SmallHD 502 Packs The Pixels For A Sharp Image In A Small Package
After seeing the SmallHD 502 and the add-on Sidefinder at NAB 2015 I felt it was a very nice product that I would like to buy. A small 5″ monitor with good resolution to help with focus and a convertible viewfinder idea is cool. So I pulled the trigger and got the 502 with the plan to get […]
CalDigit T4 Thunderbolt RAID Packs A Punch In A Small Package
I like many of you need fast dependable storage for active editing projects. For several years I’ve used an eSATA RAID 0 with port multiplying technology with my older Mac Pro Pre-Thunderbolt computer, however RAID 0 is scary because you have “zero” safety. One hiccup and it’s all gone. Since getting a Macbook Pro Retina […]

Benro H8 Fluid Head Hands On Review
Benro H8 Fluid Head Hand On Review from Erik Naso on Vimeo. Benro introduced a couple new fluid heads this year. The 75mm H8 $609 and 100mm H10 $729. These are more expensive and are considered a high end product in the Benro fluid head line. I decided to try out the H8 since I’m using 75mm bowl tripods for the […]
