I found these inexpensive Tether Tools StrapMoore neoprene straps for getting the power brick off the floor and on the light stand. They work great and cost only $19. I use one for my Aputure Light Storm and another on my tripod to hold a large battery to power my a7rii. It works really well […]
Testing the Benro BV4 Fluid Head
I need a small fluid head for mirrorless cameras with cage and accessories. I have the $145 Manfrotto MVH500AH and it’s really not good enough for more than the a7rii and a lens. No counterbalance settings or drag control just pan and tilt locking knobs. I decided to give another Benro a try since I have […]

The new Sony a7r II 3.30 firmware looks to be addressing temperature issues again by “optimizing temperature control, effect is different according to temperature” Man Sony! These descriptions leave you scratching your head. I haven’t had any overheating issues in stills mode yet. Lets just say it ain’t no a6300! That camera drove me crazy! […]
Rokinon Announces a New Autofocus Full Frame 50mm f1.4 Sony E Mount Lens
Just announced on Rokinon’s Facebook page a new line of autofocus lenses in Sony E Mount. I think this is a great decision to go with the E Mount since we need more options. Well maybe not in the 50mm area. Almost to many in that focal length. Rokinon has really stepped up in the […]

The update also includes the prevues updates […]
Getting Audio Into the Sony a6000. Yep. It can be done PLUS Sony UWP-D Wireless
I love my Sony a6000! (now $500) It’s been a great “take me everywhere” camera. It’s really become my blogging camera too. I can fit it in a bag with my favorite Sigma 30mm f2.8 DN lens, and I’m set for BTS shooting. Yes, it has its faults, but all cameras do, right? With all the […]
