17Jan Cold shoe thumb screw 1/4 20 rig mount
Alright, this slightly over prices little guy looks pretty handy. It’s a 1/4 20 threaded stud with a thumb screw and rubberized grip on the bottom and a cold shoe adapter on the top. In the past i’ve used 1/4 20 all thread studs to attach cold shoes to a rig. At $9 this is […]
11Jan Sony RX10 with the XLR-K1M adapter – First impressions
The weather was nice this afternoon so I took the opportunity to run a few quick tests with the Sony RX10.

16Dec Canon C100 – first impressions
I’ve been doing a bit of shooting with the Canon c100 lately. Many people rant and rave about how much of a step up it is from a 5d mark III or any DSLR body for that matter. While I’ve enjoyed shooting with it, i’m not exactly in love. Currently the most disappointing thing about […]
13Dec Is the Camranger really a TP-LINK TL-MR3040?
The short answer to that question is yes. I spoke with the guys from TP-Link this morning, i’m currently on Scotland time, so I think that’s evening in the United States. Here’s what they said.
