Chris Tran is a seasoned and accomplished law enforcement officer for a large metropolitan agency in the Pacific Northwest. In addition to photography and videography efforts, Tran writes equipment reviews aimed towards the everyday user with a focus on functionality, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
Chris advises, "I support and will positively review any products that I find to be interesting and of quality as it pertains to normal people like me. I am not a high-speed, super-secret 'operator'. I am a normal civilian like many, if not most. Anything I review will be from an end user's perspective with my background as a cop to supplement my perspective on usability, function, and cost-effectiveness. Bottom line, I won't speak about what I don't know, and if I like or don't like it, I will candidly tell you why.
