About Me
My Name is DeeJay Scharton. I am a Film Maker, Musician, and Electronics nerd. I travel to Film conventions yearly and you can find some of my work on IMDB. I got my start in a recording studio and playing with a band, then I slowly moved on to photography and film making. You can catch me each week on the Splattercast (one of the webs longest running horror themed podcasts), on my Youtube channel, or on this blog.
I was very frustrated with the lack of tutorials and information available on the net covering DSLR film making. So I hope to shed some light on subject. My contributions to DSLR filming are free, no monthly subscription or sales pitch and if I recommend a product chances are I own it, have owned it, or have at the very least used it for filming.
If you think something I cover is worth having you can help me out by purchasing it through my amazon links or gear page. That helps pay for the cost of the site.
Have a question on something or have a topic you’d like see covered, just send me a message or leave a comment and I’ll put it on my list of things to do.
This site is still growing so please bear with me as I update the content.
Thanks
-Deejay

Deejay,
Just found your site and I really like it, I am adding you to my blogroll. Please keep the posts coming.

Thanks Dave, You do some great work yourself. If there is anything you’d like to see more of just let me know!

Have you done much color grading? I am learning about that right now.
February 15th, 2011 at 6:15 pm
I have magic bullet colorista and use it for important projects, but if I’m touching up a youtube clip I often just use RGB color curves (I know shameful). If i’m really feeling lazy I just dial in a look in camera and go with that.
For the footage I plan to color correct I normally use a slightly modified marvels cine flat picture style setting. Not quit as flat to prevent plastic looking skin (the settings for the t2i, 7d, and 5d are slightly different).
July 28th, 2011 at 5:19 pm
hey buddy i just saw your youtube video on the konova slider and hear you say that theres no adjustment, there is an adjustment on the tension.
July 28th, 2011 at 9:39 pm
You’re absolutely right! It does have a tension adjustment. I should have side: “You can actually adjust the friction applied to the bearings on the Konova slider. The only problem is you have to remove your fluid head, the adapter plate, and then get out a special tool to make the adjustment. This takes enough time that I don’t consider it to be useful in the middle of filming. However if you do have the time to field dress your rig then this could still be a useful feature.”
I have a full post about that here.
Thanks for watching Buddy

I am considering purchasing an external monitor for use on my Canon XH-A1 and my future purchase of a 60d. Would this monitor work in a similar way as your Lilliput monitor for twice the price? I know it does not have HDMI.

February 22nd, 2011 at 7:28 am
The manufacturer’s website says the resolution is 480 × 234. If that’s correct, there are a number of more affordable options in that resolution range, including the PYLE PLVHR75 7-Inch TFT for $58 and the Haier HLT71 7-Inch for $50 (which even includes a battery). There are also some very affordable monitors on ebay.
February 22nd, 2011 at 10:54 pm
Thanks man, the more I think about it I think the higher resolution I would get from the model you have seems like a better investment in the long run.
February 23rd, 2011 at 7:54 am
I feel it is, but some might disagree. If you buy a good field monitor it should last you through 3 or 4 cameras. If you can afford a bit more, monitors like the Ikan v5600, the Ikan VH7, and the new Sony CLM-v55 all have headphone jacks that allow you to monitor audio from the camera in a more conducive manor (this is a very handy on dslr rigs especially).
February 26th, 2011 at 10:06 pm
Why is the Tokina 11-16MM F/2.8 $1,133.50 on your amazon buy page and the same lens is $599.00 on B&H?
Just checking.
-Rob
February 27th, 2011 at 8:02 am
Thanks for the heads up. That is a ridiculous mark up by Amazon. I’ll take it down.
March 22nd, 2011 at 8:34 pm
Just found your site! Thank you so much for the knowledge. I am just about to purchase a Canon 7d. It appears from reading blogs that external mic setups are much better for DSLR shooting than going with the standard internal mic. I am trying to decide between a Zoom h2n, which would require track syncing or a Rode mic. Any thoughts? Thanks
David.
March 23rd, 2011 at 7:52 am
I own both the Zoom h4n and the rode video microphone. If your just doing a video blog, and don’t need perfect sound, you could probably get by with the Rode VideoMic. But a field recorder with synced audio will probably be your best bet with the canon 7d.
June 16th, 2011 at 9:52 am
Does it matter if your shooting 24 fps vs 30 when using an external audio recorder for sync purposes? I thought I’d simple line up the wave forms in FCP to sync the wave files.
March 6th, 2012 at 12:06 pm
Dave — 24 vs 30 does not matter at all, and syncing works exactly like you think. If you clap your hands or use a clapper board to spike the audio you have a easy to find sync point.
March 6th, 2012 at 8:38 pm
John is absolutely right.
March 24th, 2011 at 9:42 am
I was curious if you’ve ever used this Tokina 35mm f/2.8? It seems like a decent bargain. I’ve wanted to purchase the 11-16mm but they’ve been out of stock everywhere, and prices have been jacked up on amazon. So I’ve looked at possibly adding this lens to my gear…

