Kessler Kwik Release System Review
Stills photographers have had the Arca-Swiss quick release systems for years. Many different companies offer their version of this proven way to mount a camera on a tripod. My favorite is Really Right Stuff. High quality and expert craftsmanship. For use video guys we pretty much were stuck with Manfrotto quick release systems. A much […]
The Zacuto C100 Z-Finder Pro Now Available For Preorder
The C100 is a great camera with very nice ergonomics for handheld use. The viewfinder on it isn’t so good. It’s very small and is placed to close to the back of the handle and your forehead touches it. I feel like I’m cramming my face into it and still cant get a good view […]

Panasonic Shows Consumer 4K Camera At CES
Panasonic is finally showing a new camera off and this one is 4K. It’s a “working proof of concept prototype” so no model number so it’s possibly just a shell of a camera with a 4K sensor that will be in several different cameras. Sound familiar? and I have no idea about the sensor being […]
Getting My Hands On The Canon C100

Behind The Scene Of 007 Skyfall
I like all Bond films. What can I say. I grew up with them and like many others growing up watching these films we all wish we could be Bond. Well maybe for a day or two. Skyfall was special to me because they came back to the the root of Bond films with several […]
