16May Canon 5d mark III RAW memory card options
Over the 2 year or so i’ve stuck with Transcend 400x 32GB cards for both filmmaking and photography. Even when shooting in burst mode, the cards are fast enough that I don’t run into buffering issues. However, with the introduction of RAW video on the 5d mark III and cameras like the Canon 1D C shooting 4k […]
15May Canon 5d mark III with 1080p Raw video thanks to Magic Lantern
A few days ago the Magic Lantern team announced the breakthrough of RAW video capture using the Canon 5d Mark III. The first announcement only offered the ability to record about 60 frames in DNG format. Although interesting, 2 seconds of shooting time isn’t very practical. A day later they announced a workaround that would […]
13May Canon 5d mark III clean hdmi output testing with difference matte
Here’s the sample clip from yesterdays post. As I mentioned it’s hard to tell the difference between the footage from the Ninja 2 and the Canon 5d mark III. At first glance the footage doesn’t look much different. However the 200% zoom in side by side comparison I posted yesterday doesn’t quite tell the whole […]
12May Canon 5d mark III clean HDMI output compared to ALL-I in camera
I finally had a chance this morning to take a look at the clean hdmi output of the Canon 5d mark III and compare it to the internal codec. At 200% there isn’t really a big difference in image quality. There does seem to be a little bit of color shift in the ninja […]
04May Sanho Hyperthin HDMI cable
In the discussion about HDMI cables awhile back a few of you recommended these Sanho Hyperthin HDMI cables. The cables looked pretty good, so I ordered a few to take with me to portland. At $16 a piece ($14.95 plus shipping), they’re a little more expensive than a few of the other options, but the cable size is definitely worth it. Side by […]
01May Yongnuo YN-622C Wireless ETTL Flash Trigger
I posted about the Yongnuo YN-622c flash transceiver awhile back. It looked like a pretty good option, but I was already using a set of Pixel King E-TTL wireless triggers for flash work. Recently my Pixel King receiver took a nose dive off a light stand taking a second unit with it. The flashes survived but the cold shoe broke off both […]
30Apr Nyrius Aries Prime HDMI wireless transmitter follow up – so far so bad
The Nyrius Aires prime I ordered finally showed up yesterday and I had a short amount of time to play around with it this morning. There is not a lot to describe about the packaging. Basically what you see is what you get. There is a single right angle USB adapter included in the box as well […]
28Apr Canon 5d mark III 1.2.1 firmware overview video
Here’s a quick overview of the leaked Canon firmware update. So far I haven’t had any problems. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to post some color correction tests later on this week. For now this should help you find your way around the convoluted menu. The real firmware is still due for release on the […]
27Apr Canon 5d mark III 1.2.1 firmware HDMI output
I had a chance to test out the Canon 5d mark III 1.2.1 firmware last night and I still haven’t found a setting that allows you to pass audio to the Ninja 2 via HDMI. I’m also still trying to figure out how to trigger the record start/stop on the Ninja via the camera. I’m […]
26Apr 5d mark III 1.2.1 firmware has no audio out via HDMI
Just tested the new Canon 5d mark III firmware with the Atomos Ninja 2. I can confirm that there is no audio output put over HDMI in recorder mode. Very big disappointment. I’ll be driving for the next 4 hours. More info once I get to my destination.