I’m not sure if you’re my new favorite site because of the money you’ve saved me with all of the great, inexpensive equipment you’ve demoed that’ll take the place of the more expensive stuff, or if I hate hate hate your site because of all the extra money I’ll be spending on the great, inexpensive equipment you’ve demoed THAT I DIDN’T KNOW I NEEDED UNTIL YOU SHOWED ME HOW COOL THEY ARE (Ape bags anyone?)
Love the XLR splitter option, by the way! (9 more bucks gone.) That’s going to save me a ton of hassle.
Also really grateful that you either write your dialogue down (or at least the key points), or are hellaciously good at memorizing. SOOOOO painful to watch someone who has great information, but spends so much time stammering or going off on tangents. That extra effort really shows you as a pro that I’m happy to recommend to people.
Oh, and love the humor! So rare to find someone who can be both silly, and have fun doing so.
Thanks,
Robert
March 30th, 2011 at 12:16 pm
Thanks Robert! I try to keep it fun, and interesting, even on subjects that aren’t very exciting. If there is anything you’d like to see more of just let me know.
March 30th, 2011 at 12:33 pm
Well, as it happens, I’m researching the value and application of ND, ultraviolet, and IR filters.
I’m trying to minimize the skew towards red that my camera (and, I guess, most Canon DSLRs) seems to love.
I figure I could also do this with the Picture Style editor, but I’m trying to stay away from mucking about with that until I’ve gotten better in a few other areas.
So how about a segment on this?
March 30th, 2011 at 1:12 pm
That’s actually an easy one. Try using a IR compensated ND filter. The IR compensation keeps the image from shifting red. The only down side is that these filters cost about 2 to 3 times as much as the normal ND filters.
March 30th, 2011 at 7:07 pm
See? More cool information which leads to more cool stuff which leads to more money spent which leads to the love-hate thing. Two hours of scouring Cinema 5D, and the answer is right here.
So, can I get away with a .3 ND filter, or is there something lower (or does the .3, .9, etc. not apply)?
And, lastly, are there any brands/makes/models that you recommend?
Thanks!

DSLR Rig Shoulder Mount
what you think about this rig? if this can mount on a tripod that might be a plus
April 3rd, 2011 at 9:48 am
I’ve seen 4 or 5 versions of that rig show up online all over the place. I haven’t actually seen any reviews on it. But it could be a hand rig if you don’t need 15mm rails.
May 2nd, 2011 at 5:29 am
i have also seen th is foldable rig…it interests me and i may go for it in a couple payperiods…found a rails adapter that might fit it kinda sweet too…
May 12th, 2011 at 8:56 am
Deejay, Fist I’d like to say that I love what you’re doing man, keep it up!! Ok, so I have a canon t2i, and I went ahead and bought the “Cheap” $28 monitor as well as the cold shoe and battery you suggested, also, I updated to the Magic Lantern, however, when I connected the monitor,turned the camera on, the Monitor only stays on for a few seconds, and the picture goes black…I’m stuck man, I don’t know what’s going on, could you please help? Am I missing something?
May 28th, 2011 at 5:01 pm
hey Deejay just wanted to leave you this, thought it may be connected with a recent post of yours, i made this fr probably less than a dollar as a follow focus

