07Jan DSLR FILM NOOB Podcast 0.5 and 0.6
Two more DSLR FILM NOOB podcast episodes are out as I continue through the co-host extravaganza. Make sure you continue through the ending of episode 0.6, Richard and I ended up having a lengthy side discussion on the Sony a7s and E-mount lenses in general, it’s pretty good stuff. Also be sure to check out […]
06Jan DSLR FILM NOOB Podcast
There was a lot more interest than I was expecting in the idea of a weekly podcast. Thanks to everyone for all of your e-mails and show ideas! After a lot of conversations I’ve narrowed it down to 8 possible Co-hosts. I’ll be working off of the same show notes with each of them. So far […]
30Apr RODE Videomic pro 3.5mm to XLR input adapter
These adapters are pretty hand to have around. They work great with for the RODE Videomic Pro when dealing with XLR inputs and they also do a good job adapting wireless audio units like the Sennheiser units I normally use. You can find the cheaper version here for about $6.50 and the RODE branded version […]
31Mar DFN Mail bag Episode 3 – DSLR FILM NOOB
Questions: I just watched your video. Why do you use A Y splitter on the Tascam DR-60d? Is there any advantage to using an XLR audio adapter over something like the Tascam DR-60d? Which audio recorder/preamp/etc would you normally and routinely use for video shooting? What exactly is the crotch bar? Be sure to leave […]
26Mar IOGEAR Smartlink USB to USB adapter
The IOGEAR Smartlink USB to USB adapter set me back $14, and it’s a pretty simple tool for transferring files back and forth between a Mac and PC. Transfer speeds are limited to USB 2.0 restrictions which isn’t horrible and there isn’t any max file size problems like fat32 formatted drives which makes it pretty […]
24Mar DFN Mail bag Episode 2 – DSLR FILM NOOB
Questions: What are your thoughts on the Panasonic GH4? I’m upgrading from a 550d which camera would you choose? Do you think the EOS-M needs an external pre-amp or is the internal pre-amp decent? Be sure to leave your questions in the comment section or on twitter.
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 […]
16Mar DFN Mail bag Episode 1 – DSLR FILM NOOB
Question: I saw your video using the nexus 7 as a monitor while filming. Canon you do the same thing with the ipad? I get this question on a daily bases so I thought i’d start the new show out with it. Let me know what you guys think of the new show format, I know […]
26Feb Zoom h4n memory card load times and the slow boot problem
A number of you have sent me emails about incredibly slow boot times when using the Zoom h4n. Instead of replying to the question multiple times, I thought it might be easier to address it here. The Zoom h4n is a pretty decent field recorder for the price, but it doesn’t seem to play well […]
05Feb Nady SGM-12, still the cheapest usable shotgun mic on the market
For the price the Nady SGM-12 shotgun microphone is still one of the best values on the market. At $30 it could be described with buzzwords like “adequate”, “acceptable”, and “usable”. The audio from the Nady SGM-12 isn’t particularly impressive, but it is very usable for a $30 microphone. Over the years i’ve managed to […]
