13May First Makerbot print, Juicedlink DS214 adapter plate.
I stayed up tell midnight last night ironing out a few problems with the makerbot. Once I got the wires rerouted and a test cube printed, I decided to print out my first peace of handy film gear. I was complaining yesterday about the Juicedlink 1/4 20 mount being located on the top of the […]
10May All in one Audio device, the Art USB Dual pre-amp.
I was looking for a battery powered pre-amp with a little bit more gain then my Fiio E5 has to offer. I wanted to use it in conjunction with microphones that don’t have a strong output like the Rode NTG-3. I was also looking for something with phantom power that was battery powered and compact. […]
22Apr Adding a larger battery to the 7″ Haier monitor
I’ve received a number of e-mails asking about larger battery solutions for the Haier 7″ monitor. The short (less then 2 hours) battery life just doesn’t seem to cut it for a lot of people. You could spend $25 on a direct from Haier 2200 mAh battery (if you can find one), but that would […]
18Apr SmallHD DP4 4 inch monitor.
SmallHD makes some great monitors, but their flagship model the DP6 is well over $900. So unless you do a lot of paid work, or have money to burn, the DP6 might be a little out of your price range. It seems SmallHD had this in mind when they announced the DP4. The SmallHD DP4 […]
11Apr Cool Little flex arms with clamp.
I picked these up off ebay a few weeks ago and they’re pretty handy. The larger friction arm and clamp combo (11 inch) runs about $62, and the smaller friction arm and clamp combo (7 inch) is $49. The smaller friction arm also includes that little cold shoe adapter. The clamps are a lot smaller […]
01Apr Wireless Canon DSLR remote iPad app.
Source: Philip Bloom I must say that this looks a little fishy. No USB cable, no connections, yet you have video monitoring and camera control through an iPad. The company doesn’t have much information on their website, so i’ll believe it when I see it. If it does actually work I will most likely be […]
20Mar Bluetooth test with a Lavalier
I don’t normally do two videos in one day, but I received so many request for a test using a lavalier with the Bluetooth transmitter setup that I decided to give it a try. It hadn’t accrued to me that this could be used as a lavalier setup since most of my plans focused around the stereo […]
17Mar Haier 7″ HLT71 Video review.
So after spending a few days with the Haier 7″ monitor I had a chance to run all the tests I could think of. I also spent some time going through all the settings in the menu. The color and contrast aren’t amazing out of this monitor, and the screen isn’t extremely bright. But It will […]
15Mar Haier 7 Inch monitor, $44 and it works.
A number of you sent e-mails requesting a full review of the Haier 7″ HLT71 monitor. So I went ahead and picked one up. As you can see it showed up today and I must say I’m pleasantly surprised. First thing to note is that it’s actually lighter and thinner (1/4″ thinner) then my Lilliput […]
09Mar Haier 7 inch monitor for $44, is it any good?
So I’ve seen this monitor pop up before, but the last time I looked, the price tag was over $100. It seems the fine company that everyone has heard of (Haier) has discontinued production on their 7 inch hand held LCD TV. Which means the price has been cut in half. 44 dollars gets you a […]