I always look forward to your postings; it’s my weekend routine. Starbucks, iPad, and DSLR Film Noob!
So I just took a position at a university that, as a special project for the Dean, I’ll be producing videos about the exciting research going on in the academic departments.
The university hooked me up with the T3i a new iMac, FCPro, and Adobe CS5. I used your site to help make the decision on the Canon camera. Honestly, I barely know what I’m doing, but I have a lot of heart and a desire to learn. You have been very helpful (and entertaining).
Audio is the next hurdle for me to overcome. I’m considering the H1, the Sennheiser 400, and the Samson Meteor Mic, but I also need a handsfree mic. Don’t need wireless. Just something for interviews. Can you give me your thoughts on this? It will plug right into the camera or the zoom.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/659062-REG/Pearstone_9111930_OLM_10_Omnidirectional_Lavalier_Microphone.html
Thanks for all your hard work! I enjoy your site and all the helpful advice.
July 17th, 2011 at 11:48 am
I decided to go with the Sennheiser 400. Have you ever used an extension cable with the mic on a boom pole or as a handheld mic? You know, pointing it up or down to reduce noise behind the person speaking. Keep up the good work!
June 14th, 2011 at 6:50 pm
Hi DeeJay,
On mounting your Zoom H4 n video you talk about using a ram mount ball. You have a link to a cold shoe ball, but it seems like in your video you changed the mount in between the Zoom and Super clamp … there looks like another piece of hardware that looks like it would make the Zoom much more adjustable.
Could you take a look at your video (around 1:30 in when you show the close up?
I would sure like to buy that unknown piece of connectivity you are using — for a very adjustable Zoom position.
Thanks!!!!!!
June 16th, 2011 at 9:17 am
DeeJay,
Thanks for all that your doing to help us understand this new equipment. I have an XH A1 and have been producing biographical docs since 2004. Some of my recent work is on Vemio and on the sidebar…anyway, I’m very impressed by the shallow DOF that the prime lenses bring to the table. And my work really needs this as most of my shoots involve personal interviews.
My daughter has a Nikon D5000 and I’ve been thinking about getting a prime lense and building a rig with audio recorder. What lens do you think would be good if I need the shallow DOF and at the same time don’t want to smother the interviewee by being right on top of them? I may just get the Zoom N1 to start out but the Tascam 100 seems like the best audio tool for me but its really large! I like the XLR input feature etc. I watched your side by side with the Sigma and the Canon 30 m and the Canon seems to have a smoother look. I wasn’t sure if what I saw was a distinction from the slightly different angle — as the light might have been different. If its possible to stack them on the same shooting angle it might help next time…anyway your doing a terrific job….THANK YOU!
Best wishes,
Dave
July 3rd, 2011 at 4:12 am
Dear DJ,
Saw your movie about the liliput. My problem is that the aspect ratio (I’m using it with the canon 5d)changes to 4:3 when I go from the viewing mode in the record mode. What am I doing wrong??
July 4th, 2011 at 6:04 pm
The aspect ratio actually changes because of the way the 5d mark II is setup. If you switch your lilliput monitor to DVI mode, your footage should fill the whole screen. The down side is that when in 4:3 mode your video footage will be stretched. If you have the money to spend on a high end monitor, the smallHD DP6 fixes this problem by remapping the image to the monitor, and does a great job.
July 4th, 2011 at 1:23 pm
GREAT website ! It’s funny, I go to the sci-fi/horror conventions, too. I usually go to CinemaWasteland (and the older and no longer Frightvision)….Love those shows!
July 8th, 2011 at 3:24 am
Hi, Deejay. I’ve watched this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tY28gQnBW0
When you test the audio of the Tascam DR-05 and Zoom h1 side by side, I heard the Tascam DR-05 came out with nice audio sound compare to the Zoom h1, why? is it setting problem or both with the same setting? Because I’m wondering which one should I get between these two.
Thanks.
July 8th, 2011 at 8:21 am
The Tascam DR-05 has a little stronger pre amps then the zoom H1 which seems to do a good job of boosting the incoming audio. I’ve posted more information on it here.
July 8th, 2011 at 8:50 am
I see. Thanks Deejay.
July 19th, 2011 at 4:05 pm
I own a Canon T1i/500D. I want to upgrade to a different lens, and I’ve narrowed it down to the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 and Canon 50mm f/1.4. I don’t hate, but I really just dislike lenses with a zoom ring. I prefer all primes, 1) for the shallow depth-of-field, and 2) the sharp quality. I have the 50mm f/1.8 but find it too long for me on a crop body so that’s when I started looking and found the sigma. Nowhere in the near future, but I someday want to move to full frame. I’m thinking the next 2-3 years. When I upgrade to FF, I hope to get the 50mm1.4. I’m wondering if it’s worth it to get the 50mm 1.4 now, than later OR get the 50mm later, and the Sigma 30mm now. The 50mm 1.8 has worked great for portraits, but I often find myself need a wider angle more now. I’m looking to pay no more than $500. The most important things to me are large aperture, and image quality. So do you suggest sigma or canon?
Thanks,
Christa
July 22nd, 2011 at 7:30 am
The Sigma 30mm f1.4 holds it’s value. If you take good care of it, you can always sell it for about what you paid for it in the future, then use that money on a canon 50mm f1.4. Or you might find in 2 or 3 years that you want to keep your old camera around as a back up to your full frame camera. In which case you’ll still enjoy having your Sigma 30mm f1.4 around.
I think you’ll probably be happier with the wider field of view that the Sigma 30mm f1.4 has to offer.
November 20th, 2011 at 12:11 am
