20Jan $89 monoprice 2.4Ghz Wireless mic system just showed up

Just made it back home from Pittsburgh last night and had a chance to grab the mail this morning. Among other things, the $89 Monoprice wireless system showed up for review. I have a few lav mics laying around and I’ll try and get some test audio up towards the middle of the week. Very […]

17Jan Used Gear Watch: Audio Technica 4073 boom mic $270

I’ve been a fan of the Audio-technica 4073 boom mic for years and it’s often overlooked by filmmakers. The 4073 has a very strong signal, a lot of reach, and a very crisp clear sound. It’s popularity in ENG work has made it so common that you can usually get the mic for a good price […]

14Jan DSLR FILM NOOB Podcast Episode 1

I ran out decimal places so i’m going to call this Episode 1. I’m still getting a few more things into place and hope to go live with video and a standard 2 day a week formate by the end of the month. This episode is pretty long (2 hours) so no bonus ending. Jon […]

09Jan Very low priced Variable ND filters

Here we have a bunch of low price Tiffen UV filters and when I say low price I mean under $10. They aren’t horrible but they aren’t anything to write home about. These filters are what you buy when you want to protect a lens from scratches, dust, and the rest of the damage a lens can be […]

07Jan The Rode Procaster that didn’t work out

As I move forward with the Podcast initiative, I’ve been upgrading my gear and readying a small spot in the studio for a weekly (possibly bi-weekly show). The audio hasn’t been bad, but I figured it might be time to switch from the makeshift Audio Technica 4073 boom mic and the Tascam DR-60D (supported by boxes) to something a […]
