Two Days Left (ends June 10th). Several retailers are currently offering a huge $300 dollar discount for the Panasonic DMC-G5 Body + 14-42mm vario bundle now down to just $398.
This is a great price for an entry level Micro Four Thirds camera that can capture some amazing images. Here’s a link to Flickr.com showcasing [...]

The Panasonic DMC-GX1 was a popular little Micro Four Thirds camera only released about a year ago. At 4mp burst mode, the camera can capture a fast 20 frames per second. Besides the built in pop-up flash, the GX1 still offers a hot shoe for attaching a more powerful external flash. The camera can [...]

The GH2 or other small video cameras are very lightweight and the selection for a quality stabilizer are few. Lately, there’s been some interest around modifying a Steadicam Smoothee to work with such light cameras. I was able to modify one successfully, but I never got around to showing it’s full capabilities. So it’s great [...]

You’ve probably heard the buzz around other websites that Panasonic officially announced their GX1 camera (wasn’t a big secret) along with another small 3D camera. Their previous GF2 and GF3 cameras were pretty much released one right after the other, and failed to appeal to a mass market. I have a feeling they’re missing the [...]

I’m sure many of you already know about this particular Velbon fluid head. It’s been a hit for a while now, and I thought it was finally time for me to test one out. As much as possible I love shooting with smaller cameras, and this fluid head was a great surprise. Works great as [...]

Some people swear by shooting only cards that are 8GB in capacity Max. I shoot with 32GB cards, call me a Danger Seeker. Some people shoot only Sandisk media. I personally shoot with the Transcend Class 10 or 400x Media Cards.
Regardless of anyone’s rhyme or reason you can grab a Sandisk 8GB SDHC Class 10 [...]

Yes it’s an amazing camera if you can actually get a hold of one. Retailers are always out stock, and even if you can find a GH2 it’s going for a pretty nice markup. Samy’s seems to have 1 single Black (Body only) in stock for regular price. Here’s your chance to save $200-$300 dollars [...]

Cameras are getting smaller and lighter. People are attempting to fly GoPro’s and iPhones on Steadicams. For lightweight cameras including Sony’s A55, Panasonic GH2’s, or Canon T2is, here’s a simple DIY DSLR Steadicam (merlin style) stabilizer idea from Vimeo member KFLeung. There isn’t much tooling required, it’s more of an assembly of readily available pieces [...]

If you’ve got a Panasonic GH2, or other Micro Four Thirds camera, you’ll know what this lens is. It’s been tough to track down lately when they went out of stock because it’s just that awesome for a MFT camera. Luckily I grabbed mine months ago, and it’s been on the GH2 as the primary [...]

Panasonic GH1 / GH2 have a strong following and when it comes down to DSLR video it’s almost ‘cult-like’. Ok guys – you win. Panasonic does have some awesome qualities in DSLR video, but I still can’t get through the ergonomics as quickly as I can the Canon DSLR’s. That’s a personal preference. Of course [...]

How serious is the world taking the (MFT) Micro Four Thirds movement? Pretty seriously I guess if Zeiss is now making the Compact Prime cinema lenses for a native MFT mount to cameras like the GH1, GH2, or Panasonic AF100. Originally available in just PL, and then to interchangeable PL + EF (Canon) mounts, this [...]

If you’re looking to do Timelapse with the GH2, there’s a few options for remotes (none as cheap as the ones available for Canon). Vimeo member Olivia writes in showing the Pixel Intervalometer (a.k.a Timer Remote) in action. Seems to do the job pretty well firing off the camera at whatever chosen interval setting. Not [...]

These ‘other style’ LED lights are popping up everywhere you look, especially on eBay were most of the LED Video lights start out. At first glance the style is similar to the Comer light, but it’s not the same, and it’s not even half the price of even the ‘generic Comer‘. The above video review [...]

If you’ve been following the long wait for the Atomos Ninja HDMI recorder, then you’ll know it should start shipping this week (hopefully). It’s a sexy little unit that acts like a low res monitor, but is really a portable recorder to capture uncompressed Video goodness. Many times this is done by connecting a Video [...]

I love me some RedRock Micro gear, but unfortunately i’m just one of those poor souls who can’t afford even their entry level stuff. As seen in the image below, this is just one bundle in the line up of RedRock Micro’s Nano rigs called the Running Man. Pretty solid piece of gear that doesn’t [...]
