03Apr MustHD 5.6 inch 1280×800 HDMI field monitor Review
Over all I’ve been pretty impressed with the image quality of the MustHD 5.6 inch field monitor. For a monitor in this price range it looks really good and the 1280×800 screen resolution is a very nice plus. The design and implementation of the sun hood and battery plates are very well thought out and […]
27Mar 3 cold shoe mounting adapter
This 3 cold shoe adapter seems a little over priced at $20, but it does feel nice and solid. I grabbed a few of these awhile back and they’ve been working out ok, but I’ve noticed you can now pick up a thinner looking version for $9.99 with free shipping on amazon. I’ve got one […]
26Mar New 1280×800 DIY field monitor project?
I was doing a little ebay scouting this morning and came across these very interesting 1280×800 project monitor kits. For under $100 you get a 5.6 inch 1280×800 display, driver board, and controls. Basically, you find a box to put it in and a 12 volt power source and you have yourself a sub $100 field […]
25Mar MustHD 5.6 inch 1280×800 field monitor Quick look video
Had a chance to do a little more testing this afternoon. Here’s a quick video look at the MustHD 5.6 inch monitor. Build quality is plastic with lots of vent ports, but that’s not unreasonable for a monitor under $300 with this much screen resolution. I’m still very impressed by the image quality. This thing […]
25Mar MustHD 5.6 inch 1280×800 HDMI field monitor – First impressions
I just received the MustHD 5.6 inch 1280×800 HDMI field monitor in the mail. A number of you were asking about the MustHD after my earlier review of the Aputure VS-3 field monitor so here it is. Out of the box the MustHD field monitor is surprisingly light weight. The controls are numerous and fairly easy to use, […]
18Mar Really cheap mini cold shoe bracket ball head
I went ahead and ordered 4 of those really cheap mini cold shoe ball head adapters from ebay (4 for $13.52 with free shipping on ebay). I posted a little while back about some affordable mini ball head options, but these guys are even cheaper at $3.38 a piece. It took 3 weeks for them […]
05Mar Aputure VS-3 V-Screen Field monitor review
I’ve been testing and using the Aputure VS-3 Field monitor for a few months now and it’s been a reasonably positive experience. The VS-3 sits in a sweet spot between higher end monitors and the sub $200 offerings. Features are pretty good for the price and it’s one of the few monitors that offers up […]
02Mar Neewer DC-50 Field monitor, rebranded Viltrox DC-50?
The Neewer DC-50 field monitor (above) looks very similar to the Viltrox DC-50, the only major difference appears to the price. The Viltrox hovers around $200, while the Neewer DC-50 is closer to $120. Are they the same monitor? The packaging for the Viltrox DC-50 looks identical to the Neewer DC-50 and if you look close on the Amazon product photos you […]
01Mar Used Gear Watch: SmallHD DP6 monitor with Canon LP-E6 plate
The SmallHD DP4 with it’s 800×480 screen resolution will set up back $449 for the basic model or you could pick up this used SmallHD DP6 monitor with its 1280×800 display for $550 with free shipping on ebay. While the DP6 might not be quite as nice as some of the newer OLED 7 inch […]
16Feb Azden FMX-DSLR audio adapter – First Impressions
I just got the Azden FMX-DSLR XLR audio adapter in for testing. Similar in design to the Beachtek DXA-SLR, the FMX-DSLR offers up 2 XLR inputs, independent gain control, powered monitoring, AGC disable (if you have a camera that requires that) and 48V phantom power. Both units also have the same selection of AUX/XLR inputs and the […]
