12Jul The dirt cheap monitor died. Meet its replacement, the Sony CLM v55.
I’ve been using that little dirt cheap monitor for a number of months,but it finally took a fall from 10 feet and abruptly decided to stopped working. The size has made it one of the most used monitors in my collection. Manly because it easily fits in my camera bag and runs all day on […]
13Jun New CPM FILM TOOLS Rigs.
CPM FILM TOOLS has a new line of rigs out with a military slant. The new carbon fiber rigs are molded in a special olive green plastic giving them a unique gorilla filmmaker look. The flat black on CPM’s other camera systems look great but it’s always nice to have a few color options. The rig pictured […]
11Jun 3 Legged adjustable camera support rig – First impressions
I finally made it home around midnight last night and the first thing to greet me (besides the dogs) was a large stack of boxes. This morning I dug through them to find the 3 legged camera rig I ordered a few weeks ago. There isn’t a lot of padding in the box and there […]
25May PTP Camera controller for your DSLR.
I was trying to hunt down CHDK info on the Canon 7d when I came across this strange looking device. Basically it’s an all in one camera controller that can be run from a 9 volt battery. When I say “all in one” I mean this thing can actually control video and photography on just about […]
16May Juicedlink DS214 full Review.
I spent most of my Sunday testing and playing with the Juicedlink DS214, I ran a few test on my Canon 7d and on my Canon t2i with the Magic lantern firmware update. As a small audio amplifier and a device that disables AGC on the 7d it works great. The gain is very clean […]
15May Juicedlink DS214 adapter and Zoom h1 shock mount.
Finished up the Black versions of both the Juicedlink DS214 adapter and the Zoom H1 shock mount adapter, both of which turned out great. I added a cold shoe mount on both the top and bottom of the Juicedlink adapter, and cleaned up the design on the shock mount to include tie wrap holes across […]
13May ART USB Dual Pre 2 Channel Preamp arrived
The Art USB dual channel Preamp showed up this afternoon. Before I even had a chance to test it out, I took it apart to see how hard it would be to add a mount to this little guy. After removing the knobs, rubber side pads, and a few screws you can see that there […]
06May Low price editing computer.
People always ask if there are any cheap options for upgrading their editing computer. DSLR footage does take a beefy machine to edit, but can you get away with lower end parts and still have a pleasant editing experience? Honestly, I went from a computer that couldn’t handle DSLR footage to a computer that handles it beautifully. […]
27Apr 35mod wireless DSLR video trigger review
The DSLR video trigger is a flexible fiber optic attachment for your Canon RC-5 and RC-6 remote. Basically it allows you to position your remote control in a convenient location and aim the signal from the remote back at your camera’s IR sensor. The intent is to use this as a handle mount start/stop control for your DSLR […]
23Apr CPM FILM TOOLS DSLR Aviator Cage Review
Before I dive into this review, if you haven’t noticed I mispronounced Aviator through out the video. I left the “i” out in my notes and I didn’t notice the mistake until I finished. I didn’t have the time to go back and correct it, so there you have it. The CPM FILM TOOLS DSLR […]
