15Feb Dirt Cheap Monitor Project – Video build
Youtube member MAREKDT sent me a video of his take on the Dirt Cheap monitor project. I like the fact that he saved the little threaded bracket, I got a little to carried away with the dermal when I built mine and there wasn’t much left of the holes. The black electrical tape is also […]
14Feb 3 legged Spider DSLR Rig price drop to $59
Yiannis pointed this one out to me this morning. Looks like the price on the 3 legged DSLR Movie Rig (spider) has dropped again. You can now find it on Amazon for $59 making it one of the lowest price DSLR rigs on the market. This rig isn’t perfect, but for the price it’s a great value. You […]
12Feb Juicedlink DIY107B and AT8469 mounting bracket
I haven’t spent much time commenting on Juicedlink’s DIY series of brackets and mounts. This is mostly because of the pricing. $36 for a flat peace of aluminum with holes and another $14 for the AT8469 cold shoe mount seems a little pricey. So here are a few options to reduce the price or make your […]
10Feb Letus Talon DSLR 7D 5D Cage – Review
If you can remember back in the late 90’s when standard definition DV cameras like the Canon GL1 where all the rage, then the name Letus should be familiar to you. They were responsible for making some of the early 35mm lens adapters for DV cameras that didn’t require you to position your camera upside down. It seems […]
25Nov Lockport Universal HDMI clamp.

Finally Lockport has released their universal HDMI clamp, which doesn’t require a specific kind of rig, instead it works with whatever you […]
24Nov Printrbot 3d printer
The price for 3d printering keeps dropping as people come up with more and more elegant designs. The Printrbot is another entry in the low price 3d printer market, keeping the cost down by using a minimalist design. You aren’t going to be printing as fast as some of the beefier printer designs out there but for […]
22Nov Noob shock mount used for DIY zoom h1 boom pole.
It’s great when someone thinks of a way to use the Noob shock mount for something completely different then I had intended. Yiannis put together this simple but effective boom pole using PVC pipe and the Noob shock mount adapter, then added a 1/8 inch cable extender for headphone monitoring. Yiannis mentioned that a windscreen is a […]
20Nov EZ-Steady DSLR Stabilizer Rig on kickstarter.
There are some very interesting ideas on kickstarter and many times you can get a good deal on a product if you’re able to put in money to get the project started. Kyle Hart is looking for pledges to get his EZ-Steady DSLR Stablilizer project off the ground. I haven’t used this rig so I […]
