20Dec Gopro Hero 3 USB audio cable test
The Gopro Hero 3 USB to 3.5mm audio cable showed up last night and I had a chance to do a quick audio test using the adapter. In these test I used the Rode VideoMic pro plugged directly into the usb adapter and recorded audio at 0db of gain as well as +20db of gain […]
18Dec Gopro Hero 3 Black edition review video
Gopro Hero 3 black edition Review is up. It went a little long so I’ll be posting low light testing as well as usb audio adapter tests in the next video. I’ll be finishing up the Hero 3 Warp stabilizer tutorial video sometime next week. I’ll keep you posted.
15Dec Canon 6d v.s. 5d mark III low light testing
I planned on saving the high ISO tests for the video review, but I’ve received enough requests that I’ll go ahead and post my early ISO results between the Canon 6d and Canon 5d mark III. I am by no means a testing expert when it comes to resolution or high ISO testing, instead I simply […]
14Dec GoPro Hero 3 app, not much of a selling point
The first thing you’ll notice about this photograph is that i’m not holding a camera in the “live view” screen display. That’s because there is so much delay between what the camera is seeing and what the tablet is displaying that I was easily able to photograph the tablet before the screen caught up with […]
12Dec Free Time Lapse software that’s easy to use: GoPro Cineform Studio
I have a lot of good things to say about the GoPro Hero 3, but I’ll save them for the full review. What I want to point out here is that the free Cineform Studio app on Gopro’s site is an excellent, easy, full functioning, time lapse application. Simply click the “Import New Files” button on the left, […]
09Dec Linco Flora Lighting kit review
The Flora Lighting kit from Linco showed up in four boxes, two of which where filled with 85 watt CFLs (the kit comes with 18 total) and the other two containing stands, heads, and light boxes. The stands and heads come in these nice padded zipper cases, while the CFLs are packed in Styrofoam. The boxes where […]
05Dec Case Logic SLRC-202 – Road Test
The Case Logic SLRC-202 has been my go to light weight travel bag for almost 4 years and i’m about to test out their 25 year warranty. When i’m on the road and don’t have a lot of room to pack, this bag is usually just about right. One camera body with lens, one zoom, […]
25Nov iRig Pre Hack, cheap XLR phantom power preamp for your DSLR
As promised here is the iRig Pre hack video with a few extra audio tests. If you need a low price affordable XLR adapter for your camera this is probably the best bang for your buck. I’ve covered the subject pretty well so check out these earlier posts if you want more audio samples, guides, […]
22Nov iRig Pre DSLR Audio Hack
I was looking at the iRig Pre and realized it would be very easy to use the built in headphone jack as a standard output which would mean no hacked cable or extra parts would be required. If you remove the battery cover and battery, you’ll notice a small screw between the positive and negative terminals. Removing […]
21Nov Panasonic RP-HTX7 Monitor Headphones – Road Test
A lot of times when I put together a review it’s after a few weeks of working with it. I think it might be beneficial to revisit some of the items I’ve had for a long time. Do I still use them on a regular basis? How durable are they after long term use? Would I still […]
