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 […]
11Feb Samson Airline Micro wireless UHF system – Full video Review
It’s been a few months since I’ve actually had time to shoot a proper video review. Thankfully my workload has finally slowed down and I can get back to my regular video schedule. I was so intrigued by the Samson Airline Micro, that I locked myself in the basement with it for a few days […]
10Feb Samson Airline Micro UHF wireless system – first impression
I’ve come to the point where I need a few extra UHF wireless microphones systems around. The Sennhieser G2 wireless system I use right now works great and most of the time the two sets I use are plenty, but lately I’ve run into situations where it would be nice to have one or 2 […]
10Feb Letus Talon DSLR 7D 5D Cage – Review
If you can remember back in the late 90’s when standard definition DV cameras like the Canon GL1 where all the rage, then the name Letus should be familiar to you. They were responsible for making some of the early 35mm lens adapters for DV cameras that didn’t require you to position your camera upside down. It seems […]
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 […]
20Oct SDHC to CF adapter Speed test.
The SDHC to CF card adapter showed up today. The housing is slightly larger then a standard Compact flash card but it still fits easily into a standard card reader. A few people pointed out that these adapters aren’t good for video, so i thought it would be handy to run a few speed tests with […]
18Oct Canon Announces the 1D X
When it comes to camera announcements and camera rumors I default to Canonrumors.com. I only have so many hours in the day and don’t spend much time on Canon’s press release page. I found out about the 1D X release this morning from Canon Rumors, then hit up the Canon’s site to read the full press […]
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. The official name for this rig is the Spider Steady Rig (thanks to alexpirpiris for finding that for me), but it goes by many other names. Every time I start to complain about this rig I have to remind myself that it’s […]
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 […]
