28Feb PRETEC SDXC 64GB V.S. Sandisk Extreme SDHC 32GB Speed test

The PRETEC SDXC 64GB class 16 card clocks in at $75, while the Sandisk Extreme SDHC 32GB 45MB/s card will set you back about $64.  On one hand the Sandisk Extreme SDHC cards are well respected and considered to be well worth the money, while PRETEC made its name as one of the first companies […]

28Feb PRETEC 64GB SDXC card reader issues

The Pretec 64GB SDXC cards I ordered last week showed up today. Packaging looks pretty standard, though the card itself feels a little bit thicker then a standard SDHC card. I plan to put this through some speed tests and stack it up against the Sandisk Extreme 32GB 45m/s cards I have. The problem I’m having […]

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, […]

19Feb Modogrip offers new pricing options

I posted my first impressions of the Modogrip a few weeks ago and there were a lot of people asking about pricing. Some of you already own a 680B monopod or just want some of the hardware. Well it looks like they are now offering packages starting at $205 that are a hardware only option, with […]

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 […]

12Feb Juicedlink DIY107B and AT8469 mounting bracket

I haven’t spent much time commenting on Juicedlink’s DIY series of brackets and mounts.  This is mostly because of the pricing. $36 for a flat peace of aluminum with holes and another $14 for the AT8469 cold shoe mount seems a little pricey. So here are a few options to reduce the price or make your […]
