There are always a lot of questions about hooking up a Canon DSLR to a standard definition monitor. The special cable you need normally comes with new cameras, but a lot of people either lose it or buy used and don’t get the cable. If you don’t have it, the cable is called a AVC-DC400ST […]

Quick update on the Aputure VS-3 IPS monitor. With the new firmware installed you can now see and use the menu system in focus peaking mode. This makes the monitor much easier to use.

08Jan Sony RX10 & XLR-K1M adapter
I’ve been wanting to get a Sony RX10 in for review for awhile now. With a focal range of 24-200mm (35mm equivalent) and a constant f2.8 across the entire range, the Sony RX10 looks like a pretty decent camera on paper. On top of that it’s supposed to be compatible with the Sony XLR-K1M adapter […]
13Dec Is the Camranger really a TP-LINK TL-MR3040?
The short answer to that question is yes. I spoke with the guys from TP-Link this morning, i’m currently on Scotland time, so I think that’s evening in the United States. Here’s what they said.
