03Apr MustHD 5.6 inch 1280×800 HDMI field monitor Review
Over all I’ve been pretty impressed with the image quality of the MustHD 5.6 inch field monitor. For a monitor in this price range it looks really good and the 1280×800 screen resolution is a very nice plus. The design and implementation of the sun hood and battery plates are very well thought out and […]
27Mar Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 lens – First Impressions
I just got my hands on the Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 lens and shot this quick hands on video. The Design feels pretty solid and I think there might actually be more metal on the Olympus than the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8. Build quality is top notch. I know there was a pretty strong divide between a number of you […]
25Mar MustHD 5.6 inch 1280×800 field monitor Quick look video
Had a chance to do a little more testing this afternoon. Here’s a quick video look at the MustHD 5.6 inch monitor. Build quality is plastic with lots of vent ports, but that’s not unreasonable for a monitor under $300 with this much screen resolution. I’m still very impressed by the image quality. This thing […]
25Mar MustHD 5.6 inch 1280×800 HDMI field monitor – First impressions
I just received the MustHD 5.6 inch 1280×800 HDMI field monitor in the mail. A number of you were asking about the MustHD after my earlier review of the Aputure VS-3 field monitor so here it is. Out of the box the MustHD field monitor is surprisingly light weight. The controls are numerous and fairly easy to use, […]
24Mar Canon EOS-M Rig
The Canon EOS-M is a pretty tiny little camera and there’s not a whole lot of room to mount accessories. In order to make the camera a little larger and add a few more mounting spots I attach it to this used flash bracket and a Giottos MH652 quick release plate. I’ve made a few makeshift updates […]
21Mar Azden FMX-DSLR Review video
Over all I’d say the Azden FMX-DSLR is a pretty good buy. It’s more straightforward and easy to use than a Juicedlink RM333 and it’s less expensive than the Beachtek DXA-SLR. It also offers up a few more routing and mixing options as well as lav power via the 3.5mm jack. As I mentioned in […]

Thank you for everyone’s input and suggestions on lenses for the Panasonic Gh4, those of you who are long time Panasonic owners have been extremely helpful. […]
20Mar Preparing for the Panasonic GH4 – Memory cards
I have a few Sandisk Extreme Pro SD cards laying around as well as some less “pro” Extreme cards. I spent some time today working through the math and speed testing to see if any of these cards would keep up with Panasonic Gh4’s 4k recording function. In order to save you guys some time […]
19Mar Preparing for the Panasonic GH4 – Lenses
As I mentioned before, I went ahead and pre ordered the Panasonic GH4. The specs are pretty amazing and the $1699 price tag makes it one of the most attractive 4k camera offerings on the market. However not many people have had their hands on the camera, so the Panasonic GH4 is still a little bit of an […]
17Mar Quick look at my Tascam DR-60d Wireless solution
I’ve mentioned this a few times in the past, but I haven’t really spent much time covering it. Here’s a quick look at my Tascam DR-60d wireless audio solution. Basically I use the line out of the DR-60d and feed that into the Digital Wi stereo transmitter, then record the audio at the camera on the […]
