13Jun The Aviator Travel Jib Camera Crane Kickstarter project

The Aviator Travel Jib is basically a collapsible, light weight mini crane. It has a maximum length of 6 feet and a load capacity of 6lbs, yet when Folded up the Aviator Travel Jib is only 24 inches long. Designed with light weight cameras in mind, It’s basically the crane equivalent of the Konova slider, small, […]

24May Powergen and Anker USB battery packs

I’ve started using the Jangus Wireless wii units on a couple of projects with very positive results, but the last shoot I was on lasted over 9 hours which was more time then the built in battery on the transmitter could handle. I had two of these stereo transmitters with me so it wasn’t a […]

23May SmallHD DP4 hdmi monitor and EVF price drop.

My SmallHD DP4 is a pretty good monitor overall, but when I ordered it the price was $549 for the monitor alone and $745 if you wanted the extra EVF adapter kit. It seems Smallhd has decided to lower their prices a bit, the DP4 price has dropped $100 to $449, and the DP4-EVF kit […]

23May H005 Real Pic 5.6 inch 1280×800 hdmi monitor – first impression/last impressions

The H005 Real Pic monitor showed up yesterday (shipping from china was surprisingly fast). The package was your standard brown paper bag wrapped around the product with some bubble wrap. No cellophane around the box and it looks like it has been opened before. The monitor itself is packaged in a nice foam cut out and comes with […]

22May Flashpoint LCD 8″ Monitor with built in Remote shutter trigger

(Special thanks to Yiannis for pointing this out to me) The Flashpoint LCD 8 inch monitor is an interesting concept. You basically get an 8 inch hdmi monitor that doubles as a remote shutter trigger and wireless standard definition monitor for $499. An 8 inch monitor is right at the limit of what you’d want to […]

15May H005 Real Pic 5.6 inch 1280×800 hdmi monitor

LCD monitors have really started to advance over the last couple of years. Manufactures have been able to cram more and more pixels into smaller and smaller areas. It was only a matter of time before someone caught up with the pixel count of smallhd’s DP6. At less then a quarter of the price ($220 […]

27Apr Sandisk SDXC 64GB Class 10 Card for $48.95!

I already drop my cash on the Pretec SDXC 64GB cards but if you didn’t pull the trigger, B&H is having a hell of a good sale on the Sandisk 64GB SDXC cards. You can check out my earlier test results on the smaller capacity Sandisk Class 10 cards here, although the Sandisk was a little […]

25Apr Roland R-26 6-Channel Digital Field Audio Recorder

If you don’t think 2 tracks on the Zoom h1 or Tascam DR-05 is enough and the 4 tracks of audio on the Zoom h4n and Tascam Dr-40 don’t do the trick, Roland has released the R-26 6 track recorder. It’s the same basic concept as the h4n and Dr-40 but with an interesting twist. […]

20Apr Varavon Armor Mini Rig System for the Canon 5D Mark II

The Varavon Armor is an interesting take on the whole cage concept. It doesn’t really protect the entire camera like some other cages out there. Instead it adds extra mounting points on the frame along with a forward facing mounting bracket above the lens for a microphone adapter. It also has some oddly placed handle […]

11Apr Letus Talon 1DmkIV cage with the Canon t2i fully loaded

Even though this Letus Talon Cage was designed for the Canon 1D Mark IV, it does a very good job of protecting the fragile plastic body of the Canon T2i and it’s battery grip. The reason I point this out, is that Letus Currently has this Cage on Sale for $250. At $499 the cage […]
