22Apr Tascam DR-60D review Video
I could spend some time writing a long description of the Tascam DR-60D, but I think I’ve covered it pretty well in this review. So I’ll just break it down into pros and cons. Pro: Lower price than Beachtek or Juicedlink with more features 4 tracks of audio recording Large knobs with an easy to […]
22Apr Nyrius Aries pro wireless HDMI transmitter for the 5d mark III
Last year I put up a post about the Paralinx Arrow hdmi wireless transmitter. While it’s dropped in price to $895, it’s still a very costly purchase for low budget applications. The creator of the Paralinx Arrow used to work for one of the companies that created some of the lower priced HDMI wireless transmitters and I think they’ve […]
18Apr Canon 5d mark III firmware release date announced
Canon’s posted a little note on the 5d mark III page in the right hand column stating that the 5d mark III clean HDMI firmware update will be released April 30th. They’re really waiting until the last minute on their “sometime in April” deadline. I think I’ll be picking up a Atomos Ninja 2 sometime […]
16Apr Atomos Samurai Blade is a great looking monitor
The original Atomos Ninja was one of the first reasonably priced portable HDMI video capture devices on the market. Some would also call it a field monitor, though the original 800×480 resolution screen left a bit to be desired. With the addition of the Samurai Blade to Atomos’s lineup you finally get a beautiful looking 1280×720 resolution […]
11Apr Canon 5d mark III HDMI firmware upgrade in the wild
I was hanging out at the Atomos Ninja booth checking out their new (and beautiful) Samurai Blade when I noticed a 5d mark III on display. I started playing around with the settings and suddenly I had a clean 1080p output. I grabbed one of the Atomos reps and he confirmed that this 5d mark III on […]
23Mar Used Gear Watch: Canon LC-E6 Charger for LP-E6 batteries
Canon charges a pretty penny for their battery chargers. A genuine Canon LC-E6 charger will set you back around $53, but sometimes if you keep an eye out you can find them used on Ebay for a lot less. As long as it works does it matter if it’s a used charger? Right now there […]
21Mar New Canon 6d for just $1650 on ebay
At the original price tag of $2099, the Canon 6d seems overpriced. However, as I mentioned in my review at $1650 it’s right in the sweet spot, fitting in about halfway between the Canon 7d and 5d mark III. The auto focus system might not be as good as the 5d mark III or 7d […]

14Mar Wireless boom mic transmitter under $200
This is just a quick test of the Wi Audiolink from Jangus digital. I’ve been using this little stereo transmitter for scratch audio and monitoring for quit sometime, but I never took the time to test it out with a the iRig pre or Rode VideoMic Pro. Turns out it could be perfect for a […]
