need to have a frozen mouse in my film. it's difficult to find fake but lifelike baby mice on ebay. i think it's ethically wrong to buy frozen mice (snake food) from a pet store, film them, and throw them out. even one mouse in the trashcan I feel is a waste of a life. But is it okay to do...

smallhd just came out with oled monitors and emphasize color reproduction/depth and true blacks. they look great and tempting, but why would oled be necessary if most of the time we are shooting flat profile like cinestyle anyway? thanks in advance

Anyone notice before recording, at 50 shutter speed, there's a lag with an external monitor...a little strobing. Once you hit record everything seems fine. Is this a known issue? Anyway to fix this? Thank you!

Hey guys, I'm a little confused about recording levels running from a Sennheiser G2 wireless lav through a Beachtek DXA-SLRPRO through to a Canon 7D (AGC now disabled). I've been trying to find how to adjust audio levels online...the best I found was Guy Cochran's from dvestore...but with my...

Anyone notice that the external speaker on their EX1/EX1R is practically unusable? I have to turn up the audio monitor volume to full just to barely hear my clips. With headphones I have absolutely no problems. Is this normal or just with my camera? Thanks in Advance. Erik

Hey, This is a problem I've had but I don't know how I've been solving it. My G3 wireless transmitter or receiver will display CHARGE and automatically shutoff. I'll replace it with fresh batteries and it still will display the same thing and shut off. Only after a short random amount of...

Hi, Need some help here. I mistakenly shot vows at a wedding at 60fps and not 24fps on my 7D. Is there anyway to convert to 24fps so it plays in real time and not slow motion? As if I shot it natively at 24p? I have audio from a second camera. Using FCP 6 Studio on a mac. Thank you in...
