13Feb Fixing the Blink problem on the Lilliput monitor with the 5d 60d and t2i.

So one of the most irritating things about shooting on pretty much any of canon’s camera line (minus the 7d) is that the HDMI port goes from HD to SD when you press the record button. This normally causes most field monitors to blink, but thanks to a little info from dzoemie you don’t have […]

09Feb Camera Body Cap with a built in lens

Sometimes your camera is packed away in a camera bag with a body cap on it, when out of the blue an airplane dives out of the sky in front of you. If only you had a lens on your camera instead of a body cap. You could have gotten the shot that would have […]

08Feb Okii USB follow focus review

My Okii USB follow focus showed up in the mail on Thursday of last week and I was able to spend the entire weekend messing around with it. The first notable thing about the Okii USB follow focus is the packaging. The unit arrived in a small tin with a nice little see-through cover and […]

07Feb Yet another Canon DSLR Release t3i/600d

Canon Just announced the Rebel t3i/600d and this camera doesn’t look like anything fresh from canon. The spec list is almost the same as 60d and t2i. Why would anyone feel the need to upgrade? This new release has the same Digic 4 processor as every other current Canon DSLR on the market and the […]

05Feb Konova Slider Update

After having a chance to spend a little more time with the Konova Slider, I thought I would take a little time to post a few more pictures and a quick update. My good friend Amos has the DryLin® Linear Motion Camera Slider, which is considered to be one of the best DIY options for […]

04Feb JuicedLink DS214 AGC Disabling pre-amp released this month.

Let me start by saying that I like Juicedlink products. I have the JL-DT454 which provides the ability to disable AGC on the canon 7d. The handy thing about Juicedlink preamps is that they provide gain. Beachtek and Studio one preamps are passive, so if you have an audio source that’s quiet there is no […]

03Feb USB Follow Focus just showed up.

So i’ve got some good news and some bad news. Lets start with the good news first. The Okii usb Fallow focus just showed up today, comes in a nice little tin, feels very well made, and Okii had it shipped to me in 4 days (very nice). Now for the bad news. If you […]

01Feb More on the Dirt Cheap monitor

I’ve been getting a lot of request to see this little monitor up close. I didn’t have a chance after putting this together to film the monitor in use. So hopefully this short video address most of your questions. I will note that it’s hard to properly expose a video monitor, so the color ends […]

31Jan Konova Camera Slider

I was searching ebay a few weeks back for a few lighting supplies when I came across the Konova Slider. After looking over the pictures and reading more about it, I pulled the trigger.  At a price tag of $285 this is one of the best deals I’ve seen on the market. The only thing […]

30Jan Dirt Cheep Monitor project!

Update: Want to see a video of this build with updated parts list and the word cheap spelled correctly? Here it is. I don’t normally put together how to guides, but this one seems very handy and well worth a little bit of work. If you can’t afford to pay $200 for a Lilliput HDMI monitor, […]
