25Nov Watson Duo LCD Charger battery plates

Several of you were asking about the charger plates for the Watson Duo LCD charger I wrote about last week. Here we have a few different flavors, they look the same from the front of the box, but each contains a different type of battery plate. On the left we have Canon BP-900 plate, in […]

25Nov Seiki 39 inch 4k monitor price drop $489

If you’re looking to move up to a 4k editing monitor, prices just got better. The Seiki 39 inch 4k panel just dropped in price from $699 to $489 with free Amazon prime shipping. That gives you just shy of 4 times the working area of a 1080p panel (3840 × 2160p). This basically means you can […]

22Nov KomputerBay 64GB SDXC cards on sale for $34

Thanks to Johnny for point this out. Looks like Amazon has the infamous KomputerBay brand of SDXC cards on sale right now for just under $34 with free shipping. That’s less then half the price of most other 64GB SDXC cards on the market. I’ve had pretty good luck with Komputerbay’s CF cards but I […]

22Nov Sony 32GB SDHC 94MB/s cards on Sale

Amazon Black Friday deals continue to cycle through. Today they are offering up Sony 32GB SDHC 94MB/s cards for $29.99 with free shipping. That’s about $16 cheaper than Sandisks 32GB 80MB/s cards. I’ve never actually tried any of these high speed Sony 32GB SDHC cards, but at that price I went ahead and ordered two for testing. […]

22Nov Free Adobe Lightroom 5 Training

I made the transition from Canon’s photo editing software to Adobe’s Lightroom a few years ago. Once you get used to it, you’ll find it much easier to use for both editing and organizing your photos. Lightroom room also provides automatic lens correction information for more than just Canon lenses and offers up a lot more editing options […]

21Nov Crucial M500 960GB SSD $527

If you’re in the market for a very large SSD, Amazon has the Crucial M500 960GB SSD on sale right now for $527. That’s a pretty healthy price drop considering drives this big were over $1000 this time last year. This is one of those Amazon Black friday deals (even though its not for another […]

21Nov Used Gear Watch – Canon t2i body with 4 batteries and grip

Even with two 5d mark III’s in my collection, I’ve continued to use a pair of Canon t2i bodies in my regular workflow. With Magic Lantern installed the t2i is still one of the best values for video shooters out there. Magic Lantern gives you full audio support as well as headphone monitoring and a […]

20Nov Used Gear watch – Black magic Cinema Camera $1610 with shipping

Although the Blackmagic Cinema Camera isn’t my cup of tea, it’s still a pretty decent camera. Current retail on a BMCC camera is right at $2,000, but right now on ebay you can pick up this Blackmagic Cinema Camera for just $1,584 + 26 shipping. That $400 in savings could go towards lens, audio gear, or […]

20Nov Switronix TorchLED Bolt sale

The TorchLED bolt by Switronix is one of the few LED camera mounted lights I’ve used that actually puts out enough good light to be useful. It’s bright, it’s battery powered, and it’s portable (check out my review here). Right now through December 31st B&H has the TorchLED bolt with battery kit on sale for […]

20Nov Tehkron Gopro hero 3 Cage Pro – A Blunt Review

The Tehkron Cage pro showed up this morning. I forgot I had preordered this thing after seeing it on twitter a few months ago. For those of you not familiar with the Tehkron Cage pro, it’s basically a hero 3 cage that allows you to power and charge your hero 3 with standard Canon LP-E6 […]
