20Jun Campro Low Profile Triple Hot shoe Light and Sound Bracket
Maybe you need to mount 2 wireless units and a field recorder, or maybe you really need 3 ultra bright TorchLED units in a single place. Whatever you need to mount, the Campro Triple hot shoe gives you a solid place to to do it. I ordered one of these as soon as I found […]
20Jun Double cold shoe adapter bracket price drop
The price for these double cold shoe adapter brackets sometimes jumps all over the place. Last year about this time, I put up this post mentioning that the price was down around $13. I’ve seen it as high as $45 and as low as $18, but this is the first time I’ve found it back at […]
18Jun 4DSLR Zoom h4n cradle adapter – First impressions
The 4DSLR Zoom h4n cradle adapter is a quick release mount for the Zoom h4n with rubber pressure pads that provide some handling noise reduction. The 1/4 20 stud on the bottom of the unit also doubles as a very short 15mm rail, making it easy to mount to a rig or arm with a […]
16Jun Juicedlink RM333 available for pre order.
B&H is now taking preorders for Juicedlink’s newest audio adapter, the RM333 audio pre-amp. The design is an interesting configuration of 3 XLR inputs with what Juicedlink is calling Audio output bracketing. The bracketing system is a built in form of the audio protection I’ve mentioned before. Basically it allows you to record audio on […]
09Jun Canon 7d Firmware Version 2 coming soon? Manual audio controls to be included!
A post from Canon Rumors indicates that Canon briefly posted new features that will be enabled with the soon to be released Canon 7d Firmware Version 2.0 update. As I’ve mentioned before the Canon 7d is a great photography tool, but video features have been lacking since day one. Canon has been offering up many of these features […]
02May Fostex PM0.5n 70W 5″ Active Nearfield Studio Monitors
I’ve received a number of e-mails asking what I use to compare audio samples in some of my tests. Besides a nice set of studio headphones I also use a compact but decent set of Near field Studio monitor speakers. If you’re not familiar with the term “nearfield” it simply means that the speakers are designed to be in […]
26Apr Canon 7d firmware update to fill the gap in Canon’s lineup?
The Canon 5d mark III will set you back $3500 and the 5d mark II will set you back around $2200 and the Canon 7d rounds things out, effectively being the top of Canon’s crop sensor lineup at $1500. Strictly for photography the Canon 7d is a great camera, excellent build quality (all metal), great auto focus system, 8 […]
25Apr Roland R-26 6-Channel Digital Field Audio Recorder
If you don’t think 2 tracks on the Zoom h1 or Tascam DR-05 is enough and the 4 tracks of audio on the Zoom h4n and Tascam Dr-40 don’t do the trick, Roland has released the R-26 6 track recorder. It’s the same basic concept as the h4n and Dr-40 but with an interesting twist. […]
11Apr Letus Talon 1DmkIV cage with the Canon t2i fully loaded
Even though this Letus Talon Cage was designed for the Canon 1D Mark IV, it does a very good job of protecting the fragile plastic body of the Canon T2i and it’s battery grip. The reason I point this out, is that Letus Currently has this Cage on Sale for $250. At $499 the cage […]
10Apr Boom pole mounting option for your field recorder
If you’re looking for a low profile option that allows you to mount your field recorder directly to a boom pole this could be an easy way to go. Basically it’s just a small clamp from a friction arm combined with the very low price metal quick release plates I posted awhile back. It doesn’t […]
