Wow, awesome stuff here by NauticamUSA.com. Yeah first time i’ve heard about them too! Maybe because I was never crazy enough to take my gear underwater. The rig looks pretty sick and they’ve got something for the Canon 7D as well. I believe there is a Nikon D90 in there too, but who cares. JK [...]

I’ve been getting alot of comments and questions regarding these new Canon 550D / T2i battery grips that are now available from eBay overseas starting at only $36 dollars!!. With so many readers following this blog, I felt a responsibility to do an official review on these things. I placed my order with an [...]

Originally the battery grips for the 550D and T2i were very hard to come by. There were no aftermarket ones available. There were of course aftermarket batteries, which I was able to purchase and they work great, but I had to special order an OEM canon grip from Calumet in San Diego. I just got [...]

Yeah everything that guy Midas touched turned to gold. Sounds great, but didn’t work out too well. Lately everything the Cheesycam blog talks about inflates like prices of Gold. I just got a comment regarding the aftermarket 550D / T2i batteries from an eBay seller. I won’t mention any names, but i’ll embed a JPEG!

So if it weren’t for the gear, this post wouldn’t make much sense on this web blog. This is the first day using the Cricut Cake cutter. Wifey received it a while back, but never had the chance to break it out. The Cricut Cake Cutter is a cool little machine that can cut Fondant [...]

This video is great for several reasons. First, it’s coming from someone who’s fairly new to shooting video on DSLR’s. Secondly, it’s coming from a 550D / T2i and the footage is amazing. Third, it’s using all Nikon lenses with a Canon adapter, which goes to show, even with other lenses you can capture great [...]

Ebay reports this is one of the top sellers for the Camera category as of today. This eBay seller with over 48,000 feedbacks and 100% user feedback on sales. This 32 GB SDHC card ‘Class 6′ (yes Class 6), perfect for the T2i or 550D seems to be too good to be true for just [...]

Wow, it’s been a struggle trying to get a hold of one of these Battery Grips for the Canon EOS 550D a.k.a. T2i. This is the OEM Canon BG-E8 part number which I could not find in stock on Amazon, Adorama, B&H Photo Video. Much props to the guys at Calumet San Francisco for tracking [...]

Before this video will make any sense, you should know about my DIY BodyPod project found at http://cheesycam.com/?p=93
A BodyPod is not a tripod. It’s basically a cut up monopod that supports the camera by use of a strap attached to the body.
These stick things are used to take a picture of yourself by mounting a [...]

These Canon 550D T2i Batteries LP-E8 are sooo cheap.
One of the decisions you’ll need to make about buying your video DSLR is all the accessories you’re going to need to help you shoot your projects. Compared to the $80 dollar OEM batteries for the 7D, the Canon T2i 550D batteries are chump change. I’ve already [...]

The Hague MMC ( Mini Motion Cam ) is a small stabilizer similar to the Steadicam Merlin design by Garrett Brown. It was ruled out in my books as being totally unsuitable as a Camera Stabilizer for DSLR’s when I first tried it out. The Hague stabilizer is small, lightweight, and cheaper than most [...]