Hey man, I just got the Canon 50mm 1.4 but the focus ring is not as smooth as i expected on the manual mode, is that normal?
November 20th, 2011 at 8:19 pm
The 50 1.4 does a good job but doesn’t have the best focus ring. It works well with a focus gear but it isn’t the smoothest when trying to manually focus by hand.
July 20th, 2011 at 6:58 am
Thank you, Deejay, for keeping us all informed on the latest gear out there! With all the cool equipment you’ve had your hands on, I was wondering what your day job was, and could we ever get a glimpse of some of your work?
Keep up the good work! 🙂
July 20th, 2011 at 9:27 pm
A few of the feature length films I’ve worked on are for sale on amazon, but most of my resent work is in the corporate video market. Once I finish a project I turn it over to them. The next project i’m working on is a documentary about college sports, but very little funding has been raised and I’m not sure when it will get off the ground. I also have 3 scripts laying around that we’ve been trying to find funding for. With the economy the way it is I’m not sure if or when any of them will be made.
Until I have some more fun projects, I’ll probably be working on more safety videos in the near feature.
August 22nd, 2011 at 9:33 am
Do you ever use a backdrop canvas for interviews? If so, which do you recommend?
August 22nd, 2011 at 9:42 am
Sorry, I also meant to reply to what you commented above, too…
It’s cool that you have steady work and that’s what I found most respectable. In my experience, as long as the the “fun projects” remain fun, you’re kept grounded. People tend to grow big egos in this business.
August 22nd, 2011 at 11:24 am
If I do need a back drop I usually shoot with green screen. That way I can quickly swap things out depending on the mood i’m trying to set. Most of the time I can find an interesting enough back ground that I don’t have to worry about it. I don’t do much studio photography so I’ve never really need a lot of backdrop selection.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:52 pm
Hey I was wondering how you mounted your monitor to the “3 Legged DSLR RIg”. I couldn’t tell from the picture. And do you have any recommendations for a follow focus other than the usb one used on the rig in the picture. Thanks.
July 27th, 2011 at 9:49 pm
I used a pre cut 1 1/4 inch 1/4 20 thread stud and attached a cold shoe adapter.
July 29th, 2011 at 8:12 pm
Thanks good sir.
July 29th, 2011 at 8:12 pm
I see you are using the ePhoto Dslr Rig in your most recent post on the friction arm. What are your thoughts on this rig? It seems like the best price for a rig with follow focus for $310. Thanks in advance.
August 19th, 2011 at 11:54 am
yo man! you’ve been a huge help in regards to introducing folks to basics on the MPC 1000. Much of the tutorials are not produced with the same value as yours and are not basic or articulated well enough. just a suggestion but it would be cool to have an mpc 1000 section on this webpage with associated gear listed and your tutorials vlogged.
big thanks again man!
August 19th, 2011 at 1:57 pm
That’s a good Idea Josh. I’ll put it on my list of things to do.
September 6th, 2011 at 4:34 am
HEY, man i need an important info if you can help me; i am planing to buy a h1 cause the h4n is a bit to pricy. so can i use a xlr to 3.5 jack converter when using a ntg2 ? if so can i use your awsome bluetooth idea with the xlr mic ?
thanks a bunch for all your ideas.
September 24th, 2011 at 9:43 am
Not to put you in a bad mood.. but I think this company borrowed your concept ..
ALZO Shock Multi-Mount
September 24th, 2011 at 11:53 am
Yea, but the price is still very high and that thing is huge. Mounting that much gear on your hot shoe seems a little over board. I was wondering when someone would grab up my idea and start producing it. But no bad mood here, my shock mounts covered the cost of two 3d printers so i’m still happy. I’ll just have to keep working on new stuff ;).
September 26th, 2011 at 9:54 am
Hi and thanks for your videos….looking fwd to your upcoming one on the Tascam DR-40.
I am interested in the bracket you made for the JuicedLink CX-214 though I have the CX-211. Have you heard anything or have reason to believe it will fit the same way?
Thanks,
Brian
September 26th, 2011 at 8:48 pm
The JuicedLink CX211 doesn’t really need an adapter. You can simply add a cold shoe adapter to the top and bottom and you should be good to go. If you’re having trouble finding them check out this earlier post.
October 7th, 2011 at 12:54 pm
hello! At firts, I would like to congrats to you, for this website. I really like it.
What I want to know, is true, that we can use an IPAD as a dslr monitor, for video?
thank you!
sorry about my english.
October 9th, 2011 at 7:45 pm
Hi Deejay i was hoping you could give me some advice in regards to buying an audio setup. I was thinking of buying a rode videomic to capture audio but im a bit confused about what device to buy that will actually record the audio. I keep seeing the zoom h1 and h4n popping up but i was wondering whether i need something as expensive as the h4n if im just going to be using the rode mic instead. Would the h1 be a more sutable option? Or does the h4n have much better option that would make it a worthy investment. Thanks for you time,
Steve
October 31st, 2011 at 10:47 am
Hi DeeJay!
Very impressive site ! I need an advice if it is possible. I plan to make sort of a mini studio with 3 5D mark II cameras, for shooting videos. The question is how can I do have full control of the cameras from an computer (mac or pc)? It is possible ?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Razvan
November 20th, 2011 at 8:56 pm
You can control your 5D cameras using canon’s EOS utility software by plugging all of your cameras in to your computer via USB.
November 1st, 2011 at 6:12 pm
Hey,
I watched your video on youtube regarding remote IR video recording.
Do you happen to know if the same thing is possible on a Nkon D7000 ?
thank you,

