04Sep Cheaper Nexus 7 mount option for your DSLR RIG

The RAM mount adapter works as a secure way to mount the Nexus 7 tablet, but by the time you add all of the additional parts the price ends up being around $40. If you don’t need a mounting option that’s as rugged and want to save some money this tablet grip on ebay is only about $11. The get […]

14Aug Nexus 7 tablet mount option for your DSLR RIG video overview

Here’s a quick video covering the adapter setup I posted yesterday. The case provides quit a bit of protection with the over sized lip along the front and around the sides, the clamp seems very secure. The Tab-Tite Quick Release Tablet Holder works well but it’s still a pricey option. Yiannis pointed out this tripod TelePrompter mount (above) that might […]

The H005 Real Pic monitor showed up yesterday (shipping from china was surprisingly fast). The package was your standard brown paper bag wrapped around the product with some bubble wrap.

15May H005 Real Pic 5.6 inch 1280×800 hdmi monitor

LCD monitors have really started to advance over the last couple of years. Manufactures have been able to cram more and more pixels into smaller and smaller areas. It was only a matter of time before someone caught up with the pixel count of smallhd’s DP6. At less then a quarter of the price ($220 […]

02May Fostex PM0.5n 70W 5″ Active Nearfield Studio Monitors

I’ve received a number of e-mails asking what I use to compare audio samples in some of my tests. Besides a nice set of studio headphones I also use a compact but decent set of Near field Studio monitor speakers.
