24Feb Adding headphone monitoring to the Dirt Cheap $28 monitor project
So if you gave the Dirt Cheap Monitor project a try awhile back, this might be just what you needed. Freyguyproductions wrote in asking “What would you suggest for stronger audio sources?” The first thing that came to mind was a hearing aid amplifier. So I started rummaging around the net and found something even better. The FiiO […]
24Feb Bargain Bin extra’s for your DSLR RIG.
These 3 Items are probably some of the most handy things to have around the house when you’re putting together a DSLR RIG, mounting camera equipment, or adapting your stuff to stuff. The best part is, “all of this could be yours if the price is right”. What is the right price? Well lets work […]
24Feb Canon 35mm f1.4 v.s. Sigma 30mm f1.4 head to head Compairson
I recommend the Sigma 30mm f1.4 quit a bit, but it always seems like when i do, the first response I get is “what about (insert lens here)”. Many people aren’t very comfortable with 3rd party lenses or they feel like Canon is the only brand for them. Most of my lenses are canon, but there […]

19Feb CPM FILM TOOLS DSLR Flyer Kit and Indisystem indiSQUARE review
There are a number of rig manufactures and no lack of options. The trick is to find a good balance between design and price. Products from companies like Cinevate, Redrock Micro, and Zacuto are designed well but are often out of the price range of most low budget film makers. With that in mind here […]
18Feb Adding a battery Grip makes your DSLR RIG easier to use.
Batteries are a very important and over looked part of filming. Not having enough batteries or easy access to them can slow down filming by hours. Pulling your rig apart to get to the battery compartment can also be very frustrating and time consuming. If you plan to film projects lasting a day or more, […]
11Feb Atomos Ninja HDMI ProRes field recorder monitor Released.
To be honest I had almost forgotten about this interesting little product until this morning, when out of the blue I received an e-mail from Atomos letting me know that I still had my place in the pre-order line. Apparently pre orders will start shipping this month. If you haven’t heard of this yet then let me start […]
10Feb Decoded Generic batteries for your 7d, 60d, and 5d mark II. Are they any good?
I’m not sure what it is about film makers, but it always seems like they’re trying to save money. Often the things they want to cut corners on are items that could be really helpful. But every once in awhile something comes along that is actually over priced for no reason at all. In case […]
09Feb Camera Body Cap with a built in lens
Sometimes your camera is packed away in a camera bag with a body cap on it, when out of the blue an airplane dives out of the sky in front of you. If only you had a lens on your camera instead of a body cap. You could have gotten the shot that would have […]
08Feb Okii USB follow focus review
My Okii USB follow focus showed up in the mail on Thursday of last week and I was able to spend the entire weekend messing around with it. The first notable thing about the Okii USB follow focus is the packaging. The unit arrived in a small tin with a nice little see-through cover and […]
