VLOG MONITOR
Why use the Xperia 1 IV's front camera for vlogging when Sony loads up three way better cameras round the back? Hook up the Vlog Monitor to unlock the best quality possible as you frame up your shots with its 3.5in HD screen. And thanks to a cold shoe mount and mic input, you can also boost the audio for upgraded quality all round.

TWO
DJI OM 5
DJI's fine-looking gimbal keeps your footage steady in style. With a removable magnetic clamp, it won't hold your Xperia hostage, letting you switch between incredibly smooth video and handheld photography with ease. Active Track 4.0 makes everything smarter as the OM 5 follows your subject, and this gimbal even doubles as an extending selfie-stick.

THREE
SONY WH-1000XM5
You'll want headphones that can keep up with the Xperia 1IV's world-class sound quality, and that means Sony's own XM5s. Matching refined design with hi-res audio and LDAC support, they're also great for active noise-cancelling; and as they last up to 30hrs on a charge, you'll virtually never need to switch off your own private soundtrack.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess - It's really not what you expect from a major publisher these days, but Capcom's curious blend of action, real-time strategy and tower defence is one of the most original games you'll play all year
It's really not what you expect from a major publisher these days, but Capcom's curious blend of action, real-time strategy and tower defence is one of the most original games you'll play all year.From its colourful costumes to a pastoral message of healing nature, Kunitsu-Gami is proudly Japanese in its inspirations. Your masked warrior is on a mission to help a divine maiden purge a mountain of an evil 'defilement'... but this is no Link/Zelda dynamic: you'll also rely on villagers to help you beat back monsters.
