04Apr DIY wireless audio: turning the Audio2000s into a wireless 2 channel portable audio system
I received an E-mail a few weeks ago from Shabazzr. He was wondering if I knew of any way to make the Audio2000s 6032uf UHF dual channel wireless system 100% battery powered. The wireless transmitters already run on batteries so I really just needed to find the spec’s for the receiver and a low price battery that would meet […]
13Mar CPM Camera Rigs Lightweight Gear Head
If you’ve ever had the joy of using a gear head it’s like riding in first class, going back to a fluid head feels like you’ve been bumped back to couch. In the past Gear Head’s would set you back well over $10,000. CPM is now offering the first low price option that I know […]
10Mar Yet another USB Follow focus controller
I’ve slowly warmed up to the Okii USB follow focus as a remote camera controller though the follow focus function still isn’t amazing. When I purchased mine the Okii was $300, now it looks like the price is $400, but at least now it has labels on all of the buttons. Another option is the clunky square shaped Light Craft Helmsmen USB […]
07Mar Lower price alternative to the Sescom Microphone Attenuation Cable
The Sescom Microphone Attenuation Cable does what it’s supposed to do. It reduces the headphone output of the Zoom h1 to a level that the Camera’s microphone input can handle, but the price has always seemed somewhat unreasonable at $27. That’s a quarter of the price of a new Zoom h1 itself. Many of you have asked […]
05Mar NOOB Shock Mount DIY boom pole adapter
I always like to see people find new uses for the Noob shock mount. Chris over at cfphotovideo took 2 of my shock mounts and turned them into a nice homemade boom pole. Proving once again, that you can accomplish a lot with some PVC and some spare time. Check out his site for more info on the build, […]
04Mar Jangus Stereo Wireless Wi Zoom h4n prototype mounting adapter
I’ve been working on a practical setup that combines the Zoom h4n with the Jangus Stereo Wireless adapter. This would allow you to mount your Zoom h4n to the base of your boom pole, monitor your audio, and send a stereo audio back to the camera. This would mean no cables and no syncing issues, […]
23Feb Noob shock mount works with other field recorders
Heiko posted these pictures of the Advanced Zoom H1 shock mount with his Olympus field recorder mounted on a Panasonic Lumix GH2. Although my shock mounts were designed around the Zoom h1, they tend to fit most of the smaller size field recorders without much problem. Thanks for the pictures Heiko!
20Feb Cheapest metal quick release plate on the market, but there’s a catch
I was catching up on the Frugal Film Maker blog and came across Scott’s post about the $12 Sima QR plate. I knew I’d picked up an all metal QR plate for less then that in the past so I started going through my old buy it now e-mails from ebay. Sure enough I found this generic Manfrotto […]
