17Mar Beachtek DXA-SLR – First impressions
I own a lot of Juicedlink audio boxes, but I like the large volume knobs of the Beachtek DXA-SLR so I thought I’d give it a try and see how well it preforms. If you keep an eye out this unit pops up used for between $150 and $300 now and again. The Beachtek DXA-SLR […]
10Mar Yet another USB Follow focus controller
I’ve slowly warmed up to the Okii USB follow focus as a remote camera controller though the follow focus function still isn’t amazing. When I purchased mine the Okii was $300, now it looks like the price is $400, but at least now it has labels on all of the buttons. Another option is the clunky square shaped Light Craft Helmsmen USB […]
04Mar Jangus Stereo Wireless Wi Zoom h4n prototype mounting adapter
I’ve been working on a practical setup that combines the Zoom h4n with the Jangus Stereo Wireless adapter. This would allow you to mount your Zoom h4n to the base of your boom pole, monitor your audio, and send a stereo audio back to the camera. This would mean no cables and no syncing issues, […]
20Feb Jangus Wi Stereo wireless DSLR Adapter
I’ve been playing around with the Jangus Wi Stereo wireless adapter and so far it’s really managed to impress me. It delivers clean stereo audio from my Zoom h4n at 60 feet with very low latency. I still need to do more testing and get some exact measurements, but in the 3 video tests I’ve shot so far, […]
18Feb Jangus Music Wi Stereo wireless system – First impression
The Jangus Music Wi JMWAL35 showed up in the mail yesterday and it looks extremely interesting. Basically this is a stereo wireless transmitter that operates on a 2.4GHz frequency. You might recognize that frequency from your wireless router or cordless phone laying around the house as it belongs to the 802.11 IEEE standard. In fact the Jangus website […]
17Feb Rode VideoMic Pro Video Review
Although the audio tests don’t show any real difference in audio quality, the higher price of the VideoMic pro gives you a much smaller and lighter package. The new design has a better suspension system and the +20db switch gives you a much stronger audio single for cameras with poor or noise amplifiers. If you […]
15Feb Dirt Cheap Monitor Project – Video build
Youtube member MAREKDT sent me a video of his take on the Dirt Cheap monitor project. I like the fact that he saved the little threaded bracket, I got a little to carried away with the dermal when I built mine and there wasn’t much left of the holes. The black electrical tape is also […]
14Feb Rode VideoMic Pro – First impression
The Rode VideoMic has been a very popular compact camera mounted shotgun mic for quit a while, mine has lasted me more then 6 years with nothing more then a rubber band change out. When the Rode VideoMic Pro was released back in late 2010 I spent some time going over the specs and it looks like […]
13Feb Samson Airline Micro Tested with the Rode Videomic
The audio I recorded during the Samson Airline Micro test seemed to add a little bit of bass making the audio sound a little bit muddy. The system also seemed to have a slight audio hiss to it when I was testing. Neither of these things were bad enough to be a deal breaker, but I […]
