Bracket1 Camera Accessories Mounting Solutions
I’ve always struggled with mounting an Lectrosonics UCR411a receiver to my AF-100 and now C300. These cameras are small, and that 411a receiver is big and heavy. The smaller Sennheiser and Sony receivers are so much lighter and also come with cold shoe adapters that work very well to mount them to your camera. […]
Getting My Hands On The Canon C100
My hands on review can now be found here. Many Canon C100 cameras are getting into the hands of cinematographers and I’ll have my hands on one Monday. I rented the C100 from lensRentals.com for seven days so I can play with it and also shoot two news image promos with it. I’m excited! From […]
Testing Out The Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm
I spent two hours at The Mission San Diego to get a few test shots with the new Lumix 12-35. I just reviewed some of the footage and I’m pleased with the performance so far. I had a couple issues with shooting indoors so I wanted to try it outside in different lighting conditions. The […]
Tilta III Follow Focus Just Arrived
My Tilta Follow Focus just arrived. First impression? Very well machined piece of kit! Not as stiff as the TrusMT and that I like. The small thumb screw on the side of the follow focus acts like a break giving two damping levels. Open it feels like a free wheel. Great for cine lenses. Tightening […]
Manfrotto Fig Rig Review
Yes, I know the Monfrotto Fig Rig isn’t a new camera stabilizer but I when you need such a tool this rig works well. I had a series of promo shoots that required me walking along side with talent while they delivered lines to the camera. Not a very easy angle to shoot handheld. CLICK […]

Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm F2.8 ASPH. Finally!
Yes finally! This Is A Big Deal. MFT is a great format, but native lenses are lacking and finally Panasonic has created a fast and very popular focal length (24-70 equivalent in 35mm) lens for the Mico Four Thirds format. This lens is going to be a game changer for the Lumix line. No other […]
Nvidia Geforce GTX 285. CUDA On The Cheap For Mac
I had to get away from Final Cut Pro 7. Render times and overall performance has gone down when editing with HD content. In SD FCP was great. Final Cut Pro 6 came out in 2007 that makes it 5 years old to date. FCP X wasn’t an option when it was released since it […]
Super Thin HDMI Cables. PNY & Rocketfish
Well, this may be the least sexy article I have written about. On second thought I really haven’t written anything sexy at all, but the topic of cables are somewhat bland. However when I found theses new super skinny HDMI cables I dare to say I got kind of excited. Goes to show you how […]
Trusmt Follow Focus
I’ve been looking for a follow focus for some but with everything else I needed I just couldn’t afford to get the one I wanted. Follow focuses are a tricky little device. They have to work well or your better off not using one. The ones that do work well cost a bunch. Like order […]
