Here’s a genius little way to add hard stops to a follow focus. While working on his AMC Contest Video (seen here), Chris Weiss decided to remove the white marking disc from a Gini Follow Focus (as seen here) and added a couple of cheap binder clips. As you can see, it’s fully adjustable hard [...]

Just received a couple of these Triple Shoe Adapter Brackets. I guess you can also use it to mount three other hot shoe accessories like a microphone, portable recorder, etc. It’s all metal, pretty heavy duty, and should come in handy for me to mount three flashes or three LED video lights to make a [...]

There was an excellent question in the comments earlier this morning about a decent bowl mount Fluid Head, possibly for the benefits of quick camera leveling. I’m sure there are others who might not know about leveling bases, so I thought i’d do a post. Bowl mount tripods are a good solution for fast leveling, [...]

Here Adoroma shows functions of the FlashPoint 8″ HDMI LCD Monitor with Wireless Remote Shutter. Could be handy for still photographers, and for video the LCD can be used with the direct HDMI connection. The wireless video feature works through SD cables, and because it will disable the on-camera LCD (for DSLRs), I don’t think [...]

The GoPro is awesome, and the HD Hero 2 improves further on it’s video quality. GoPro has pretty much been dominating the wearable sports camera market for some time, but what do you think about Sony’s new Action Cam announced today?

From the long list of features and specs of Sony’s new Action Cam, there’s [...]

This was a small response video to a YouTube comment suggesting I may have purposely dodged bumping the camera around because the MagFilter could easily fall off. I know that several magnets were used during prototyping and only quality magnets were chosen for the final product.
Also to clear other questions up, the metal ring [...]

The Sony NEX-5n is a very popular camera, and now Sony has followed up with the NEX-5R. I tried the NEX-5n, but didn’t like the lack of buttons and dials, so I instead settled with the Sony NEX-7. Now the NEX-5R has borrowed some of the feature sets from the higher end Sony NEX-7 which [...]

Personally I think Canon did a great job on the 5D Mark III to really dominate their own personal DSLR Video market, but the new 1DX will still be their flagship camera for high speed sports photographers. The 1DX sports a 61-Point High Density Auto Focus, dual compact flash media recording, Gigabit Ethernet Port, and [...]

Karl writes in and shares a new video camera slider from Gini Rigs. It’s a double rail system that looks like it runs on linear motion bearings, and comes with a stop clamp so you don’t overrun your slide. [Thanks Karl]
Of all the current slider systems on the market, i’m not really impressed with [...]

Lengthy video from Robert at Juicedlink.com, but helpful in explaining how to get better sound directly into your DSLRs. If you’re not using a preamp with certain microphones, the silent parts of your video will have a slight hiss. If you’re often shooting at loud events with background noises, you probably won’t notice this annoying [...]
