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 […]
24Mar Viltrox DC-50 5 inch HDMI monitor on Amazon
I was doing a little more research on the Viltrox DC-50 monitor and noticed that it’s recently popped up on Amazon for a slightly lower price of $184.36 ($178.88 + $5.48 shipping). That’s $10 less than the ebay price although it looks like the estimated shipping times are still 17 to 28 days so it’s […]
23Mar Sony 5 inch HDMI monitor clone $195 Viltrox DC-50
I’ve owned a Sony CLM V55 5 inch HDMI monitor for almost 3 years and it’s my go to monitor for most things. Sure I own a SmallHD DP4, but it over heats in hot weather and doesn’t last nearly as long on a single battery or two batteries for that matter. Plus I’ve always […]

CameraMator has taken down the app from the app store due to “legal issues” between the hardware […]
28Jan Panasonic VIERA 60 inch plasma Amazon Warehouse Deal
If you’re like me you picked up a large flat screen TV a few years ago. It still works just fine and you probably haven’t had a good enough reason to upgrade over the last however many years. However you still find yourself wondering through the TV section now and again looking at the new […]
04Jan SmallHD announces new 7 inch OLED 1280×800 monitors
SmallHD has announced a new 7 inch OLED monitor as well as a few other models under the title AC7. If you aren’t familiar with OLED technology, it’s basically an LED device that can be made in a LCD form factor. The nice thing about OLED tech is that it doesn’t require a back light, so contrast is greatly improved as […]
21Nov Panasonic RP-HTX7 Monitor Headphones – Road Test
A lot of times when I put together a review it’s after a few weeks of working with it. I think it might be beneficial to revisit some of the items I’ve had for a long time. Do I still use them on a regular basis? How durable are they after long term use? Would I still […]
