20Nov EZ-Steady DSLR Stabilizer Rig on kickstarter.
There are some very interesting ideas on kickstarter and many times you can get a good deal on a product if you’re able to put in money to get the project started. Kyle Hart is looking for pledges to get his EZ-Steady DSLR Stablilizer project off the ground. I haven’t used this rig so I […]
23Oct Printing a DSLR rig A frame handle.
I was working on a shoot last week and accidentally knocked over one my DSLR rigs. Thankfully the Cube Cage completely protected the camera, but the frame of the rig hit just right and busted off a small chunk from one of the handle mounts. I was thinking about ordering another one from CPM, or […]
19Oct Lockport 7 & Lockport 5 HDMI port protector, HDMI lock
Sure you could spend $125 on the Zacuto HDMI cable lock, but for $25 less Lockport actually includes an HDMI brake out right angle adapter. Right now the Lockport 5 is designed for the Canon 5d mark II and the Lockport 7 is designed for the Canon 7d, but it looks like they’re also working […]
27Sep HDMI Male to Female Swivel Adapter for short cables
I generally like to use shorter 3 foot HDMI to mini cables because I want enough length to hook up a monitor without leaving so much slack that the cable can be ripped out of the camera. HDMI just isn’t as tough of a cable standard as something like SDI which has a nice twist […]
25Sep Spider Steady Rig DSLR Rig Movie Kit adjustable shoulder rig video Review
The title of this post represents the current verbal spasm of a name that this rig sells under right now.

Every time I start to complain about this rig I have to remind myself that it’s […]
24Sep Cheap Flexible Focus gears for your Follow focus
Focus gears can get kind of pricey depending on who you buy them from, so when I see one for $10.25, I’m a little skeptical of the quality. The basic idea of this little guy is that you can tighten the flexible gear on to your lens’s focus ring and your left with a one size fits […]
21Sep Juicedlink DS214 adapters finally back in the Noob store.
There was finally a brake in the orders for Zoom h1 shock mounts and my makerbot wasn’t out of service with mechanical problems. This gave me the day worth of testing and editing I needed to iron out the problems I was having with the Juicedlink DS214 adapter design. You can now, once again, order […]
20Sep My old Lilliput 8″ monitor put to good use.
A number of you sent me e-mails when I posted my old Lilliput 8″ hdmi monitor for sale a few weeks back, but Brennan was the first to hit the buy it now button. He was also kind enough to send some pictures of it mounted to his PVC shoulder rig. Looks pretty nice and it’s […]
13Sep Ram mount 1″ ball adapters: buyers guide
I’m a big fan of Ram Mount 1 inch ball adapters, they’re easy to mount, come in all kinds of configurations, and they’re very rugged. The only problem with Ram Mount is that they make a lot of stuff and because of that their website is about as organized as a riot in a prison yard. Whats worse […]
