13Feb Samson Airline Micro Tested with the Rode Videomic
The audio I recorded during the Samson Airline Micro test seemed to add a little bit of bass making the audio sound a little bit muddy. The system also seemed to have a slight audio hiss to it when I was testing. Neither of these things were bad enough to be a deal breaker, but I […]
12Feb Juicedlink DIY107B and AT8469 mounting bracket
I haven’t spent much time commenting on Juicedlink’s DIY series of brackets and mounts. This is mostly because of the pricing. $36 for a flat peace of aluminum with holes and another $14 for the AT8469 cold shoe mount seems a little pricey. So here are a few options to reduce the price or make your […]
11Feb Samson Airline Micro wireless UHF system – Full video Review
It’s been a few months since I’ve actually had time to shoot a proper video review. Thankfully my workload has finally slowed down and I can get back to my regular video schedule. I was so intrigued by the Samson Airline Micro, that I locked myself in the basement with it for a few days […]
10Feb Samson Airline Micro UHF wireless system – first impression
I’ve come to the point where I need a few extra UHF wireless microphones systems around. The Sennhieser G2 wireless system I use right now works great and most of the time the two sets I use are plenty, but lately I’ve run into situations where it would be nice to have one or 2 […]
10Feb Letus Talon DSLR 7D 5D Cage – Review
If you can remember back in the late 90’s when standard definition DV cameras like the Canon GL1 where all the rage, then the name Letus should be familiar to you. They were responsible for making some of the early 35mm lens adapters for DV cameras that didn’t require you to position your camera upside down. It seems […]
23Oct Printing a DSLR rig A frame handle.
I was working on a shoot last week and accidentally knocked over one my DSLR rigs. Thankfully the Cube Cage completely protected the camera, but the frame of the rig hit just right and busted off a small chunk from one of the handle mounts. I was thinking about ordering another one from CPM, or […]
19Oct Lockport 7 & Lockport 5 HDMI port protector, HDMI lock
Sure you could spend $125 on the Zacuto HDMI cable lock, but for $25 less Lockport actually includes an HDMI brake out right angle adapter. Right now the Lockport 5 is designed for the Canon 5d mark II and the Lockport 7 is designed for the Canon 7d, but it looks like they’re also working […]
13Oct Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS, the lens I’ve been dreaming about.
The Canon 70-200mm f2.8 II is a lens I’ve always wanted to own. If you have a crop sensor camera like the Canon 7d then the 70-200mm ends up being a 112-320mm equivalent. I’ve had more then one chance to play around with it, and a few times I’ve actually been able to take it […]
