Just posted a few days ago, YouTube member djteebz appears to be the first with his review on the little 5.6″ external LCD. The video below is an unboxing, run through of the feature menu, along with some pros and cons with the Canon 5D Mark II.

Where’s my Swivi Review? Well the Swivi has a [...]

Sorry guys, i’m in a bit of a rush today but thought i’d share some quick pics of Varavon’s sexy new Loupe EX. You can see how there are a variety of adjustments that can be made under the loupe to fit different cameras. When i’m free i’ll touch on it more.

Is it me or is this something new from Flycam? I don’t remember seeing something exactly like this before in their product line. It’s a new body vest support for those Flycam DSLR Stabilizers. It doesn’t look like your typical spring loaded isoelastic stabilizer arm, so it may not be used for walking or running [...]

Note: This is not the final rig i’ll be using. I’m just throwing parts together this morning to see how well the idea (in my head) works with all my budget parts. I’m using the Skier Rig (review found here) to hold everything together while I mock up the idea. The Skier rig is extremely [...]

Frank writes in and shares a new find [Thanks Frank]. Probably best known for their budget follow focus a.k.a. ‘RJ Follow Focus’, here’s a new Matte Box in their product lineup. Not long ago they offered a cheaper plastic version, which I didn’t think too highly of. Seems like they were listening and is now [...]

Polaroid Motorized Pan Tilt
Here’s an interesting product that was linked to from Venga. The idea was to use it on the Pico Flex Dolly. What you see above is an inexpensive motorized Pan / Tilt head with wireless remote. Previous popular inexpensive motorized pan heads were from Bescor, but this is a new version [...]

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 [...]

Great job from Vimeo member Oliver for this DIY motorized Pico Flex Table Dolly. It’s a direct friction based drive wheel, which doesn’t require much torque. The dolly rolls very easily with little effort from a motor. I was testing out something similar several weeks ago using a pulley wheel to a continuous rotating servo [...]

(BTW: The video (below) was shot on the Fuji X10. Notice all the aliasing? I think the Sony HX9V shoots better video, but the X10 does way better Photos)

Even though small cameras don’t share the same video quality as the DSLRs, I still love to shoot with them. Especially for little reviews like this on [...]

Varavon shows it’s latest Loupe EX Solo View Finder on a Canon 60D. The Loupe EX Supporter (metal bracket) was designed to work on swivel LCD cameras such as the GH2, 60D, T3i. Without the Supporter bracket, the new Loupe EX can be mounted on cameras using a metal frame at the tripod mount. The [...]

What do you think about when you hear the name Benro? Maybe photography tripods? Photography monopods? Photography ball bead mounts? Benro is a pretty decent name when it comes to lightweight sturdy tripods, but they’re not known to be dabbling into the video market (until now) [Thanks Deepak].
The New Benro AD71FK5 Dual Stage Video [...]

Here’s a first look at the changes in the newest design Konova K-Slider – Video Camera Dolly. For some excellent examples of the old version in use, check out Olivia’s video (click here).
The most noticeable changes are with the new adjustable feet / legs. The ends of the slider have also been slightly changed [...]

Swivi (Swi-vee), the external 5.6″ swivel LCD monitor has been showing at PDN New York for the past few days (still showing) and a few blogs have already published about it. I have not seen the final version of this product, but I hear the build quality was beefed up and other software features were [...]

Here’s a very simple mod you can do with a Fotopro Transformer tripod or sometimes called the Polaroid All Terrain tripod. Available in ugly chrome and Gunmetal Grey. When choosing, be aware that some packages don’t come with all the pieces. It’s probably found under several different names too, but basically it’s a flexible tripod [...]

First video review from Vimeo member Pretty Little Films on the Micro Crane blogged here earlier. Original article found here. The footage looks smooth, and all the comments fairly positive. For the price and availability in UK, this could be one popular little crane. The micro crane from DSLR Devices are found following the link [...]
