06Feb Anytime Tools 32 pc MICRO PRECISION SCREWDRIVER SET
Getting ready to put in that Samsung 840 EVO SSD into my Asus Zenbook. I’ve been waiting for this 32 piece screwdriver set with torx bits to show up since last week, apparently prime shipping isn’t always 2 days. Not exactly the most exciting purchase, but for $8 you get a pretty decent selection of precision bits […]
29Jan Filming product close ups with a Gopro Hero 3
It can be tricky trying to get camera placement just right when shooting hands on product shots. One of the most affordable ways to accomplish this sort of thing is to use an extremely light camera like the Gopro Hero 3. A boom mic stand is designed to hold heavy condenser microphones in place even when […]
23Jan Used Gear Watch: DSLR shoulder rig with lots of extra parts
This looks to be one of the old Zacuto style rigs that used to pop up on ebay. The setup seems to have enough parts to build pretty much any kind of formfactor you’d want. Currently it’s at $100 with a $300 buy it now price with free shipping. The two QR plates are worth […]
23Jan Cold shoe to thumb screw 1/4 20 rig mount – hands on
That little $9 adapter I posted last week, showed up and although the label on Amazon is a little strange Cold Shoe Mount Male ¼ to 20 Female Threaded Adapter the adapter itself is as pictured. The cold shoe and thumbscrew are both metal and the case itself is a molded piece of plastic. Feels […]
17Jan Cold shoe thumb screw 1/4 20 rig mount
Alright, this slightly over prices little guy looks pretty handy. It’s a 1/4 20 threaded stud with a thumb screw and rubberized grip on the bottom and a cold shoe adapter on the top. In the past i’ve used 1/4 20 all thread studs to attach cold shoes to a rig. At $9 this is […]
11Jan Sony RX10 with the XLR-K1M adapter – First impressions
The weather was nice this afternoon so I took the opportunity to run a few quick tests with the Sony RX10. After a little bit of playing around in the menus I can safely say that the Sony XLR-K1M mic adapter works perfectly with the RX10 camera. Simply slide the smart adapter into the camera’s hot shoe, turn […]
26Dec Redrock Micro Cobalt Cage – First impressions
Just received the Redrock Micro Cobalt cage and it’s turning out to be one of the best Hero 3 camera cages on the market. Even without the battery power option it puts the Tehkron Gopro Hero 3 cage to shame. Putting it side by side with its closest competitor the Combat cage, you can see that […]
20Nov Tehkron Gopro hero 3 Cage Pro – A Blunt Review
The Tehkron Cage pro showed up this morning. I forgot I had preordered this thing after seeing it on twitter a few months ago. For those of you not familiar with the Tehkron Cage pro, it’s basically a hero 3 cage that allows you to power and charge your hero 3 with standard Canon LP-E6 […]
11Sep Nexus 7 FHD tablet – First Impressions
The 32GB Nexus 7 FHD showed up at the beginning of the week and I’ve just started playing around with it. I held off on posting anything until I could get someone to lend me a working Nexus 7 so I could do some side by side comparisons. So far touch screen response on the […]
