09Nov First look at the Z-cam E1 camera 4k M43 body
I often complain about kickstarter projects, over the years I’ve had bad luck with ruffly two out of every 3 campaigns I’ve contributed to. However I do still occasionally put my money down on things that look extremely interesting and the Z-cam E1 camera looked good. The promise of the kickstarter campaign was a Gopro sized 4k […]
20Sep Panasonic LX100 setup guide for 4k shooting
There are a lot of reviews floating around complaining about the Panasonic LX100’s video mode. Out of the box with factory defaults, I would agree, the video features on the LX100 are pretty clunky and poorly setup. However with a little bit of tweaking and the use of the custom setup menu, you can easily […]
19Sep A touch hipster, Wood Panasonic LX100 Grip from J.B. Design
Above is a bag from J.B. Camera Design. They make “hand crafted” wooden base plates and handles for small cameras. While that sort of thing is usually something I poke fun at, my recent purchase of a Panasonic LX100 has forced me to start looking at that sort of thing. Other than hand crafted wood […]
13Jun Seiki Pro SM40UNP, finally a 40 inch 4k 60hz monitor
I’ve been using the Samsung U28D590D 28 inch 4k panel for almost a year now. It was one of the first 4k 60hz panels to hit the market last year and at the time I was very enthusiastic to have all the pixels I could get in a single panel. The only problem for me is […]
07Mar StarTech Universal USB 3.0 4K Laptop Docking Station Review
I’ve been using the MSI GS60 for the last 4 or 5 months as a high powered editing laptop. Lately I’ve been wondering if it could end up being a desktop replacement, so I started searching for some kind of docking station. After a bit of research I came across the Startech Universal 4k docking […]
02Jan MSI GS60 Ghost pro 4k Hard drive upgrade
I finally had a chance to sit down and film the M.2 hard drive upgrade on the MSI GS60 editing laptop I picked up. The total tear down and reassembly time was a little less then an hour and I only ended up with one extra screw (no idea where that goes). The most nerve wrecking […]
24Dec MSI GS60 Ghost Laptop M.2 SSD upgrade
I’ve been doing a bit of research on the MSI GS60 Ghost laptop and I think i’m just about ready to start upgrading. From what I’ve gathered in forums as well as the MSI manual, the GS60 has two (type 2280) 80mm M.2 SSD slots and a single 2.5 inch bay. I just received the Crucial 512GB […]
23Dec New Video Editing laptop MSI GS60 Ghost pro 4k-080
My old editing laptop managed to eject flames from the side vent after an afternoon of editing on the deck of a local bar in Eureka’s foggy winter weather. Taking my old Dell XPS 15 apart I found the GPU portion of the motherboard completely fried. Three solid years of use was a good run […]
20Jun Panasonic HX-A500 4k POV camera for $399
Many were expecting to see a 4k Gopro Hero 4, but it looks like Panasonic is going to beat Gopro to the punch with the release of the Panasonic HX-A500 POV camera. The HX-A500 uses a very similar design to Panasonic’s HX-A100 released last year with a new small 1.5 inch monitor added to the dongle. Seems […]
12Jun Panasonic Lumix FZ1000, 4k for $897?
The announcement for the Panasonic FZ1000 happened at midnight last night but it’s been bouncing around the rumor mill for a few weeks now. The Fz1000 looks like it’s designed to compete directly with the Sony RX10. Both cameras are crossover “all in one” super zoom hybrids and both cameras share the same sensor. Where the Panasonic […]