No idea. I don’t own any Nikon cameras right now so I haven’t had a chance to run any tests.
November 2nd, 2011 at 5:55 pm
I just wanted to take a second to say how much I appreciate your work. I stumbled across your channel and blog while researching some audio gear, and I’ve found your posts to be endlessly helpful, entertaining, and informational.
In case you haven’t heard it enough already, thank you.
November 3rd, 2011 at 11:54 am
Hi DeeJay
I shoot with a Canon Mark III 1D and 1DS. Will a Lilliput external monitor work with either of these cameras? I would like to use it for portrait shooting without having to worry about my back.
Great youtube videos. Looking forward to your reply
Vince
November 20th, 2011 at 8:50 pm
The monitor will work with your camera, just remember that the color isn’t as good on the lilliput as it is on the camera’s monitor.
November 3rd, 2011 at 12:09 pm
Hey DeeJay, I just had quick question. Any idea on when you might have more H1 Shock Mounts available for purchase?
November 20th, 2011 at 8:42 pm

Found your videos on YouTube and really have enjoyed your insight on alot of great ideas and products. My bank account doesn’t probably like you since your draining it with constantly giving me new things I want to buy. I’ll look forward to future posts and videos. I know sometimes all the hard work put into something like this isn’t always known by others but I can see the effort you have done here and I appreciate it.
January 10th, 2012 at 11:52 am
DeeJay,
Your videos are great…informative and fun to watch. I am new to the vieo scene and am setting up my 5DMK2. I have a Zoom H1 and want to get sound directly into my camera to reduce work in post. Do I use the Sescom LN2MIC-ZMH4-MON if I also want to be able to monitor sound as it is being recorded? What settings do I need to make to the camera (if any) to get the sound recorded directly with the video?
I picked up one of the Noob Shock mounts and it works great.
Thank you and keep the videos coming.
January 15th, 2012 at 9:26 am
Where are you Deejay? We wanna see some new reviews and videos from you man. Please come back soon!
January 21st, 2012 at 3:12 pm
Hey DeeJay, I recently purchased the rebel t3i, I love it to death, but when I put the video on to my laptop (macbook pro i5 processor) its very “HD” but there seem to be a lot of fuzzies in the shot as if the video is animated. I am very new to this whole t3i and I use imovie but still the same results. I also tried using the cinestyle and marvel still the same thing, Iam trying to achieve a more overall clear picture like youself. If you can shed me with some of your pure genius on what I could do I would be most appreciative.
February 9th, 2012 at 7:58 pm
Not sure what you mean by “fuzzies” Do you have any examples I can check out?
February 10th, 2012 at 11:15 am
Deejay,
Please give me some advice on where I can get that similar bracket you had in your audio rig for the ZI8
Thanks
February 10th, 2012 at 11:20 am
Robert, The mount is a very old flash bracket. You can find similar brackets for around $20 on amazon. Here’s a link.
February 10th, 2012 at 12:15 pm
Deejay the link isnt working
But i very much appreciate your response
Also please give advice
I want a quick and throw up set up
kodak zi8 or playsport

Hello Sir..
I have a Canon 600D.. i am facing a problem while making a video clip. when i start to make a video clip it automatically stops after 8 seconds, sometime it goes for a minute but mostly it stops after 6 or 8 seconds.. can you guide me about the settings of the camera for video filming??
Note: The camera is not in a crop mode.

Saif,
Your problem is probably with your SD card. You need a faster, high quality card to support the fast storage of data from video. Try it and let us know.

Hi DeeJay. 🙂
I’m wondering what your thoughts are on the Filmcity Matte Box Rod Support 9″ Camera Cage for dslr’s. My big thing I’m looking for is a cage that I can mount audio and side tv’s to. This setup includes the matte box, which I think is a good deal, but is there still a way to mount audio and a side tv to it?
Love the review videos you post. Your ending “please subscribe” looks are priceless.

Great tutorials. Always concise, informed, and watchable. So many tutorials online have horrible audio, the host rambles or doesn’t seem to understand what the viewers are interested in learning, and the video in general is an indulgent experience for the host that lasts way too long. Your videos are just right, and you also make them fun to watch with your down-to-earth personality. Thanks for doing a great job, I’ve learned a lot!

Greetings,
I am planning on buying a Tascam DR-05 and using it to record audio for my T2i. I am going to use the Tascam on a boom pole for now until I save up enough for a shotgun mic which I will plug into the Tascam DR-05.
What are your suggestions for mounting the Tascam DR-05 on a boom pole?
Would your designed shock mount hold it securely enough for it never to fall despite shaking and bumping the pole into something? If not, could I modify it somehow to make it secure?

What is your opinion of the Canon 7d vs the 60d? I would be using this for both stills and video [wedding photography and independent filmmaking]. It seems that both are similar but I think the 7d might be the better of the two, but I am not sure how. Dig the sites and videos.
April 18th, 2012 at 5:57 pm
The 60d has more to offer in the video department. The 7d is a better stills camera with a great build quality. Maybe a cheap t2i for video and a 7d for photo’s would be a better option.

Hi DeeJay!
I just bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop with integrated graphics. I was wondering if you knew of any external graphics cards for laptops that connect through USB or Firewire, and are preferably under $150. I will not necessarily be using such a device to connect more monitors, but mainly to accelerate the graphics performance of the laptop itself. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

Hello… I’m a technically challenged old guy who has owned a 7d for a year and is still trying to figure it out. Most of my footage has grain in it. I understand that it needs to be in manual, and the ISO needs to be below 1000.
So a couple of questions. Is there some other setting I’m missing that is giving it grain?
What are the best settings for night time when you are shooting street scenes?
Thanks…
I can pay a little bit for some of your time if you would be willing to walk me through some of this stuff on the phone…

