25Apr Sony URX-P03D 2 channel UHF wireless transmitter system
I haven’t seen a whole lot of news on the new Sony URX-P03D 2 channel UHF wireless system, maybe that’s because there is no word yet on shipping dates and pricing, or maybe it is because no one can remember the catchy name. Either way, this is an interesting little system. Basically, the Sony URX-P03D is a […]
24Apr Smallrig Sony a7s II $68 cage Review
If you’ve been a DSLR or Mirrorless shooter for any length of time, camera cages are a way of life. Over the years, I’ve wondered between huge bulky 15mm rail setups and shoulder mount rigs, but in the last 5 years or so I’ve settled into a minimalist approach to camera rigs. That’s why Smallrig has […]
22Apr Saramonic UWMIC10 Bodypack Transmitter TX10 for $129
Remember that Saramonic dual channel receiver lav kit I reviewed a few months back? First of all, Saramonic has fixed the channel mixing issue. You can now isolate the two transmitters by sending the signal to the left and right channel of your camera’s input. Which means for $399 you can buy a very decent dual channel […]
20Mar Gear Tie, a nice cable management option
As a filmmaker, you know that cables end up on everything and the more cables you add to your rig the more of a rat’s nest it becomes. You can try to twist cables around the frame or use tie wraps, but maybe there is a better way, which is where Gear Tie comes in. […]
19Mar Feeding two Lav mics into a 3.5mm Audio port on the cheap
There are tons of very expensive audio adapters out there that allow you to mix XLR and 3.5 mm audio sources into your camera, sometimes you just need to feed two lav mics into your camera on the cheap. That’s where the $4.50 Hosa stereo breakout cable comes in handy. After all, most Lav mic kits […]
01Mar Monoprice 2.4GHz Wireless Mic system $49.99
Over a Year ago, I put together the review above of the Monoprice 2.4Ghz Wireless mic system. It isn’t the best wireless system in the world but at the time of the review, it was a decent value for the price. Since then there have been a lot of clones on the market and most […]
28Feb Saramonic Uwmic10 Dual body-pack 2 channel receiver now out
When I reviewed the Saramonic UwMic10 UHF system a few weeks ago, you could only buy a single transmitter and receiver set. This is odd when you consider that the receiver is capable of handling two channels simultaneously. Saramonic has finally picked up production and released a dual transmitter two channel set. At $399 this UHF […]
23Feb Movo SMM2 Zoom H1 shock mount
It has been almost a year since I moved to Portland and in that time, I haven’t had the room or the time to make or sell any of the somewhat infamous “NOOB Zoom H1 shock mounts”. With that in mind, I thought it might be helpful to check out one of the low price […]
16Feb Audio-Technica System 10 – First impressions hands on
I’ve had the Audio-Technica System 10 sitting under my desk for more than a month and I’m finally starting to get some time to try it out. If you aren’t familiar with the System 10, basically it is another of many Wifi (2.4Ghz) based wireless lav systems that has hit the market over the last year or […]
15Feb Saramonic UwMic10 Dual Channel UHF wireless System Review
UHF wireless systems have come a long way regarding price and ability over the last five years. Not long ago, if you wanted a UHF wireless lav system, your two main options were either Sennheiser or Sony, with only a few somewhat suspect alternatives. However, in 2016, there are literally dozens of companies offering wireless lav […]
