12Jul The dirt cheap monitor died. Meet its replacement, the Sony CLM v55.
I’ve been using that little dirt cheap monitor for a number of months,but it finally took a fall from 10 feet and abruptly decided to stopped working. The size has made it one of the most used monitors in my collection. Manly because it easily fits in my camera bag and runs all day on […]
10Jul Decoded LP-E8 generic batteries first impressions.
Those generic decoded Canon LP-E8 batteries showed up yesterday along with the two spare battery chargers. From the little testings I was able to do today, they seem to work just about as good as the Canon brand batteries. I was however disappointed that none of the batteries included covers. I normally use the covers to […]
07Jul Cheapest Entry Level DSLR choices for video.
Adam wrote in I have recently graduated from college having completed a degree in Television production. I am mainly interested in making short films. I wanted to get my own gear but I don’t have the resources available to buy a lot of gear so I am looking into buying a decent DSLR and build up my kit […]
05Jul Decoded LP-E8 batteries for your Canon T2i.
I’ve been using cheap generic LP-E8 batteries with my Canon T2i for awhile and they seem to work well enough, but the battery indicator on the camera doesn’t work quit right. When you plug a battery into the camera it gives you an indication of 3/4 full, then sometimes drops to blinking red or worse […]
13Jun New CPM FILM TOOLS Rigs.
CPM FILM TOOLS has a new line of rigs out with a military slant. The new carbon fiber rigs are molded in a special olive green plastic giving them a unique gorilla filmmaker look. The flat black on CPM’s other camera systems look great but it’s always nice to have a few color options. The rig pictured […]
11Jun 3 Legged adjustable camera support rig – First impressions
I finally made it home around midnight last night and the first thing to greet me (besides the dogs) was a large stack of boxes. This morning I dug through them to find the 3 legged camera rig I ordered a few weeks ago. There isn’t a lot of padding in the box and there […]
25May PTP Camera controller for your DSLR.
I was trying to hunt down CHDK info on the Canon 7d when I came across this strange looking device. Basically it’s an all in one camera controller that can be run from a 9 volt battery. When I say “all in one” I mean this thing can actually control video and photography on just about […]
16May Juicedlink DS214 full Review.
I spent most of my Sunday testing and playing with the Juicedlink DS214, I ran a few test on my Canon 7d and on my Canon t2i with the Magic lantern firmware update. As a small audio amplifier and a device that disables AGC on the 7d it works great. The gain is very clean […]
15May Juicedlink DS214 adapter and Zoom h1 shock mount.
Finished up the Black versions of both the Juicedlink DS214 adapter and the Zoom H1 shock mount adapter, both of which turned out great. I added a cold shoe mount on both the top and bottom of the Juicedlink adapter, and cleaned up the design on the shock mount to include tie wrap holes across […]
13May ART USB Dual Pre 2 Channel Preamp arrived
The Art USB dual channel Preamp showed up this afternoon. Before I even had a chance to test it out, I took it apart to see how hard it would be to add a mount to this little guy. After removing the knobs, rubber side pads, and a few screws you can see that there […]
