Shooting Outside? Scrim It And Bounce It.
One of the toughest conditions for a DP is shooting outside. Weather changes all day. The sun keeps moving. Oh no! Now it’s cloudy. After you make the choices of how you’re going to setup for the shot the conditions change, so you really never know exactly what the shooting conditions will be until you’re […]
Team Tilta Vanishes
I went to see what’s new at the Team Tilta website only to see this. And their Facebook page is gone and Twitter account is closed. However the Vimeo page is still open. Looks like Team Tilta has closed down. I sent them an email but haven’t heard anything back yet. I hope they are still […]
New Zacuto C-Shooter Rig For C100 C300 C500
What could be better on Valentine’s Day than a shiny red present for that someone special, or maybe that someone special is your Canon C camera! I did a hands on review of the C-Shooter and can be found here. The C100,C300 and C500 are the most ergonomic cameras for handhold but if you need to […]
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. […]
Behind The Scene Of 007 Skyfall

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 […]
