22May Flashpoint LCD 8″ Monitor with built in Remote shutter trigger
(Special thanks to Yiannis for pointing this out to me) The Flashpoint LCD 8 inch monitor is an interesting concept. You basically get an 8 inch hdmi monitor that doubles as a remote shutter trigger and wireless standard definition monitor for $499. An 8 inch monitor is right at the limit of what you’d want to […]
15May H005 Real Pic 5.6 inch 1280×800 hdmi monitor
LCD monitors have really started to advance over the last couple of years. Manufactures have been able to cram more and more pixels into smaller and smaller areas. It was only a matter of time before someone caught up with the pixel count of smallhd’s DP6. At less then a quarter of the price ($220 […]
29Apr Magic Lantern firmware in the works for the Canon 5d mark III
With the resent release of Canon’s 5d mark III firmware update, the Magic Lantern Team is now able to start work on a firmware hack. But what do you add to a camera that has most of the video features we’ve come to expect? Here’s my wish list. Clean 1080p hdmi output Focus peaking Histogram in […]
27Apr Sandisk SDXC 64GB Class 10 Card for $48.95!
I already drop my cash on the Pretec SDXC 64GB cards but if you didn’t pull the trigger, B&H is having a hell of a good sale on the Sandisk 64GB SDXC cards. You can check out my earlier test results on the smaller capacity Sandisk Class 10 cards here, although the Sandisk was a little […]
25Apr Roland R-26 6-Channel Digital Field Audio Recorder
If you don’t think 2 tracks on the Zoom h1 or Tascam DR-05 is enough and the 4 tracks of audio on the Zoom h4n and Tascam Dr-40 don’t do the trick, Roland has released the R-26 6 track recorder. It’s the same basic concept as the h4n and Dr-40 but with an interesting twist. […]
20Apr Varavon Armor Mini Rig System for the Canon 5D Mark II
The Varavon Armor is an interesting take on the whole cage concept. It doesn’t really protect the entire camera like some other cages out there. Instead it adds extra mounting points on the frame along with a forward facing mounting bracket above the lens for a microphone adapter. It also has some oddly placed handle […]
14Apr Chipped lens adapter problems with the 5d mark III
Using older manual focus lenses for filming is a very common practice among DSLR film makers, and a chipped lens adapters on the Canon 5d mark II (or any DSLR for that matter) is a good way to save some money on lenses and provide focus confirmation with these older manual focus lenses. Above is the Tokina 500mm […]
13Apr Transcend 400x 32GB CF Card speed test.
As with all my other speed tests I’ve done, for this set of tests I’ve used the H2testw 1.4 flash drive testing program. A few of you have asked why I choose to use this program and the main reason is that it writes a series of 1gb files to the card until the card is […]
12Apr Transcend Premium 400x 32GB compact flash cards.
Although I’ve been very happy with the performance of the PRETEC SDXC 64GB cards I’ve been using, the toughness of a CF card still wins compared to the thinner lighter weight SD cards. Plus the combination of a 32GB CF card and a 64GB SDXC card in the camera gives me close to 90GB of footage before […]
11Apr Letus Talon 1DmkIV cage with the Canon t2i fully loaded
Even though this Letus Talon Cage was designed for the Canon 1D Mark IV, it does a very good job of protecting the fragile plastic body of the Canon T2i and it’s battery grip. The reason I point this out, is that Letus Currently has this Cage on Sale for $250. At $499 the cage […]
