11Dec TP-LINK TL-MR3040 wireless field monitor with DSLR controller
Finally had a chance to sit down and hack the TP-Link TL-MR3040 Wireless unit.

Note: Keep in […]

09Dec Aputure V-Screen VS-3 7 inch IPS HDMI field Monitor features
I’ve been spending a little more time with the Aputure VS-3 monitor. One of the more interesting features is it’s audio level meter display. When enabled in the menu (under “volume bar”) it gives you a visualization of the incoming audio on the hdmi port. Unfortunately this doesn’t do you much good on the Canon 5d […]

Not sure what the heck is going on with the 6d, is Canon already planning to drop it? The price has fallen yet again on Amazon, yesterday it was $1500, now you can pick it up for $1415 with free shipping. I wonder why the price is bouncing around so much. You’re thoughts?

The Canon 6d bounces around in price quite a bit, but the average price up until recently has been around $1700. After the round of black Friday and cyber Monday sales started to taper off, the Canon 6d remains at $1507 with free shipping on Amazon. Is this the new standard price for a 6d […]
