21Apr Joby Gorilla pod Focus
I’ve had the Gorilla pod Focus for over a year. When I first started looking at gorilla pods, I was considering one of the smaller models like the Gorilla pod SLR, but after looking at the weight ratings I decided to go with the 5kg model (11 pounds). It’s easy to think that the 3kg […]
18Apr SmallHD DP4 4 inch monitor.
SmallHD makes some great monitors, but their flagship model the DP6 is well over $900. So unless you do a lot of paid work, or have money to burn, the DP6 might be a little out of your price range. It seems SmallHD had this in mind when they announced the DP4. The SmallHD DP4 […]
15Apr Configuring your DSLR Rig.

30Mar Leather Hand Strap, how I love you.
One of you out there was really pushing hard for me to try one of these Leather DSLR hand straps. I was honestly skeptical about switching from a neck strap to a hand strap, but now I’m sold. Maybe “love” is to strong of a word but I would definitely use “like, like”. When the Leather […]
18Mar Haier 7″ HLT71 LCD monitor out in the wild.
George Marsh picked up the Haier 7″ HLT71 LCD monitor and was kind enough to send in a couple of pictures of the Haier monitor in action. He has the monitor mounted on top of his Canon 5d Mark II with a Juicedlink DIY107 bracket. The Haier monitor is mounted to one of those Very […]
