17Dec My Myk compact condenser microphone
Rode’s Videomic has been one of the leading affordable camera mounted microphone options for quite some time. Even so, there is still a lot of room for improvement. Many people don’t like the large size of the Videomic or the shock mount system and I personally find it hard to close 9 volt battery door on the VideoMic […]
15Dec Canon 6d v.s. 5d mark III low light testing
I planned on saving the high ISO tests for the video review, but I’ve received enough requests that I’ll go ahead and post my early ISO results between the Canon 6d and Canon 5d mark III. I am by no means a testing expert when it comes to resolution or high ISO testing, instead I simply […]
15Dec Wasabi GoPro HERO 3 batteries and charger
As with most manufactures the GoPro Hero 3’s batteries have a bit of a markup. $20 plus shipping per 1050 mAh battery can add up fast. When I went digging around for better alternatives I found the Wasabi GoPro Hero 3 battery and charger kit for $25 +$4 shipping on Amazon. My decision to go with a set of these […]
14Dec GoPro Hero 3 app, not much of a selling point
The first thing you’ll notice about this photograph is that i’m not holding a camera in the “live view” screen display. That’s because there is so much delay between what the camera is seeing and what the tablet is displaying that I was easily able to photograph the tablet before the screen caught up with […]
13Dec Canon 6d Firmware and software updates
Canon just released a software update to DPP last night that allows the program to support RAW files from the Canon 6d. It’s a little surprising to me that this wasn’t ready to go at launch, was Canon rushing to get this camera out before Christmas? Also it looks like the first Canon 6d firmware update has […]
12Dec Free Time Lapse software that’s easy to use: GoPro Cineform Studio
I have a lot of good things to say about the GoPro Hero 3, but I’ll save them for the full review. What I want to point out here is that the free Cineform Studio app on Gopro’s site is an excellent, easy, full functioning, time lapse application. Simply click the “Import New Files” button on the left, […]
11Dec Swivl Motion platform for Mobile and DSLR devices
So this looks like a very interesting Kickstarter campaign. Basically it’s a turret platform for your DSLR, phone, or tablet with 360 degrees of rotation and up to 20 degrees of tilt. There is also a built in usb controller for your DSLR and if you pledge for the silver model (85 left at the […]
11Dec Canon 6d decoded battery issues
Over the last week of testing the Canon 6d I didn’t release I had only been using official Canon batteries. When I went to change one out last night I got a “Communication with Canon LP-E6 battery is irregular”. I checked the battery in the Canon 5d mark III and the Canon 7d and both gave […]
