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 […]
09Aug Alesis PalmTrack field recorder for $39?
The Alesis PalmTrack is very similar in specs to the Zoom h2 field recorder. Both have 4 Mic capsules and both allow you to record 4 tracks at the same time. The PalmTrack also has a threaded adapter mount and the added benefit of being a usb audio interface for your computer. There is also the standard line/mic […]
18Jul Great low price Field recorder test.
Scott over at theFrugalFilmaker.com has a great write up on sub $100 hand held field recorders. 6 tests in total, with audio samples to help you decide what low price field recorder is right for you. I personal use the Zoom h1 and Tascam DR-05, but there are a lot of new options showing up […]
17Jul Zoom H2n Announced.
Thanks to Yiannis for pointing this out to me. Looks like Zoom is releasing an updated version of the H2 portable field recorder. The new model called the Zoom H2n has a few interesting updates, including a screen very similar to its bigger brother (Zoom H4n), 4 track recording using 4 built in mics, a proper […]
24May Zoom H1 shock mount adapter, Second Run.
Parts are in! More of the Zoom H1 shock mounts are now available. First come first serve guys. If you need shipping outside of the United States select “other countries”. This adds $2 to the cost in order to cover overseas shipping. SOLD OUT Juiced link DS214 mounts coming soon.
19May ART USB Dual Preamp camera mount adapter.
I had some time last night to build that 1/4 20 adapter for the ART USB dual preamp I ordered last week. As you will probably notice the 1/4 20 mount positions the unit upside down. That wasn’t my original plan, I actually wanted to drill and tap the case on both sides and just thread the […]
15May Juicedlink DS214 adapter and Zoom h1 shock mount.
Finished up the Black versions of both the Juicedlink DS214 adapter and the Zoom H1 shock mount adapter, both of which turned out great. I added a cold shoe mount on both the top and bottom of the Juicedlink adapter, and cleaned up the design on the shock mount to include tie wrap holes across […]
12May JuicedLink DS214
Made it home and found the Juicedlink DS214 cleverly hidden under my doormat, good job UPS. $144 gets you a small AGC disabling audio mixer with pre camera headphone monitoring output. I haven’t been home long enough to test it out, but my first impressions are mixed. The 1/4 20 mount is in a position that’s only really useful if you own one […]
20Apr Zoom H1 shock mount design.
I’ve been working on a few more DSLR cad designs to test out when my makerbot shows up in a few more weeks. I thought a Zoom H1 shock mount would probably be very handy and it might be nice if the shock mount also used off the shelf rubber bands. I basically designed this […]
17Apr Turning the Volume up on quiet microphones.
If you’ve been filming for a few years, chances are you have an old passive XLR to 1/8 inch adapter laying around. Beachtek and Studio 1 where the most popular for a number of years, but none of their early models had any kind of built in amplifier. If your microphone doesn’t put out a […]
