08Sep Adjustable tripod mount for your field recorder.
Sometimes it’s nice to mount your field recorder closer to your subject and still keep it out of frame or place it close to something you’re trying to sample. You could use an adjustable friction arm, but a cheaper and easier way is to use a boom mic stand and add this On Stage 1/4 20 […]

22Aug The SanDisk memory cards came in.
Those SanDisk prices were so good that I went ahead and ordered 2 32GB cards and 2 16GB cards. I’ve been testing out Qscale setting that are available with the magic lantern firmware updates to the Canon t2i.

18Aug Light Craft Fader ND v.s. Polaroid Fader ND first look.
I started filming comparison footage of the Polaroid and Light Craft Fader ND filters this afternoon.

01Aug Do you really need an EVF for critical focus on your DSLR?
I’m often asked to recommend a good EVF (electronic view finder) adapter for critical focus. I will start out by saying I don’t use and don’t care for EVF adapters. If you’re trying to achieve critical focus, its a cheaper and easier option to use the 5x and 10x zoom on your camera. Using an […]
14Jul Empty monitor space on the Sony CLM v55 with Canon DSLRS.
I finally had a some time this evening to run a few proper tests with the Sony CLM V55 monitor and go through the menus. I will admit that I have a little bit of buyers remorse. Although the image is crisp and the colors look very good the monitor has no stretch or adjustment […]
14Jul Juicedlink DS214 adapters are finally available.
The DS214 adapter is finally back. The demand has been so good for the Zoom H1 shock mount that I didn’t have enough down time on my makerbot to test and print the new design until a few nights ago. The new DS214 design has a few hard to notice changes mostly to do with […]
