26Mar NastyClamp vs Actionpod which one is right for your kit?

I’ve been playing around with the NastyClamp as well as the Actionpod for a few weeks now trying to decide which one is a better fit. Both use the same 3/4 inch Loc-line tube so they both have pretty much the same load capacity. The major difference is in the squeeze clamp and mounting stud. […]

17Mar Vanguard CF Memory Card Case

I liked the SD card case so much I decided to hunt down something for my CF cards. The Vanguard CF card case is only $11 and holds up to 6 CF cards in a form factor very similar to the SD card case I posted a few days ago. If you are wondering how this […]

08Mar Nasty Clamps – First impressions

I posted a little while ago about the Actionpod and a few of you mentioned that it looked very similar to the Nasty Clamp. Until that point I hadn’t heard much about Nasty Clamp, so I thought it might be a good time to give them a try. The Nasty Clamp is a flexible squeeze clamp mounting solution […]

09Feb New Canon 6d for just $1750 on ebay

If you are in the market for a full frame camera, the Canon 6d is selling right now new on ebay for a little less then $1750. Glad to see the canon 6d is starting to settle into a much more reasonable price for what it has to offer. At this price it’s a much […]

25Jan Catleap 27 inch 2560×1440 IPS display – Road Test

I posted about Catleap IPS 2560×1440 display a few months back and I haven’t really posted much about it since. I don’t do a lot of monitor testing, so for me the best sign that a monitor is doing a good job can be summed up in the lack of complaints. After 5 months of […]

15Jan Pixel E11 Canon 5d mark III Battery Grip – Review

The Pixel E11 is one of many generic battery grips for the Canon 5d mark III. The Canon branded BG-E11 battery grip will set you back around $275 while the Pixel E11 will run you between $70 and $100 depending on the number of decoded LP-E6 batteries that are included in the kit. Although the Canon branded […]

08Jan The very odd looking Powershot N

I’ve said before that Canon isn’t the most innovative company in the camera world. So I was surprise to get the press announcement for the Powershot N. This strange little camera houses a 12.1 Megapixel sensor with a touch screen interface and “wireless capabilities” which i’m guessing is built in Wi-Fi though I can’t find anything in the specs. Oddly […]

12Dec Free Time Lapse software that’s easy to use: GoPro Cineform Studio

I have a lot of good things to say about the GoPro Hero 3, but I’ll save them for the full review. What I want to point out here is that the free Cineform Studio app on Gopro’s site is an excellent, easy, full functioning, time lapse application. Simply click the “Import New Files” button on the left, […]

09Dec Linco Flora Lighting kit review

The Flora Lighting kit from Linco showed up in four boxes, two of  which where filled with 85 watt CFLs (the kit comes with 18 total) and the other two containing stands, heads, and light boxes. The stands and heads come in these nice padded zipper cases, while the CFLs are packed in Styrofoam. The boxes where […]

27Nov So I pre-ordered the Canon 6d

The Canon 6d has had me on the fence for awhile now. It’s as though Canon added just enough features to tempt me, but took away enough to make me think about waiting tell February for the next batch of cameras. On the downside the Canon 6d barely keeps up with the 5d mark II when it comes […]
