15Feb Dirt Cheap Monitor Project – Video build
Youtube member MAREKDT sent me a video of his take on the Dirt Cheap monitor project. I like the fact that he saved the little threaded bracket, I got a little to carried away with the dermal when I built mine and there wasn’t much left of the holes. The black electrical tape is also […]
13Feb Samson Airline Micro Tested with the Rode Videomic
The audio I recorded during the Samson Airline Micro test seemed to add a little bit of bass making the audio sound a little bit muddy. The system also seemed to have a slight audio hiss to it when I was testing. Neither of these things were bad enough to be a deal breaker, but I […]
25Nov Lockport Universal HDMI clamp.
I’ve been eyeballing an HDMI locking device for awhile now, but it’s kind of like buying socks, I know I need them but I get little to no joy out of buying them. Finally Lockport has released their universal HDMI clamp, which doesn’t require a specific kind of rig, instead it works with whatever you […]
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 […]
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 […]
02Sep Saying goodbye to my Lilliput 8 inch monitor.
I’ve been using this Lilliput monitor for over 2 years. It does a great job, but it’s time to let it go. I don’t need to have 4 HDMI monitors laying around the house. So the first up on the chopping block is the Lilliput 8 inch 869GL. I have it listed now on ebay […]
23Aug FEELWORLD 7 inch Sunhood/Sunshade for your field monitor.
I was a little disappointed with the sun hood that was included with the SmallHD DP4 monitor. After all that talk about build quality you end up with a hood that doesn’t really fold up that well and is kind of a pain to attach. I was searching for a nicer sunhood option when I came acrros the […]
21Aug Android devices as your next field monitor and camera controller?
A few months back I wrote a post about the possible use of android devices as a Camera monitor slash controller for your Canon DSLR. It only took about 3 months for the guys over at dslrcontroller to almost make it a reality. I say almost because the video record mode isn’t working quit yet in the […]
12Aug A protective case for your 5 inch monitor.
I had to leave for Chicago yesterday morning and I needed a couple of cases for my Sony CLM v55 and Smallhd DP4 monitors. I started digging around the house to see what i could find and it turns out that both monitors fit quit nicely into the same case that I use for my Zoom […]
03Aug Lilliput 569GL 5 inch monitor in the wild.
LJ posted this unboxing video of the new Lilliput 569GL monitor. I’ve been interested to see how Lilliput’s 5 inch monitor stacks up. Coming in at $200, it’s well under any of the other 5 inch hdmi monitors in this category. It’s also one of the few monitors in this price range sporting proper BNC connectors. Lilliput’s […]
