31May ART USB DUAL preamp video review

I finally had a chance to do some testing on the ART USB DUAL preamp. The quality and range of its preamps aren’t life changing. There is a bit of high end roll off and the audio ends up sounding a little bit muddy. But overall it did as good or better then I would […]

30May Zoom H1 Shock mount in the wild.

I just received the first pictures of the Zoom H1 Shock mount in the wild from Paula.  She wanted me to note that the shock mount is turned around in the photo. I probably wouldn’t have noticed if she hadn’t pointed it out. The unit looks nice on her canon 60D, I kind of feel like a […]

29May Juicedlink DS214 adapter ready to go.

It seems easy to just come up with a good idea and say poof “here it is”, but in truth, designs made with the makerbot arn’t quit that simple. The stack of 5 in the picture are just a few of the designs that didn’t work out. Some fell apart because of settings, some were just […]

24May Zoom H1 shock mount adapter, Second Run.

Parts are in! More of the Zoom H1 shock mounts are now available. First come first serve guys. If you need shipping outside of the United States select “other countries”. This adds $2 to the cost in order to cover overseas shipping. SOLD OUT Juiced link DS214 mounts coming soon.

22May More Zoom H1 shock mount spam.

Most of my week has been taken up with the Zoom H1 shock mount adapter I’ve been working on. A few people wanted me to step on it and pitch it off a roof to make sure they would stand up to normal use. Turns out they do. I was also trying to work out […]

19May ART USB Dual Preamp camera mount adapter.

I had some time last night to build that 1/4 20 adapter for the ART USB dual preamp I ordered last week. As you will probably notice the 1/4 20 mount positions the unit upside down. That wasn’t my original plan, I actually wanted to drill and tap the case on both sides and just thread the […]

18May Zoom H1 shock mount adapter, first run.

I received a few more of the parts I need to build those Zoom H1 shock mount adapters I’ve been working on. I’m not really sure how popular these will be, so for now, there are 6 made up and ready to ship out. The price is $10 plus $2 shipping and includes the shock mount and […]

16May Juicedlink DS214 full Review.

I spent most of my Sunday testing and playing with the Juicedlink DS214, I ran a few test on my Canon 7d and on my Canon t2i with the Magic lantern firmware update. As a small audio amplifier and a device that disables AGC on the 7d it works great. The gain is very clean […]

15May Juicedlink DS214 adapter and Zoom h1 shock mount.

Finished up the Black versions of both the Juicedlink DS214 adapter and the Zoom H1 shock mount adapter, both of which turned out great. I added a cold shoe mount on both the top and bottom of the Juicedlink adapter, and cleaned up the design on the shock mount to include tie wrap holes across […]

14May Zoom h1 and Tascam DR-05 shock mount.

A few weeks back I mentioned that I was working on a design for a Zoom H1 shock mount. Now that I’ve got the 3d printer up and running I can test out my design. I must say it works very well. I added a cold shoe adapter to the bottom of the shock mount, […]
