23Jun Switronix TorchLED BOLT light panel – Video Review
First, a correction. In the video I say “660mAh battery”, that’s actually a 660Ah battery which equals 6600mAh. After taking the TorchLED BOLT out on a weekend long shoot and spending some time with it, I have to say that I’m very impressed. If you’re in the market for an extremely bright compact battery powered LED light, […]
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 […]
13Jun The Aviator Travel Jib Camera Crane Kickstarter project
The Aviator Travel Jib is basically a collapsible, light weight mini crane. It has a maximum length of 6 feet and a load capacity of 6lbs, yet when Folded up the Aviator Travel Jib is only 24 inches long. Designed with light weight cameras in mind, It’s basically the crane equivalent of the Konova slider, small, […]
22May Flashpoint LCD 8″ Monitor with built in Remote shutter trigger
(Special thanks to Yiannis for pointing this out to me) The Flashpoint LCD 8 inch monitor is an interesting concept. You basically get an 8 inch hdmi monitor that doubles as a remote shutter trigger and wireless standard definition monitor for $499. An 8 inch monitor is right at the limit of what you’d want to […]
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. […]
20Apr Varavon Armor Mini Rig System for the Canon 5D Mark II
The Varavon Armor is an interesting take on the whole cage concept. It doesn’t really protect the entire camera like some other cages out there. Instead it adds extra mounting points on the frame along with a forward facing mounting bracket above the lens for a microphone adapter. It also has some oddly placed handle […]
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 […]
