21Aug Android devices as your next field monitor and camera controller?

A few months back I wrote a post about the possible use of android devices as a Camera monitor slash controller for your Canon DSLR. It only took about 3 months for the guys over at dslrcontroller to almost make it a reality. I say almost because the video record mode isn’t working quit yet in the […]

31Jul SmallHD DP4 first impressions.

Above are the SmallHD DP4 and the Sony CLM V55 monitors. The size and resolution is about the same but the smallHD’s pixels are closer together. Both monitors blink but, from early testing, it seems like the Sony CLM v55 recovers faster. The upside to the DP4 is that in record mode you can choose […]

14Jul Empty monitor space on the Sony CLM v55 with Canon DSLRS.

I finally had a some time this evening to run a few proper tests with the Sony CLM V55 monitor and go through the menus. I will admit that I have a little bit of buyers remorse. Although the image is crisp and the colors look very good the monitor has no stretch or adjustment […]

24May Android Cellphones could be your next field monitor.

I was catching up on my tech news this morning and had a chance to watch Google’s keynote on Gingerbread and HoneyComb. If you’re not sure what those two names mean, basically they represent the next round of operating system upgrades for mobile Android devices like the Motorola Xoom tablet and the HTC thunderbolt. As I watched the keynote […]

01Apr Wireless Canon DSLR remote iPad app.

Source: Philip Bloom I must say that this looks a little fishy. No USB cable, no connections, yet you have video monitoring and camera control through an iPad. The company doesn’t have much information on their website, so i’ll believe it when I see it. If it does actually work I will most likely be […]

17Mar Haier 7″ HLT71 Video review.

So after spending a few days with the Haier 7″ monitor I had a chance to run all the tests I could think of. I also spent some time going through all the settings in the menu. The color and contrast aren’t amazing out of this monitor, and the screen isn’t extremely bright. But It will […]

15Mar Haier 7 Inch monitor, $44 and it works.

A number of you sent e-mails requesting a full review of the Haier 7″ HLT71 monitor. So I went ahead and picked one up. As you can see it showed up today and I must say I’m pleasantly surprised. First thing to note is that it’s actually lighter and thinner (1/4″ thinner) then my Lilliput […]

25Feb More on Adding audio monitoring to your DSLR.

As promised here is the how to video guide, along with a quick demo. Yes My headphones are lime green, I know. Back on subject, you’ll notice in the video that the Red HDMI cable is plugged in and working at the same time as the usb-composite adapter (Canon AVC-400ST is the proper name). Since […]

13Feb Fixing the Blink problem on the Lilliput monitor with the 5d 60d and t2i.

So one of the most irritating things about shooting on pretty much any of canon’s camera line (minus the 7d) is that the HDMI port goes from HD to SD when you press the record button. This normally causes most field monitors to blink, but thanks to a little info from dzoemie you don’t have […]

11Feb Atomos Ninja HDMI ProRes field recorder monitor Released.

To be honest I had almost forgotten about this interesting little product until this morning, when out of the blue I received an e-mail from Atomos letting me know that I still had my place in the pre-order line. Apparently pre orders will start shipping this month. If you haven’t heard of this yet then let me start […]
