09Dec Aputure V-Screen VS-3 7 inch IPS HDMI field Monitor features
I’ve been spending a little more time with the Aputure VS-3 monitor. One of the more interesting features is it’s audio level meter display. When enabled in the menu (under “volume bar”) it gives you a visualization of the incoming audio on the hdmi port. Unfortunately this doesn’t do you much good on the Canon 5d […]
08Dec Viltrox DC-50 HDMI monitor review w/ side by side Sony CLM-V55 comparison
I’ve been meaning to finish up this review for about 2 months now, unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) I’ve had a pretty heavy shooting schedule over the last 5 months. Everything for this review was actually filmed almost 3 months ago, I just hadn’t had the free time to sit […]
05Dec TP-LINK TL-MR3040 battery powered wireless router for DSLR controller
DSLR controller is a great app and over the past year or so it’s gotten a lot better. Recently, DSLR controller posted a guide to a DIY project that allows you to use DSLR controller wirelessly.

03Dec Ultra Thin Low Profile HDMI Cable
I’ve been using Hyperthin cables for almost a year now, great cables, more flexible than a headphone cable, and if you catch them at the right time of year they’re around $14 a peace. Not a groundbreaking price but still fairly reasonable for the amount of flexibility a cable like this provides. The only complaint I […]

The Aputure V-Screen VS-3 7 inch field monitor showed up last night and I thought I’d post my first impressions before I disappear for the holiday weekend. This 1,024 x 600 7 inch panel has some decent specs and falls into the sub $400 price range (around $370 on ebay), so lets take a closer look. […]
03Oct Low price wireless DSLR Controller solution
DSLR Controller is an app I’ve demonstrated with the Nexus 7 as a monitor and controller for your camera. Now they’ve released an update that allows you to use a Google TV style dongle with a usb battery brick to accomplish the same thing via wifi. You can download the app for your dongle here and the DSLR […]
11Sep Nexus 7 FHD tablet – First Impressions
The 32GB Nexus 7 FHD showed up at the beginning of the week and I’ve just started playing around with it. I held off on posting anything until I could get someone to lend me a working Nexus 7 so I could do some side by side comparisons. So far touch screen response on the […]
04Sep Cracked Nexus 7 screen an excuse to upgrade?
Ironically I was mentioning the dangers of storing a tablet or laptop in the back compartment of a camera bag just yesterday. Not following my own advice I found my old Nexus 7 cracked after it’s return from travel in the back compartment of my camera bag. I could fix it and they do sell […]
14May Smallhd DP4 over heating problem solved
Over the last year or so, i have basically stopped taking the SmallHD DP4 out on jobs. The reason is because it would usually start to fail on me after a few hours of use. The monitor would start to get warm, then suddenly it would shut down. I’d change out batteries and get no […]
