Adobe 2015 Release of Creative Cloud Is Now Ready But Are You?
Here is the update that we all heard about at NAB and it’s now ready for all of us. I have a love hate relationship with Premiere Pro CC. I edited a long format show and boy was it a PITA to color grade and my editor also was pulling his hair out doing […]
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 […]

AJA CION Gets $4000 Price Cut. Is The Price What’s Holding You Back?
Today AJA announced that the CION will be on sale for $4995. Thats $4000 off! WOW right? Last year I checked out the CION and since I had shoulder surgery I wasn’t able to put it on my shoulder. Bummed but I did like the look and layout of the camera. It really went in […]
DJI Ronin-M Goes On Pre-Order At An Incredible Price
At NAB I was told the DJI Ronin-M would retail around $2K but hopefully as low as $1500. Well they went even lower to $1399. Thats a very competitive price for this 3-axis gimbal system. I played around with it for a bit at NAB and it is very well balanced and so much lighter […]
Avid Introduces A Free Version Of Media Composer – Media Composer l First
Avid has been a Hollywood NLE platform for sometime. Now a new version is in the works and it’s free. What does this mean? The offering is still in the works and is scheduled for release later this year. I remember “Avid Free DV”. I think that’s what they called it. It didn’t really gain […]
Aputure DEC Wireless Lens Remote Adapter In For Review. This Thing Is Very Cool!
I just received a prototype of the Aputure DEC Wireless Remote Lens Adapter. This version is for the Sony EF mount so I’ll be testing it on the A7s. Aputure also has one for the GH4 MFT mount. Aputure products are becoming very popular with me in the last year. I use their HR672S LED […]
SmallHD Introduces The 502 Series On Camera 5″ 1080p Monitor Plus Sidefinder EVF Loupe
With monitors getting bigger it’s nice to see a smaller lighter 5″ model that is loaded with features and is full 1080p. The new SmallHD 502 looks to be just that. I expect we will see more models in the 500 Series in the future. Using a gimbal without a monitor is tough. I’ve done […]
New Convergent Design Update Adds 4K downconvert & More ProRes Options
Today Convergent Design has released a new update for the 7Q+ that enables a few nice features including one I really wanted. More ProRes flavors! Apple ProRes 422 & Apple ProRes 422 (LT) to go along with Apple ProRes 422 (HQ). I like this a lot especially when shooting with a more baked in look. Another new feature […]
Upgrading The Processors On My Early 2009 Mac Pro At A Bargain Price
I’ve been looking at buying either a iMac 4K or the new Mac Pro but both are so expensive I just kept putting it off. I have two Macs right now. An aging early 2009 Mac Pro with two Quad-Core 2.26 Ghz processors model ID MacPro4,1 and a MacBook Pro Retina. Great laptop. Both get the job […]
