My Panasonic GH4 Has Arrived. My First Impressions
I was lucky to have my pre ordered GH4 arrive today from Texas Media Systems much sooner than I expected. It wasn’t supposed to be here until the end of April. To my surprise Texas Media Systems emailed me with a tracking number and the next day it arrived. So cool! I love new cameras! I […]
GenusTech Mini Jib Pre Review And First Impressions
I finally was able to get out and set up the GenusTech Mini Jib. I have been on the mend from shoulder surgery and it has taken a little longer than I expected to get back to shooting. Big thanks for all the help I got today from Andy and the mystery shooter. LOL! As […]
Building A Zacuto Recoil Rig. My Hands On Review
I’ve been on a quest to build the perfect camera rig for some time now. In fact I wrote a blog post on just that! Using several different bits and pieces to create a well balanced shoulder mounted rig. I got so close but just never had one system that absolutely worked. I basically quit […]

Tiffen 82mm Variable ND Filter Test

LaCie eSATA Hub. The Thunderbolt Bridge For eSATA Drives
I recently bought a mighty sweet 15″ 2013 Retina MacBook Pro. It came preloaded with Mavericks and for the most part I like it a lot!

GH3 Battery Grip For Only $70 & It’s Awesome!
I love it when you find a great deal. I love it even more when it’s also a great product! That happened when I found this GH3 battery grip on eBay. I usually have low expectations when I find after market products and no offense but some of the Chinese stuff can be iffy, but not […]
Fhugen Honu GH3 Video Cage Hands On Review
The Photography and Cinema Fhugen Hono (pronounced as Fusion) is a custom designed GH3 cage. Yes it’s made specifically for the GH3. This is great because it fits the GH3 like a glove. You have access to all the features and all the compartments of the GH3 without any issues. Universal cages could have issues […]
