21Jan Flashpoint DSLR Camera Cage – First impressions
The Flashpoint DSLR Camera cage showed up while I was out of town over the weekend. A few of you were asking if the cage had enough room for a battery grip, the answer is yes. In fact you can loosen the two thumb screws on either side of the unit to adjust the height up […]

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 […]
05Dec Case Logic SLRC-202 – Road Test
The Case Logic SLRC-202 has been my go to light weight travel bag for almost 4 years and i’m about to test out their 25 year warranty. When i’m on the road and don’t have a lot of room to pack, this bag is usually just about right. One camera body with lens, one zoom, […]
19Nov Audio Technica Pro 88w VHF transmitter Review
In general the closer a microphone can be placed to the talent, the better audio quality you’ll end up with in post. Field recorders do a great job but it can be hard to hide in frame, adding a boom microphone helps, but if you’re working by yourself it might be hard to get the microphone […]
26Oct Very Classy HTPC build with a nMEDIAPC Red Wood Computer case
I figured while I was on the path of computer construction I’d go ahead and update my HTPC. The old P4 machine that I’ve used for years just wasn’t cutting it any more and it’s a pain to drag out my laptop when I want to watch a movie. After searching for some case options, I […]
17Sep Mecury playback engine GTX 670 v.s. GTX 285 speed test
Just made it back from Boston on Saturday night and had a little bit of time to run some rendering speed tests on the GTX 670 and the GTX 285 with CS6 (finally made the upgrade). I used two timelines, the first I’ll call the “Easy timeline” which is composed of a 2 minute and 42 second […]
06Jul Canon 40mm f2.8 STM lens Hands on Review Video
The Canon 40mm f2.8 lens sits in a sweet spot between Canon’s 50mm f1.8 and 50mm f1.4 lens offerings. At f2.8 it probably wouldn’t be my first choice for low light shooting, but it’s compact size and focusing distance of .98 feet make it a very interesting travel lens. Sharpness on the Canon 40mm […]
26Mar Panasonic RP-HTX7 headphones – short review
Every time these headphones appear in one of my videos, I get questions about them. You are looking at a pair of Panasonic RP-HTX7 headphones. I had to do some digging to find out when I actually bought this pair and it looks like I’ve been using them since April of 2008. So almost 4 […]
30Sep Matin Outlast leather DSLR hand strap – Review
You might know from this previous post, that I have a soft spot for DSLR hand straps, and I’ve been happy with the $7.49 hand strap I picked up a few months back, but after seeing the Matin Outlast leather hand grip pop up on Amazon a last month, I decided to pull the trigger on […]