DeeJay,
I really love your site and have learned so much from you. Thank you!
I make short narrative films, and could really use a tutorial on how best to record on the Zoom H4n.
I have seen all your other tutorials, but I am wanting one that covers best recording settings & configuration, boom mike placement techniques, being organized with filenames, tips, etc.
If you have any resources you can share than that would be great.
Thanks, and keep up the great work!
May 21st, 2012 at 7:58 am
Michael, the easiest way I’ve found to manage my files is to check and set the date and time of all my devices to a single clock (usually my cell phone) before the start of each shoot. When each device creates a new file it will apply a date and time stamp. When I’m done collecting all the audio and video from a days work, I just drop everything into a folder and sort by date and time created. All of the audio and video end up right next to the video clips they were shot with.
If you set your file properties to show date and time, you’ll be able to see gaps between takes as large gaps in the minute counter. I then create folders for each of the groups and drop the grouped folders into a folder with the date of the shoot. I usually scan a copy of our hand written shot list and save the PDF in the folder so I have an idea of what scenes are in each folder after the fact. It takes about an 30 minutes to an hour at the end of each day to get this work done but it’s very very useful if you have to manage a large number of files.
At the end of a 2 or 3 week shoot, I go back and look at each of the PDF files in each folder and create a master file that has the scenes listed that were shot on each date. That way when you hand the final files off to the editor they can look at the master sheet and know exactly where to find each scene or groups of scenes.
May 21st, 2012 at 8:14 am
Thanks for the quick response. Great tip.
I didn’t do this, and had lots of issues with manually syncing. What a pain. I will try this. I also had been using multiple SD cards as they filled up. So when I put a new one in, the numbering starts over.
What about the settings? What format do you recommend? 96/24.wav, mp3, etc? Low pass?
May 22nd, 2012 at 8:21 am
With the $28 field monitor on the canon 7d, can you view the onboard monitor simultanteously? So that the director can view while the operator operates off the onboard monitor?
Thanks
May 22nd, 2012 at 9:23 am
The screen on the camera will go blank when you use the monitor.
June 30th, 2012 at 9:07 am
Hello there,
You have fantastic information, but I am overwhelmed and don’t know what to do. Need your advice.
I’ve got a Canon 60D and a bunch of lenses, and run Magic Lantern. I haven’t done anything for audio yet. What should I do?
I am willing to invest in some kind of expansion rig to mount an external microphone (H4N? or ME66/K6?) and also want to be able to get better audio into the camera (JuicedLink or Fiio E6?). I think you’ve shown me what to do to get the audio monitoring out (Fiio E6 + Sescom cable). I still want to be able to have an attached flash on the hotshoe, so whatever rig/mounting needs to support that.
Lighter and less expensive is better, but I’m willing to invest if the gear will last for a while with good quality.
Thanks for your help on this!

I really want to purchase the Lilliput 5D-II/O/P for my 5D but would love to use the monitor with my EX3 which only has component, composite and SDI outputs. Any thoughts on ways to make the monitor work for both cameras?
July 12th, 2012 at 6:57 am
Dear Deejay, I am planning on purchasing a new/used camcorder as a secondary camera to my 60D as i saw in one of your YouTube video where you at using a Vixia. I’m stuck between a few models and need your advice.
The canon vixia hf g10 sounds just awesome but it says that there isn’t any Shutter priority is this a must have? To have a full manual control?
Then I thought of the S11, sortof like the S10/100 just with more memory and should just purchase some ND filters for the thread on the camcorder.
I would really like you opinion.
Cheers from Ryan Stark
July 12th, 2012 at 9:42 am
I’ve used the s10 and it’s a pretty good little camera, but not so great in low light. We some times use it for behind the scenes because it’s small enough and easy to hand off to someone standing on set. It’s footage usually takes some work to blend with DSLR footage though.
On the other hand, the HF G10 has some of the best low light performance out of consumer camcorders in general. It also has good bokeh and full manual controls. The IS works very well and it’s usually pretty easy to blend the footage in with DSLR footage. We sometimes rent the XA10 which is basically the same camera plus a handle and XLR jacks and it does very well. I would say go with the HF g10 if you can.
July 13th, 2012 at 8:22 pm
I like to thank you for replying to my comment, and right of now I have decided to go for the G10. But due to being from the UK, stock of this very camera are shallow and trying to get something like this imported is expensive ($150+ in Customs).
But I was lucky enough to find a new un-opened model being sold for almost £850 which is about $1,320. Just got to hold out till next payday.
Thanks Again,
Ryan Stark

If you ask ebay sellers nicely sometimes they’ll ship it to you with “gift” on the label or write a lower value on the item which should save you some of that crazy tax.
July 14th, 2012 at 6:15 pm
Hi Deejay,
Your videos on youtube are very enjoyable with high quality unlikely others,
I just bought my first dslr, a canon 600d with sigma 30mm,
Keep your great videos and posts!
August 9th, 2012 at 11:12 am
I have a Canon 550d with the new Magic Lantern 2.3 update but my field monitor is not working. Its the Haier RCA monitor. If i turn the camera on, it shows on the field really quick, then goes blank to no input. What do you think the problem is?
-Everything charged
-new cable
-even tried with ML 2.2
-no HDMI for the monitor ‘
Thank you.
August 9th, 2012 at 11:43 am
Sounds like you might have the audio monitor feature turned on in the menu. Check the audio section and turn usb audio monitor off. That should fix your problem.
August 30th, 2012 at 9:25 pm
Hey Deejay Iv’e recently come into the market for a used 5dmk2 I was just wondering, because you’ve recently purchased a 5dmk3 would you be willing to part with your mk2 for a decent price?
August 31st, 2012 at 7:21 am
Sorry James, but it still sees quit a bit of use.
September 6th, 2012 at 2:50 am
Profuse praise for your awsome channel. It’s amazing. I stumbled across it when I googled Juice audio adapter for DSLR’s. It was a lot harder finding your blog and email address. My burning question is what are your outstanding You Tube videos shot on. Crossing my fingers it’s a DSLR? Do you have any videos on DSLR comparison reviews? Looks like your a 7d man? My primary interest is video but I’d love to have a nice still camera as well. And since I don’t have money for both DSLR looks like the way to go. Well you probably get tons of Emails, so I’d be grateful if you answer this one.
September 9th, 2012 at 4:02 am
Ever since the Nikon D90 I’ve wanted to learn more about DSLR filming. Your site is the best resouce I’ve found for complete noobs like myself. Keep up the great work.

