Not long after posting about Multiple Mounting brackets you can use to add accessories to your DSLR, I was submitted this neat little mount by olahf.

I’m thinking this would be a great addition to my new Canon Coffee mugs. LOL. Vests are geeky, but if you’re hired to work on a gig, they are actually very functional. It’s like wearing a backpack, but instead of all the pouches on your back, you got gear all over your body. From [...]

Wow, just a day after posting the Canyon Creek video shot on a 550D / T2i with Nikon lenses, there’s been a flood of interest. I had no idea that Nikon lenses to Canon bodies were so unfamiliar. So here’s a post to talk about the Nikon lens to Canon adapters. The most basic of [...]
27Apr Limited Edition Canon 5D Mark II

The Canon EOS 5D mark II changed everything about HD Video as we know it. It’s a legend in it’s own right, and there will be a time when Canon calls for it’s End Of Life. That will be a sad sad day.. This might not be something new for many of you, but these [...]

16Apr $99 Dollar Camera Slider
Tweet
Not too happy with the Fluid Head that comes attached with this $99.00 dollar slider from IndiSystems, but the rail and carrier work pretty well. It looks thicker than other Camera Slider rails out there, but it’s actually hollow and very lightweight. This 2 foot version of a silder is easier for my type of [...]
