12Jun Paralinx Arrow Wireless HDMI transmitter
There are a few times when it would be really nice to have a wireless HD stream feeding back to a remote monitor. If your camera outputs a clean HDMI signal (Like the Nikon D800), it might also be handy to have wireless HD streamed to an HDMI field recorder. Previous HDMI wireless transmitter units (like the […]
24May Powergen and Anker USB battery packs
I’ve started using the Jangus Wireless wii units on a couple of projects with very positive results, but the last shoot I was on lasted over 9 hours which was more time then the built in battery on the transmitter could handle. I had two of these stereo transmitters with me so it wasn’t a […]
23May SmallHD DP4 hdmi monitor and EVF price drop.
My SmallHD DP4 is a pretty good monitor overall, but when I ordered it the price was $549 for the monitor alone and $745 if you wanted the extra EVF adapter kit. It seems Smallhd has decided to lower their prices a bit, the DP4 price has dropped $100 to $449, and the DP4-EVF kit […]
23May H005 Real Pic 5.6 inch 1280×800 hdmi monitor – first impression/last impressions
The H005 Real Pic monitor showed up yesterday (shipping from china was surprisingly fast). The package was your standard brown paper bag wrapped around the product with some bubble wrap. No cellophane around the box and it looks like it has been opened before. The monitor itself is packaged in a nice foam cut out and comes with […]
22May Flashpoint LCD 8″ Monitor with built in Remote shutter trigger
(Special thanks to Yiannis for pointing this out to me) The Flashpoint LCD 8 inch monitor is an interesting concept. You basically get an 8 inch hdmi monitor that doubles as a remote shutter trigger and wireless standard definition monitor for $499. An 8 inch monitor is right at the limit of what you’d want to […]
15May H005 Real Pic 5.6 inch 1280×800 hdmi monitor
LCD monitors have really started to advance over the last couple of years. Manufactures have been able to cram more and more pixels into smaller and smaller areas. It was only a matter of time before someone caught up with the pixel count of smallhd’s DP6. At less then a quarter of the price ($220 […]
02May Fostex PM0.5n 70W 5″ Active Nearfield Studio Monitors
I’ve received a number of e-mails asking what I use to compare audio samples in some of my tests. Besides a nice set of studio headphones I also use a compact but decent set of Near field Studio monitor speakers. If you’re not familiar with the term “nearfield” it simply means that the speakers are designed to be in […]
07Apr First look at my headphone Wireless monitoring setup.
I mentioned awhile back that I’ve been using my Bluetooth stereo setup for audio monitoring. Above are the AIAIAI TMA-1 headphones I use when I need that extra bit of clarity in the audio I’m monitoring. The nice thing about the TMA-1 headphones is the 3.5mm jack on the left ear peace, this allows you to remove […]
26Mar Panasonic RP-HTX7 headphones – short review
Every time these headphones appear in one of my videos, I get questions about them. You are looking at a pair of Panasonic RP-HTX7 headphones. I had to do some digging to find out when I actually bought this pair and it looks like I’ve been using them since April of 2008. So almost 4 […]
23Mar Sescom DSLR-550D-HOCF Headphone Monitoring Cable
One of the things that makes the Canon 5d Mark III an attractive prospect is the headphone monitoring jack. If you’re willing to install Magic Lantern firmware on your camera you can enjoy the same feature. I’ve posted more elaborate ways to monitor audio while recording audio with your DSLR, but there is a more elegant […]
