04Mar Zeikos T2i Battery Grip.
I’ve always enjoyed my Zeikos battery grip for the Canon 7d, so I went back to them for my Canon t2i Battery Grip. The price is a little bit higher then some of the other brands but it’s still quit a bit lower then the Canon brand battery grip. The buttons feel very nice and […]
04Mar Understanding focal Lengths on a Crop sensor.
I always seem to get questions asking if I think a focal length will “work” well for filming. This is sort of a subjective question. I have no idea what is a good focal length to you or what focal length will make you happy on your next film project. So instead of me using […]
28Feb DSLR vs Camcorder, whats best for you?
James from powermultisport.com wrote in. “How would the Canon t2i stack up against a dedicated camcorder like the Canon VIXIA HF M30 Camcorder for roughly half the price?” Even though cameras like the Canon T2i are a great value, they still might not be the right option for everyone.

25Feb More on Adding audio monitoring to your DSLR.
As promised here is the how to video guide, along with a quick demo. Yes My headphones are lime green, I know. Back on subject, you’ll notice in the video that the Red HDMI cable is plugged in and working at the same time as the usb-composite adapter (Canon AVC-400ST is the proper name). Since […]

So I started rummaging around the net and found something even better. The FiiO […]

24Feb Canon 35mm f1.4 v.s. Sigma 30mm f1.4 head to head Compairson
I recommend the Sigma 30mm f1.4 quit a bit, but it always seems like when i do, the first response I get is “what about (insert lens here)”. Many people aren’t very comfortable with 3rd party lenses or they feel like Canon is the only brand for them. Most of my lenses are canon, but there […]

19Feb CPM FILM TOOLS DSLR Flyer Kit and Indisystem indiSQUARE review
There are a number of rig manufactures and no lack of options. The trick is to find a good balance between design and price. Products from companies like Cinevate, Redrock Micro, and Zacuto are designed well but are often out of the price range of most low budget film makers. With that in mind here […]
18Feb Adding a battery Grip makes your DSLR RIG easier to use.
Batteries are a very important and over looked part of filming. Not having enough batteries or easy access to them can slow down filming by hours.
