30Jan MSI GS60 upgrade doesn’t void your warranty
There were a number of questions about the MSI GS60 upgrade I posted a few weeks ago. The number one question was “Will this void my warranty?” I’ve spoken to MSI on the phone and they said it would not, but I never got anything back from them via e-mail. Laura was kind enough to send […]

27Jan Sony LA-EA4 E to A-mount adapter Audio test

The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 is a lens that’s been around for quite awhile and it’s been released for a number of camera mounts including, Sony (A-mount), Nikon, Canon, and Pentax.

26Jan Monoprice 2.4Ghz Wireless system Audio tests & the Aspen Lav
I had a little bit of time to test the Monoprice 2.4Ghz wireless system this weekend and it works. The design choices, connector types, and labels aren’t exactly straight forward, and it seems as though the volume controls only affect the headphone output, but for a price of $89, it works. One of the major […]

17Jan Used Gear Watch: Audio Technica 4073 boom mic $270
I’ve been a fan of the Audio-technica 4073 boom mic for years and it’s often overlooked by filmmakers. The 4073 has a very strong signal, a lot of reach, and a very crisp clear sound. It’s popularity in ENG work has made it so common that you can usually get the mic for a good price […]
15Jan Matin Neoprene Soft Lens Bags
While M4/3 lenses are generally very small, most of them aren’t very tough. With large lenses I tend to use a camera bag with a large storage area and I separate lenses with multiple compartments velcroed together inside the bag. Instead of attempting to use the same method for M4/3 lenses I use these very affordable […]

I ran out decimal places so i’m going to call this Episode 1. I’m still getting a few more things into place and hope to go live with video and a standard 2 day a week formate by the end of the month. This episode is pretty long (2 hours) so no bonus ending. Jon […]
