23Apr New Lilliput Q7 1920×1080 IPS field monitor hands on
Lilliput is a company I haven’t really thought about in the last few years. They were one of the first to make an affordable 7 inch field monitor with a whopping 1024×600 resolution for under $200. Since then most of their monitors have been derivatives of the same concept. However at NAB this week, Devin and […]
01Apr Panasonic LX100 Wide angle adapter AG-LW4307, old but it works.
In the days of DV cameras, if you wanted a shoot with an angle any wider than the built in lens offered by the camera you had to use a Conversion Lens. With the advent of interchangeable lens cameras, this type of adapter has basically been forgotten. However, that doesn’t mean something like this isn’t […]
29Mar Blatantly miss labeled Generic DOT-01 Sony NP-FW50 batteries
First of all, I’d like to point out that most generic battery claims are dubious at best. If you look at the labeling for any type of generic battery out there, the Watt-hour (Wh) and milliamp hour (mAh) ratings are almost always higher than their name brand counterparts. It is easy to assume that a larger mAh […]
23Mar Traded in my 5d mark III for a Sony A7s II
I’ve been shooting on the Canon 5d mark III for about 4 years now and Canon bodies in general for almost seven years. During that time, I’ve stuck with the Canon 5d mark III even as I began to shoot more and more on the Panasonic GH4. Even though many have complained about the lack of resolution […]
19Mar Feeding two Lav mics into a 3.5mm Audio port on the cheap
There are tons of very expensive audio adapters out there that allow you to mix XLR and 3.5 mm audio sources into your camera, sometimes you just need to feed two lav mics into your camera on the cheap. That’s where the $4.50 Hosa stereo breakout cable comes in handy. After all, most Lav mic kits […]
15Mar Robocam Review, multi-cam control of Panasonic cameras
Want to control multiple Panasonic GH4 cameras from a laptop via wifi? If the answer is yes, then you might be interested in checking out Robocam. Basically, this $40 program allows you to scan a wifi network for Panasonic cameras, then remote control them the same way you would when using Panasonic’s image app on […]
21Feb Olympus 8mm f1.8 – First Impressions hands on
If you are transitioning from a full frame system like the Canon 5d Mark III to Micro 4/3, you’ll immediately miss the field of view provided by lenses like the Canon 24mm f1.4 and Canon 16-35mm f2.8. While a wide-angle perspective isn’t something you’ll use for everything it can be a very enjoyable look. My search for good wide […]
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 […]
