21Apr Crucial M500 960GB SSD $599 Pre-order on B&H
Another quick 1TB SSD update. If you want to guarantee your place in line for the Crucial M500 960GB SSD, B&H has them on pre-order with a delivery date of April 30th. Everywhere else I’ve looked simply has them marketed as out of stock. Next week isn’t too long to wait for a 62 cent […]
20Apr Crucial M500 960GB SSD $599!
Just a quick post. I managed to score one of these before they went out of stock yesterday and they seem be occasionally showing up in stock off and on today. At $599 for 960GB that’s about 62 cents a GB for this massive SSD. As i’m writing this they are currently out of stock […]
19Apr CTRL+Console editing tool for Premiere Pro
While I was at NAB I caught up with Jeff Chow creator of CTRL+Console. This cool little app allows you to use your iPad or iPhone as an editing console interface for Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro. It connects via wifi to your editing workstation and gives you quick access to the most commonly used features. […]
30Mar Cameramator iUSBportCamera update from Hyper + drive
I finally had a chance to test out the Sanho firmware upgrade for the Cameramator. This effectively loads the unit with the same configuration as their re-branded iUSBportCamera device. The update allows you to use any device with a web browser to access live view as well as camera controls. In this case I’m using the Nexus […]
25Mar Cameramator turns into iUSBportCamera with Sanho update
Good news for CameraMator owners (like myself), Sanho has released an update for the CameraMator that allows the unit to work with Android, IOS, and PC’s. I haven’t had a chance to try the update out yet, but it looks like it’s using a webpage interface for both LiveView and camera controls. Not sure how good the […]
23Mar Seagate 4TB external Drive Price drop to $149.99
The Seagate 4TB external drive normally hovers around $190, but right now it’s just $149 on amazon. The price of Seagate’s internal 4TB drive is currently at $189. This happens every once in awhile but it never really made any sense to me. How can the external drive with all the extra parts be less expensive then […]
17Mar Vanguard CF Memory Card Case
I liked the SD card case so much I decided to hunt down something for my CF cards. The Vanguard CF card case is only $11 and holds up to 6 CF cards in a form factor very similar to the SD card case I posted a few days ago. If you are wondering how this […]
09Mar Samsung Google Chromebook – First impressions
For the last few years the wife and I have used an Asus Netbook for quick internet access and e-mail from the couch. The little atom processor inside was just fast enough to handle basic stuff, but it would start to chock when more then 5 browser tabs were open at the same time. The netbook did […]
27Feb Samsung 840 500GB SSD $279
I posted about this SSD last month when the price was $319. Now you can find the Samsung 840 500GB SSD on amazon for $279, that’s a little less the 56 cents a GB. If you want to give your work station or laptop a speed boost at a reasonable price this is well worth […]
26Feb CameraMator, now it’s a paper weight for everyone
If you were a backer of the CameraMator kickstarter project and you didn’t manage to get a copy of the app from the ios app store or lost your original app, you are currently holding a $200 paper weight. CameraMator has taken down the app from the app store due to “legal issues” between the hardware […]
