25Nov Watson Duo LCD Charger battery plates
Several of you were asking about the charger plates for the Watson Duo LCD charger I wrote about last week. Here we have a few different flavors, they look the same from the front of the box, but each contains a different type of battery plate. On the left we have Canon BP-900 plate, in […]
20Nov Tehkron Gopro hero 3 Cage Pro – A Blunt Review
The Tehkron Cage pro showed up this morning. I forgot I had preordered this thing after seeing it on twitter a few months ago. For those of you not familiar with the Tehkron Cage pro, it’s basically a hero 3 cage that allows you to power and charge your hero 3 with standard Canon LP-E6 […]
18Nov Senal SMH-1000 Studio Monitor Headphones – First impressions
Currently I have two pair of headphones I rely on, a low price pair of Panasonic RP-HTX7 headphones (check out the review here) for ruff situations where I just need to hear what’s going on and a pair of AIAIAI TMA-1 headphones for mixing and recording applications. Both sets have served me well but I’ve been looking from a […]
17Nov Watson Duo LCD Charger – First impressions
I’ve used a few dual charger options in past but the Watson Duo is the first one I’ve picked up with an LCD screen. Supposedly this model has a higher current output (max 2 amps) and better regulation controls than other generic charges on the market. It’s hard to come up with a test method […]
09Oct Canon FD 35-105mm f3.5 lens on the EOS-M body
The Canon FD 35-105mm F3.5 lens can be had for well under $100 on ebay and offers up an equivalent 56-168mm field of view on the Canon EOS-M body. That range easily covers medium to close up shots making it an ideal and affordable zoom to pair with the Canon EOS-M. (Above) The lens is […]
02Oct Gigabit speeds via wireless AC with ASUS AC68 adapter
I’ve been very happy with my Freenas build. Theres plenty of storage in a small form factor and it’s very reasonably priced. The only problem is that since i’ve moved I haven’t had access to a hardwired connection. I’ve upgraded my wireless router to something that supports 802.11ac, however the first PCI-e card I picked up […]
01Oct Canon 55mm f1.2 FD lens on the EOS-M body
In the past I’ve strongly recommended against using FD glass on modern Canon cameras. This is because the flange distance on a normal Canon DSLR requires you to use an optical adapter or in some cases a specially machined adapter that only works with some lenses and is very expensive for what it is ($70 or […]
16Sep Stacking Grid Light modifier
There are a number of DIY projects that show you how to build one of these grid light modifiers out of straws, foam core, and electrical tape. Most of the methods I’ve seen use around $10 to $15 in parts and supplies. This is pretty reasonable when compared to the $50 grid from Rogue, but if […]
12Sep Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 VC $889.99
I swear this is the last crazy Ebay Deal I’ll post today. The Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 VC lens has become a staple in my lenses collection over the last year or so and it’s one of the first lenses I pack for just about any project. The VC (vibration control) makes it great for hand held […]
10Sep Metal Gopro Hero 1/4 20 tripod mount
Scouting around on ebay, I came across this metal 1/4 20 Gopro adapter (on the right). There really isn’t anything wrong with the Plastic adapter (on the left), but the metal adapter is machined from a single piece of aluminum and feels pretty nice. It took a week or so to ship from China and […]
