantees, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or suitability of any review, rating, recommendation, or comparison published on this Site for your specific needs. All content is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranty of any kind.

You acknowledge that any purchasing decision you make based on content found on ShotRigs is made at your own discretion and risk. We strongly encourage readers to conduct their own additional research, read multiple sources, and, where possible, test equipment personally before making a purchase.

3. Affiliate Relationship Disclosure

This site participates in the AliExpress affiliate programme. We earn a small commission on qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial ratings or recommendations.

Affiliate links may be present throughout our reviews, buying guides, and comparison articles. These links help fund the operation of ShotRigs, including equipment testing and content production, but they never determine which products we choose to review or how we rate them. Our editorial team maintains full independence over testing methodology, scoring, and final recommendations.