December 7th, 2012 at 5:14 pm
Not one I would recommend. Might want to check out the Lilliput 667gl
, just make sure you order a few batteries and you should be good to go.
Hope that helps,

Hi Deejay,
Maybe a kickstarter project worth to check:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/satarii/swivl-multipurpose-motion-platform-for-mobile-and
Great for timelapses and in my mailings with the dev he promised me some decent curve control in the software. Only for the wireless dslr control it would probably already be worth the 149$!
Cheers

Hey DeeJay,
This is going to sound ridiculous I must admit, but I am in a conundrum. I am going to be doing a documentary in March and my filming will be done from my Cannon Rebel T31. I will be a one woman team, filming poetry readings, author interviews, etc. so my problem is that I have no idea what to get.
I have however decided that I’m going to pick up a shoulder mount rig, but I’m at a complete loss for everything else. Most of the time I’ll be on the move and my interviews will all be standing, so I haven’t really figured out what to do about setting up the sound, I watch several of your reviews, but am still unsure of what to get, because I don’t know what would work best in my situation. I’m thinking of an on camera boom, probably one of the Rode Mics with a Micover Windscreen, but I don’t want a lot of background noise with the recording. So I’m also thinking of getting two lav mics. Hearing the recording through my headphones would also be great, and having an on camera LED light. I guess I’m just simply at a loss and need your professional advice on what equipment to get. Please Help.
All the Best,
Roberta Hall

What’s up DJ,
I’m starting a Internet talk show and want to connect 4 wireless mics to my T4i. Do I just need 4 splitters and do u think this will work fine without any distortions and canceling each other out.
February 5th, 2013 at 8:27 pm
For that many systems I would consider getting a small mixing board and then feeding the mixer output into your camera, or get something like this to record all of your audio and sync in post.
4 splitters wouldn’t give you much control over audio levels and leaves you with no protection. Recording dual system with an 8 track recorder would give you the option to record all 4 microphones at 2 different volume levels and give you a lot of options with out much problem.
February 6th, 2013 at 7:13 am
Hi there,
I saw your video about the Haier 7″ HLT71. I am not quiet sure if I would ever really need it for anything. Nonetheless I want it. But before I purchase it I do have a quick question. Will the Haier 7″ HLT71 give me the option of monitoring audio while recording on my T3i / 600D? If it does it would be a cheap workaround for monitoring audio on the T3i.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NiG6xZbHg4
February 6th, 2013 at 9:48 am
It works on the t2i, 60d and 5d mark II with magic lantern, but I don’t think magic lantern has audio out working on the t3i. So it wont do much for you in that department.
May 23rd, 2013 at 6:54 am
Do you know if Magic Lantern is working on audio out for the T3i?
February 7th, 2013 at 9:48 am

Hey thanks for information. I have a canon 60d I’m looking at buying the CPM film tool flyer cage/rig. Does it come with swiss cheese plate and quick release plate? Where do you recommend buying the arms to go on frame, Also, what do you recommend for the follow focus because CPM’s one had bad reviews. Lastly, what do you recommend for a good field monitor?

thanx
May 23rd, 2013 at 6:52 am
Hey Deejay,
I have to say your website and your YouTube is the number one resource for me. I’d really like to say thanks in some way.
I have an extra small monitor (the $28 one you refer to in a tutorial) That I will be glad to send you if you have a p.o. box or mailing address I can send it to.
It’s not much, but you could have a spare – I’m not using it and I thought I could show a token of thanks.
Thanks again for all of your help.

I am looking to get an external mic for my canon 60d. I do a lot of work with my Canon XA10 video camera, but have started shooting with my new canon 60d.
I have an smx-10 azden mic that creates lots of hiss. I used that with my old canon vixia hv40 and it worked great.
I have been looking for an external mic. The two I am looking at is the Rode Video MicPro and the zoom h1 with the sescom -25db cable so I can plug that right into the camera and use that as the microphone.
The zoom is about 150 bucks cheaper but not sure if it will be that same as the shotgun microphone.
I do a lot of documentary work with Marching Bands, Drum and Bugle Corps, and other musical groups. sometimes I am far away and other times I am really close up.
Got any suggestions. I am trying to avoided syncing my audio, but I do that all the time in Final Cut Pro.
August 20th, 2013 at 3:37 am
Hi DeeJay,
Great website. I saw your lots of video on YouTube. I just find some information about field monitors. I find your website again. I want to say you did much work for us. Thanks.

Hi DeeJay, really like your great videos on YouTube.
Wonder if there’s any idea on DIY a “mountable” tripod (mountable means really “mounting” on your own body)?
I know you can use tripod when you wanna film yourself. But it’s not really safe when in busy areas (e.g. equipment likely to get robbed)…
I’ve been thinking of “hacking” a used umbrella for this “mountable” tripod.
Wonder if there’s any funny ideas?
Or if anyone can get around the mentioned situations?
Great to learn from you guys.
February 2nd, 2014 at 3:49 am
Hi, I believe the Irig Pro just came out.
http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irigpro/
Perhaps you can do a video comparison between the Irig Pre, and how it works with DSLRs. I’m curious to know if its worth the $110 price difference.
Also I was wondering how the preamps on the Irig Pre/Pro compares to the preamps on recorders like Zoom H4n? Do you think it can work with non-XLR recorders like Zoom H1? Thanks!
Btw, very much liked your Irig Pre video.
February 2nd, 2014 at 8:35 am
The pro connects via 30 pin or lightning connector which doesn’t really make it a very good option for DSLR use. If you wanted to use it with your phone or ipad as an independent field recorder or for it’s intended purpose as a multitrack recorder it could be handy.

