01Mar Monoprice 2.4GHz Wireless Mic system $49.99
Over a Year ago, I put together the review above of the Monoprice 2.4Ghz Wireless mic system. It isn’t the best wireless system in the world but at the time of the review, it was a decent value for the price. Since then there have been a lot of clones on the market and most […]
28Feb Saramonic Uwmic10 Dual body-pack 2 channel receiver now out
When I reviewed the Saramonic UwMic10 UHF system a few weeks ago, you could only buy a single transmitter and receiver set. This is odd when you consider that the receiver is capable of handling two channels simultaneously. Saramonic has finally picked up production and released a dual transmitter two channel set. At $399 this UHF […]
26Feb Canon 80d, the Camera you wanted 3 years ago.
It’s been over 6 years since the Canon t2i was released. With the help of Magic Lantern, the t2i brought us headphone monitoring, focus peaking, audio level meters, in camera gain control and some other very impressive features. There have been 8 or so camera bodies released since then, but none of them have provided the value offered […]
24Feb Panasonic G7 for under $500 – Used Gear watch
If you are looking for a very affordable second camera as a backup to the Panasonic Gh4 or are just looking to start shooting 4k on a budget, the Panasonic G7 has dropped bellow $500 on both Amazon and Ebay. That’s a pretty tempting price (even if it is used), and a very affordable option for first […]
20Feb Z camera E1 is finally getting better.
I’ve had the Z-camera E1 for well over 8 months and most of that time it has been a paper weight. While the included GH4 M43 sensor in the Z-camera is capable of a lot, firmware implementation has been a major limiting factor. At the time the kickstarter campaign started shipping, the Z-camera E1 came with firmware version […]
16Feb Audio-Technica System 10 – First impressions hands on
I’ve had the Audio-Technica System 10 sitting under my desk for more than a month and I’m finally starting to get some time to try it out. If you aren’t familiar with the System 10, basically it is another of many Wifi (2.4Ghz) based wireless lav systems that has hit the market over the last year or […]
15Feb Saramonic UwMic10 Dual Channel UHF wireless System Review
UHF wireless systems have come a long way regarding price and ability over the last five years. Not long ago, if you wanted a UHF wireless lav system, your two main options were either Sennheiser or Sony, with only a few somewhat suspect alternatives. However, in 2016, there are literally dozens of companies offering wireless lav […]
26Nov RODE’s Videomic pro 10 year warranty is very impressive
I’ve been using a pair of RODE videomic pro since 2012. They’ve been great for sync sound and interview audio over the years and always make it into my camera bag. After almost 4 years of use, I finally managed to break the cradle off while chasing actress into a car. I, didn’t really have […]

For those of you who own the Z-cam E1 camera or are interested in buying one, Z-cam has just released version .21 of the camera’s firmware. You can download it via the Z-cam app. I had a lot of complaints about the first iteration of the Z-cam E1, but with this update Z-cam is finally starting […]
