29Nov DIY Conduit Micro Crane / Jib

The conduit piping is held together with common Conduit couplers. I’ve seen quite a few DIY cranes and personally I think this is one of [...]

28Nov Wondlan Carbon Fiber DSLR Video Camera Stabilizer
Tweet
Wondlan’s sporting a new Carbon Fiber Video camera Stabilizer and Vimeo member LJ Lee has a nice little review. I like the fact that it can be extended long enough to be used as a short monopod, something the Glidecam stabilizers won’t do. It also has a ready quick release system to get the camera [...]

27Nov 3 Roller Wall Mount Background Support
Tweet
One of the things we installed in our second studio space is a 3 Roller Wall Mounted Background Support (seen above with Olivia coaching Luna).

27Nov Latest 12 High Power LED Video Light

Interesting development on the makers of the W96 LED light. They’ve taken all the features of the popular Z96, and then replaced the bulbs with 12 high power LEDs. The bulbs are different, but it still accepts the same battery types from Sony to (5) AA. The housing has a rubberized coating, dimmable with snap [...]
