27Jun Campro Low Profile Triple Hot shoe Light and Sound Bracket – First impressions
The Campro hot shoe bracket showed up last night. It’s all metal construction and large rubberized thumb screws make the unit feel very solid. Build quality is good and all of the hardware moves smoothly. The camera adapter (bottom) is threaded into the unit with a 3/8 to 1/4 20 bushing adapter making it easy to […]
24Jun Using a IR remote to focus and start/stop recording on your Canon DSLR
I spent the day filming with Dave Dugdale from learningdslrvideo.com and one of the things he found interesting was my use of the Canon RC-1 IR remote to start/stop recording and refocus shots.

The STM designation stands for Stepper motor which is a slightly […]

09Jun Canon Rebel t4i available for pre-order. Do you really need a touch screen?
Canon continues to milk the APS-C sensor originally designed for the EOS 7d with yet another installment in the rebel lineup. The 18 Megapixel sensor is no slouch, but do we really need a 5th camera (6th if you count the Canon 60Da) with the same sensor. I was hoping that some of the sensor technology […]
