24May Powergen and Anker USB battery packs
I’ve started using the Jangus Wireless wii units on a couple of projects with very positive results, but the last shoot I was on lasted over 9 hours which was more time then the built in battery on the transmitter could handle. I had two of these stereo transmitters with me so it wasn’t a […]
17May ASUS Zenbook 13.3 Inch Ultrabook
I have a very nice editing laptop that I travel with, but sometimes you want something that you have absolutely no real need for and this is one of them. The Asus Zenbook 13.3 inch ultrabook has a beautiful screen, the keyboard responds smoothly and the track pad is nice and large. I’m sure the Best Buy […]
04Apr DIY wireless audio: turning the Audio2000s into a wireless 2 channel portable audio system
I received an E-mail a few weeks ago from Shabazzr. He was wondering if I knew of any way to make the Audio2000s 6032uf UHF dual channel wireless system 100% battery powered. The wireless transmitters already run on batteries so I really just needed to find the spec’s for the receiver and a low price battery that would meet […]
02Mar More info on the Canon 5d Mark III
If you’re still on the hunt for more pictures and info on the 5d mark III release, Kai from Digitalrev was one of the lucky one’s who attended the press event in Hong Kong. Digitalrev was able to film a short hands on video comparing the Mark II and Mark III. The ISO performance of the […]
09Aug Canon LP-E8 generic battery road test.
I finally had a chance to give some of these Generic LP-E8 batteries a proper road test. Two full days of filming with over 100 GB of footage and they kept up better then I expected. I ended up averaging about 2 to 2 1/2 hours of filming with two batteries in my Zeikos battery […]
02Aug Keeping things organized with zipper bags.
Here we have 3 generic battery chargers each for a different type of battery, and basically they all look about the same. Sure if you look closely there is a small label in the center telling you what battery type is supported, but it still gets kind of confusing. When you have multiple cameras and several battery types […]
05Jul Decoded LP-E8 batteries for your Canon T2i.
I’ve been using cheap generic LP-E8 batteries with my Canon T2i for awhile and they seem to work well enough, but the battery indicator on the camera doesn’t work quit right. When you plug a battery into the camera it gives you an indication of 3/4 full, then sometimes drops to blinking red or worse […]
22Apr Adding a larger battery to the 7″ Haier monitor
I’ve received a number of e-mails asking about larger battery solutions for the Haier 7″ monitor. The short (less then 2 hours) battery life just doesn’t seem to cut it for a lot of people. You could spend $25 on a direct from Haier 2200 mAh battery (if you can find one), but that would […]
04Mar Zeikos T2i Battery Grip.
I’ve always enjoyed my Zeikos battery grip for the Canon 7d, so I went back to them for my Canon t2i Battery Grip. The price is a little bit higher then some of the other brands but it’s still quit a bit lower then the Canon brand battery grip. The buttons feel very nice and […]
