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.

04Dec Tamrac Pro Camera bags – Road Test
So you’ve spent all this money on great lenses, a good camera, and all the other kit you need to start shooting. The next question is, how do you travel with it? In the past I’ve shown you a few of the bags I’ve used, but over the last few years I’ve been making the […]
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 […]

Several of you were asking about the charger plates for the Watson Duo LCD charger I wrote about last week. Here we have a few different flavors, they look the same from the front of the box, but each contains a different type of battery plate. On the left we have Canon BP-900 plate, in […]
20Nov Switronix TorchLED Bolt sale
The TorchLED bolt by Switronix is one of the few LED camera mounted lights I’ve used that actually puts out enough good light to be useful. It’s bright, it’s battery powered, and it’s portable (check out my review here). Right now through December 31st B&H has the TorchLED bolt with battery kit on sale for […]
