Tether Tools StrapMoore Neoprene Straps. Great for strapping batteries and power bricks to stands
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 […]

Sony FS5: Quick Slog2 S-Gamut Test Plus First Impressions
I took the Sony FS5 outside for a very quick test in bright light. For this I used the Sony E 30mm f3.5 Macro. This cheap lens is a very good performer. I use it a lot on the a6000 since it’s APS-C. Works great on the FS5 too. I really like shooting macro. It’s […]
Getting Audio Into the Sony a6000. Yep. It can be done PLUS Sony UWP-D Wireless
