You’ll rarely find me without a camera. Ok that’s not true, YOU WON’T EVER FIND ME WITHOUT A CAMERA. I’m constantly commuting and sometimes you’ll see i’m posting videos right from my iPhone. Well I wanted a bit more better quality than the iPhone for video, so I recently purchased the Canon SX210 IS. It’s [...]

This is in reference to another article I posted not too long ago. http://cheesycam.com/?p=1594
It’s summer time and I’m sure the kids will get me in the pool quite a few times. So I wanted to up the quality of the GoPro HD underwater. As you know the GoPro HD has a very soft look underwater [...]

Really bad Mockup (fake image below)

There’s been speculation and alot of hype from different Loupe makers about changing the way we currently ‘view’ through DSLR’s. One statement from a well known company (I won’t quote completely), mentioned something kinda like:
‘Right now you hold the camera up to your eye, that’s going to change’.
I’ve seen [...]

Ok, another product that’s not out on YouTube or Vimeo. Nobody’s got reviews on these items, why not? They just make sooo much sense. Lighting has always been an issue whenever we traveled. Halogen bulbs can break by the time your plane lands, and you’re pretty much stuck. Hot bulbs are always uncomfortable to work [...]

Update: You can now buy the LCDVF 3/2 from BHPHOTOVIDEO.com.
Grab yourself the LCDVF 3/2 from BHPHOTOVIDEO.com
Thanks to a tip from a reader, I was able to get an early jump on the ‘NEW’ LCDVF viewfinder for the Canon T2i / 550D. The first available LCDVF’s for the 3:2 aspect ratio such as the Canon T2i [...]

These pipe clamps look to be very handy for anyone wanting to create a ‘Rod’ type shoulder rig. Supposedly you can find them around the copper pipe aisles at Home Depot and they have a nice spacing to them which look similar to real ‘Rod rigs’. The front support handles are cutdown Bike handlebars and [...]

This was a friends video project. He decided to use my house to shoot a very short video clip. It’s his project, so i’ll wait to let him post the video before sharing it with you. Those cheap Bike clamps (found here) sure came in handy for us to make a DIY boom pole. I [...]

I’m not sure exactly which infrared remote model number is used on the Canon T2i / 550D, but for the Canon 5D Mark II you would use the RC-1 infrared remote. This is a nice handy little remote to shoot photos and also start and stop video. The problem is that it’s infrared and [...]

Here’s a recent comment regarding the 126 LED Dimmable Multi Battery LED Video Light many people have purchased:
I was wondering you Em or anyone had any experience with color correcting these 126 LED lights to (near) Tungsten?
It’s true, the Tungsten gel that comes with the LED light panel isn’t very close to Tungsten. Now [...]

Ok, i’m really excited to talk about this item, it’s such a great find for me. I’ve seen this item many times but couldn’t find a single YouTube or Vimeo video review about the 717AH Video Fluid Head (note that the number on the box doesn’t always match the number on the fluid head). Other [...]

Here’s a quick run through of what to expect from the Aputure Timer Remote when getting the Intervalometer ( Timelapse ) feature started. This timelapse remote is for the Canon 550D / T2i and will not work with the Canon 7D or 5D Mark II. The connection to the camera is similar to a mini [...]

I’m seeing bits and pieces of video footage coming from Sony’s NEX, now that the camera is available. For now, the above video seems like the best thing i’ve found on Vimeo that someone’s put alot of time into. Flickr has a growing Sony NEX-3 & NEX-5 group showcasing the awesome photo quality, but that’s [...]

First of all, I want to apologize if i’m not very responsive to many of the comments or emails that come in. I’m pretty overwhelmed with the response this blog has, and being a one man show, i’m trying my best! I’m an average guy, with an 80 mile commute (one way) in the mornings, [...]

Vouliagmeni blue hole (Greece) from Dean Linaras on Vimeo.
Not even a day later, I just got a message back from GoPro themselves, I love their super fast support responses. The above video was added to the email back to me as an example of the fix they are working on. It does appear to be [...]

Unlike the 70-200mm F/4 Coffee Mug at the Winter Olympics, this cup was never released directly by Canon. When this lens replica cup was first available, it was a very cheap looking, terrible design, that had many many flaws. After finding that there is a ‘Version 2′ of this lens with over 90% accuracy, it [...]

The GoPro HD Camera is an awesome little camera that can be used in any situation possible. We’ve seen it on land, in near space, and underwater. The underwater footage though doesn’t seem as sharp due to the curved lens on the water proof housing. This design provides many ‘Pros’, but the underwater focus is [...]
