If you are in the market for a field recorder, B&H has the Tascam DR-60d field recorder on sale for just $199 and that includes a free copy of Pluraleyes 3. That’s a pretty darn good price for an excellent little field recorder. Pluraleyes also adds a lot of value and is an excellent way […]
05Feb Nady SGM-12, still the cheapest usable shotgun mic on the market
For the price the Nady SGM-12 shotgun microphone is still one of the best values on the market. At $30 it could be described with buzzwords like “adequate”, “acceptable”, and “usable”. The audio from the Nady SGM-12 isn’t particularly impressive, but it is very usable for a $30 microphone. Over the years i’ve managed to […]
23Jan Cold shoe to thumb screw 1/4 20 rig mount – hands on
That little $9 adapter I posted last week, showed up and although the label on Amazon is a little strange Cold Shoe Mount Male ¼ to 20 Female Threaded Adapter the adapter itself is as pictured. The cold shoe and thumbscrew are both metal and the case itself is a molded piece of plastic. Feels […]
19Jan Atmos Ninja 2 firmware update
If you are an Atomos Ninja 2 owner, there’s a new firmware version 4.21 out (you can find it here). The update is supposed to improve support for deinterlacing, input color correction, as well as audio meter indication. They’ve also added some audio delay options for the analog audio inputs. I’m still pretty happy with my […]
13Jan Used Gear watch: Beachtek DXA-SLR DSLR audio adapter
I’ve had a Beachtek DXA-SLR audio adapter in my kit for a number of years and while the pre-amps aren’t as good as the ones offered by Juicedlink, the DXA-SLR makes up for it by offering a much more user friendly interface and far superior mounting options. While the DXA-SLR will normally set you back around $300 […]
11Jan Sony RX10 with the XLR-K1M adapter – First impressions
The weather was nice this afternoon so I took the opportunity to run a few quick tests with the Sony RX10. After a little bit of playing around in the menus I can safely say that the Sony XLR-K1M mic adapter works perfectly with the RX10 camera. Simply slide the smart adapter into the camera’s hot shoe, turn […]
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 […]

25Nov Senal SMH-1000 Studio Monitor Headphones Sale
So far, I’ve really been enjoying those SMH-1000 headphones I wrote about last week (check that out here). They comfortably got me through 4 hours of mixing over the weekend and I’ve really enjoyed the sound quality. They aren’t quite as flat of a response on the low end as my AIAIAI TMA-1 headphones, but i’ve […]
