20Jun Double cold shoe adapter bracket price drop
The price for these double cold shoe adapter brackets sometimes jumps all over the place. Last year about this time, I put up this post mentioning that the price was down around $13. I’ve seen it as high as $45 and as low as $18, but this is the first time I’ve found it back at […]
18Jun 4DSLR Zoom h4n cradle adapter – First impressions
The 4DSLR Zoom h4n cradle adapter is a quick release mount for the Zoom h4n with rubber pressure pads that provide some handling noise reduction. The 1/4 20 stud on the bottom of the unit also doubles as a very short 15mm rail, making it easy to mount to a rig or arm with a […]
13Jun Switronix TorchLED BOLT on camera Dimmmable LED light – First impressions
You might have noticed my extreme lack of posts on LED camera mount lights. That’s mainly because most of the low priced camera mount LED units don’t output very much light and the color temp is hard to match. But there are always cases were it can be very handy to have a few on […]
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 […]
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 Used Gear Watch: ikan Elements DSLR Cage
Ikan makes a lot of random equipment including DSLR Rigs and friction follow focus adapters. I’m not a huge fan of their DLSR Rig’s handle design, but the rigs are all metal and as with anything else, for the right price it can be a pretty good deal. Ikan’s Super Fly DSLR Rig alone will set […]
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 […]
04Apr DIY wireless audio: turning the Audio2000s into a wireless 2 channel portable audio system
I received an E-mail a few weeks ago from Shabazzr. He was wondering if I knew of any way to make the Audio2000s 6032uf UHF dual channel wireless system 100% battery powered. The wireless transmitters already run on batteries so I really just needed to find the spec’s for the receiver and a low price battery that would meet […]
08Mar Micover Windscreen for the Rode VideoMic Pro
As soon as I heard the results of the Rode Deadcat windscreen test, I returned it and ordered the Micover windscreen designed for the VideoMic pro. As you can see the windscreen is made of the exact same material as the one used on the Rode VideoMic in the video. It looks a lot nicer, […]
