01Apr Noob Store closed for two weeks
Just a heads up, everything in the Noob Store will be marked as “out of stock” for the next two weeks. I’m living the motel life and wont be back to ship anything out until I get back from NAB. All orders have shipped so if you placed an order last week, your item is […]
30Mar Tascam DR-60D Field recorder and audio pre-amp
I was just complaining about innovation in the XLR camera adapter market and this is exactly what I was looking for. The Tascam DR-60D, is a rig mount 4 channel field recorder that’s designed to record audio as well as feed it directly to your DSLR. The unit comes with full sized volume knobs, switches, and […]
30Mar Cameramator iUSBportCamera update from Hyper + drive
I finally had a chance to test out the Sanho firmware upgrade for the Cameramator. This effectively loads the unit with the same configuration as their re-branded iUSBportCamera device. The update allows you to use any device with a web browser to access live view as well as camera controls. In this case I’m using the Nexus […]
28Mar Juicedlink Riggy RM333 – First Impressions
I’ve used all kinds of XLR adapter boxes over the years both on video cameras like the now antique Canon GL1 to modern day DSLR like the 5d mark III. There hasn’t been much innovation with these devices and companies like Beachtek, Studio 1 productions, and Juicedlink still make audio devices almost identical to devices […]
26Mar NastyClamp vs Actionpod which one is right for your kit?
I’ve been playing around with the NastyClamp as well as the Actionpod for a few weeks now trying to decide which one is a better fit. Both use the same 3/4 inch Loc-line tube so they both have pretty much the same load capacity. The major difference is in the squeeze clamp and mounting stud. […]
25Mar Aluminum Combat housing for the Gopro Hero 3 Kickstarter
This isn’t a life changing kickstarter campaign, but I can see it being useful for those of you who really put your Hero 3 through heavy use. It’s basically just a big chunk of machined aluminum that gives you a lot of 1/4 20 and 3/8 mounting points and has the added bonus of protecting […]
24Mar Viltrox DC-50 5 inch HDMI monitor on Amazon
I was doing a little more research on the Viltrox DC-50 monitor and noticed that it’s recently popped up on Amazon for a slightly lower price of $184.36 ($178.88 + $5.48 shipping). That’s $10 less than the ebay price although it looks like the estimated shipping times are still 17 to 28 days so it’s […]
17Mar Vanguard CF Memory Card Case
I liked the SD card case so much I decided to hunt down something for my CF cards. The Vanguard CF card case is only $11 and holds up to 6 CF cards in a form factor very similar to the SD card case I posted a few days ago. If you are wondering how this […]
12Mar Nasty Clamp rigidity test, will it support a large flash?
In an effort to test the rigidity of the Nasty Clamp, I mounted a Canon 580 ex II flash with batteries at an angled position and left it on the Nasty Clamp over night. This is basically the same test I ran with the Actionpod. The flash with batteries works out to ruffly 3 pounds […]
08Mar Nasty Clamps – First impressions
I posted a little while ago about the Actionpod and a few of you mentioned that it looked very similar to the Nasty Clamp. Until that point I hadn’t heard much about Nasty Clamp, so I thought it might be a good time to give them a try. The Nasty Clamp is a flexible squeeze clamp mounting solution […]
