24Mar Sescom USB to 3.5mm headphone monitoring cable – Video Review
First i’d like to note that there is a mistake in this video. As of right now Magic Lantern audio functions are not working on the T3i. They are working on it, but the t3i and 600d have a different audio chip then the rest of canon’s cameras making it difficult to enable audio functionality. […]
23Mar Sescom DSLR-550D-HOCF Headphone Monitoring Cable
One of the things that makes the Canon 5d Mark III an attractive prospect is the headphone monitoring jack. If you’re willing to install Magic Lantern firmware on your camera you can enjoy the same feature. I’ve posted more elaborate ways to monitor audio while recording audio with your DSLR, but there is a more elegant […]
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 […]
15Mar Magic Lantern Key feature overview, Noob guide part 3
Exposure Screen: I’ve already covered the two screens you’ll probably use the most (Audio and Live View). Now it’s time for the less used but still important Exposure Screen. Magic Lantern opens up some very useful features so lets take a look at this screens basic options. ISO – Canon locked the ISO options for […]
11Mar Magic Lantern Key feature overview, Noob guide part 2
Live View Screen: The Live view screen has some pretty useful options available, but the most important feature is the very first option “Global Draw”. Turning this on allows Magic Lantern to display handy graphics on the screen like the Audio meters. If this option is turned off, your camera’s screen will look the same as […]
10Mar Magic Lantern Key feature overview, Noob guide part 1
Behold the majestic Canon t2i sporting the Sigma 30mm f1.4 lens, basking itself in the late afternoon sunshine. But seriously as of right now the Canon t2i combined with Magic Lantern is the best bang for your buck out of any DSLR video option on the market. A used t2i body sells for well under $500, add […]
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 […]
07Mar Lower price alternative to the Sescom Microphone Attenuation Cable
The Sescom Microphone Attenuation Cable does what it’s supposed to do. It reduces the headphone output of the Zoom h1 to a level that the Camera’s microphone input can handle, but the price has always seemed somewhat unreasonable at $27. That’s a quarter of the price of a new Zoom h1 itself. Many of you have asked […]
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, […]