I looked at the upper right to see if you had a folder labeled “Monitors”.
So , in 2014 which field monitor would you buy ? Would you still buy the lilliput or the newer model ? How about the pro am, feelword?
March 6th, 2014 at 8:49 pm
Hello Deejay,
I am trying to put together a live music video rig and so far I have an EOS M and would like to focus on the audio side of things for this setup. Any recommendations? This will be used in a fairly loud venue so mic choice will be important. Trying to stay a bit compact also. Was looking at the irig pre as an option. Do you think the EOS M needs an external pre or is the onboard pre decent?

I am not sure if you were the one who introduced me to the manfrotto stud from 4DSLR, but the guy who makes them is making a “version 2” that looks much nicer. It’s a stud that adds a 15mm rod & 1/4-20 to the side of manfrotto video heads. I use the crap out of the original ones that i have and though you might want to check them out:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/4dslr/4dslr-tripod-stud
I am not affiliated with or financially invested in this project, i just think they are freaking awesome and a great way to build a simple on-tripod rig without too much nonsense
May 12th, 2014 at 4:32 pm
Just found your site on you tube.
Saw your video on wireless set up for microphones.
What make of microphone would you recommend for recording a 5 person Rock band? Lots of loud audio. Would like your recommendations for different situations.
Thanks,
June 13th, 2014 at 4:54 pm
Hey DeeJay,
I just purchased a used Zoom H4N and while tinkering with it I wondered if there was an issue with it or if I’m doing something wrong. So far I’ve just messed with recordings using the built-in microphones and I can’t seem to get a decent recording volume. I have the unit set to stereo mode at 100% record volume. When I talk in the mic, which is positioned about a foot away, I’m only registering at about -24 DB…is this normal? I try to bring it up in post and it still sounds way to low and unusable. I’m new to audio and totally aware that I may be doing something wrong. I just want to make sure I didn’t buy a broken used unit. Thanks for the help!
September 7th, 2014 at 12:53 pm
Hey DeeJay, are you ever going to come back? Its been nearly 4 mo since your last post… 🙁

Hello,
I bought the exact mounts for the Nexas 7 linked on your youtube video and just set it all up. Works well. Thanks.
I also bought the Nexus 7 and DSLR Controller recently due to my Lilliput dying for no apparent reason.
I have 1 question. I have a Canon 7D and have the Nexus 7 setup as a monitor. I am not getting audio meters on the Nexus 7. I have seen videos on youtube that show audio meters on DSLR Controller. Is there a way to access these? Your help would be appreciated. I can run ML on my 7D and I see them on the camera LCD but it would be nice to have them on the DSLR Controller monitor.
Thanks for your help and love your videos!
December 23rd, 2014 at 5:16 pm
Audio meters are supported naively by cameras that have them like the 6d and 5d mark III. There might be a method using magic lantern, but I no longer have a 7d to test it on.
January 19th, 2015 at 3:39 pm
Hi, I bought the DSLR Controller which works fine BUT it won’t let me playback the video. There’s a circle in the middle of the screen which is circling and underneath that are buttons (pause, previous, next) and to the left of it there is a tiny lock icon and it is locked. Is this lock causing no playback? Can you please show me how to playback my clips?
You can reply at nafilms@icloud.com

Been following your site for couple years now – Good stuff!
Just started checking into your podcasts – holy toledo! I probably learned more from the podcasts in a few hours than years of searching the web. Not sure why I was hesitant to try the podcast – probably a leap to a new format – glad that I did.
I’ve got a ton of suggestions – where should I email them to?
Keep up the good work – will try to join the next live stream!

I toured with a band called “the hotcarls” when I was younger and a fan found me some old school stickers at a thrift store, got me drunk, helped me place them all over my bass. She coated it with something, no idea what, but it’s been like that for 15 years or better.

I know how you feel about kick starter project, with the exception of the Z camera, how is that WORKING, but was wondering if you planned to talk about the Garbox, which will allow you to ditch the laptop? I know you like to travel light.
Regards,

I’ll take a look, but without seeing the app in action it’s kind of hard to see a good reason to keep it.

I ride a motorcycle surf, ski, and also do a lot of camping so the ability to ditch my laptop even with minimal editing app seems very “sexy” as you would say, at a great price point. I can see cutting short video podcasts out on my Harley or in the woods with this and a g-tech rugged external drive since the flash memory ion this first unit is a bit small for 4k. Keep up the good work love your stuff.

I am interested in your NOOB Advanced Shock Mount adapter. Do you know when you are going to get more in stock? Thanks!

Hey DeeJay,
Long time fan of yours here, love your posts and input on filmmaking! I’ve got a question for you about camera judder on the GH4 in 4K. I’ve only started using 4K more often and have noticed a lot of camera judder on slow camera or subject movement vs 1080. Have you had this issue and if so do you have any remedies?
Thanks in advance!

Wes, are you using an image stabilized lens? That’s the only time I’ve run into that kind of problem.
