I'm a broadcast DP In San Diego. I enjoy sharing what I'm working on and testing new equipment. This blog is also part of giving back. I've learned so much from so many people.
Why Use A C100 If You Have A C300?
I try to practice what I preach. Use the right tool for the job. It’s saves me the headache of trying to get the camera to work for me. When I’m shooting I just want the camera to get out of the way so I can focus only on shooting and capturing audio. When our […]
Panasonic Shows GH 4K at CES. Priced At $2000
A lot of buzz over at CES today over this prototype GH 4K camera. It obviously is a GH3 with a branded 4K label but it does show Panasonic has intentions on making a mirrorless 4K camera and at this point Canon with the 1DC is the only other 4K capable DSLR. The interesting […]
New Sony 4K Handycam FDR-AX100. Stunning Footage For $2K
Click here to play this in 4K to really see what the image is like. I wasn’t expecting much from a $2K 4K Handycam but after watching this hyper sharp and detailed sample on YouTube I was kind of blown away by the FDR-AX100. I have said before that if they wanted to sell UltraHD TV’s […]
Sigma Introduces The 50mm 1.4 DG HSM ART Lens and 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro
I said a few weeks ago to a friend that I think 2014 is going to be a big year for Sigma optics and today Sigma announces a new ART lens. The 50mm 1.4 DG HSM ART. I love the new ART line and the 18-35 is one of my favorite new lenses. This fast 50mm […]
Canon LP-E6 Replacement Battery That Works Just Like OEM For $19
The Canon LP-E6 battery is used with so many external devices as well as several Canon cameras making it a very popular battery, but not the cheapest at $60. If you need several it gets expensive. I’m not a big fan of third party batteries. They usually don’t last as long and don’t work with […]
Matching The Canon 70D To The C100. Can It Be Done?
I have been sick as a dog for the last few days and my hopes to go out and shoot some video with the 70D this weekend pretty much is a bust. I decided to mess around at home and try a few things out. An easy test would be to try and match the […]

Tiffen 82mm Variable ND Filter Test
I wanted to get one variable ND filter to fit all my lenses, so I went for this massive Tiffen 82mm Variable ND Filter. It is BIG but for a reason. The wider outer optic helps reduce vignetting at wide angles. I have several step down rings so I can use the filter with all my […]
Mavericks OS 10.9 Killed My ExpressCard Slot On My Mid 2010 MacBook Pro
I didn’t see this coming. I did my homework and found no real issues to stop me from updating my mid 2010 MacBook Pro with Mavericks OS 10.9. I just bought a new 15″ retina display and all the programs I use work fine with Mavericks so I decided to give it go with my […]
