14Aug Nexus 7 tablet mount option for your DSLR RIG video overview
Here’s a quick video covering the adapter setup I posted yesterday. The case provides quit a bit of protection with the over sized lip along the front and around the sides, the clamp seems very secure. The Tab-Tite Quick Release Tablet Holder works well but it’s still a pricey option. Yiannis pointed out this tripod TelePrompter mount (above) that might […]
10Aug Datacolor Spyder 3 express monitor calibration tool for the YAMAKASI CATLEAP IPS display
One of the things about the Catleap IPS 2560×1440 monitor that makes it so affordable is that there are no color controls or on screen controls built in. This saves money on the monitor, but means that color adjustments have to be made using the graphics card adjustment window. If you know any graphic design artiest […]
07Aug Catleap 2560×1440 IPS display – First impressions
The Catleap 2560×1440 IPS display finally made it out of customs and onto my front porch. The box looks like it’s seen better days, but thankfully the monitor was packed well enough to make the trip. Some how my order ended up in Africa for a week thanks to a mistake from DHL, but the […]

02Aug The GTX 670 4GB for CS5.5
After all of that research into graphics cards, I was dead set on the GTX 570 as the next upgrade to my editing workstation. But when I was about to check out, I saw Amazon’s “Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought” banner at the bottom of the screen with the GTX 670 4GB card at the front […]
01Aug Need to decrease your rendering times in CS6?
I’ve been using a Nvidia GTX 285 2GB card for rendering since CS5, but it’s always interesting to see what newer, more powerful cards can do. For larger projects it can sometimes take the GTX 285 over an hour to render a complex timeline, but how much would it be worth to have that same […]
