Quick heads up for those of you in the market for a 1TB ssd. Newegg currently has the Muskin 1TB ssd on sale for $359 with 99 cent shipping. That puts the Muskin 1TB ssd at the sweet spot of 36 cents a GB. While $359 is still a little pricey, it’s $60 less than it’s nearest […]
09Jan DSLR FILM NOOB Podcast episode 0.7
Another Episode of DSLR FILM NOOB podcast is out. This time Jon joins me from Canada to talk about Panasonic’s latest 4k camcorders, Vimeo 4k video features, the Canon c100 MKII and the new Canon Clone Yongnuo 50mm f1.8 ($56) and 35mm f2 (yet to be released) lenses.

09Jan Very low priced Variable ND filters
Here we have a bunch of low price Tiffen UV filters and when I say low price I mean under $10. They aren’t horrible but they aren’t anything to write home about. These filters are what you buy when you want to protect a lens from scratches, dust, and the rest of the damage a lens can be […]
08Jan Monoprice 2.4Ghz Wireless lav system?
Jordan posted this demonstration of the Monoprice wireless lav system. The $82 price tag is pretty attractive, maybe I should say really attractive. Honestly, that’s extremely well priced. It also supports two way communication over the 2.4Ghz wifi band and sports a pretty decent transmission distance (150 feet). The lav mic didn’t sound that good […]
07Jan The Rode Procaster that didn’t work out
As I move forward with the Podcast initiative, I’ve been upgrading my gear and readying a small spot in the studio for a weekly (possibly bi-weekly show).

07Jan DSLR FILM NOOB Podcast 0.5 and 0.6
Two more DSLR FILM NOOB podcast episodes are out as I continue through the co-host extravaganza. Make sure you continue through the ending of episode 0.6, Richard and I ended up having a lengthy side discussion on the Sony a7s and E-mount lenses in general, it’s pretty good stuff. Also be sure to check out […]
06Jan DSLR FILM NOOB Podcast
There was a lot more interest than I was expecting in the idea of a weekly podcast. Thanks to everyone for all of your e-mails and show ideas! After a lot of conversations I’ve narrowed it down to 8 possible Co-hosts. I’ll be working off of the same show notes with each of them. So far […]
02Jan MSI GS60 Ghost pro 4k Hard drive upgrade
I finally had a chance to sit down and film the M.2 hard drive upgrade on the MSI GS60 editing laptop I picked up. The total tear down and reassembly time was a little less then an hour and I only ended up with one extra screw (no idea where that goes). The most nerve wrecking […]
