I'm planning to finally update to a 4k camera after 5 years with my canon Mark iii for my stock footage business. I was initially looking into the A7iii but figured I may as well wait for the flagship camera but how long should I be waiting for exactly? Does anyone know a rough time for it's...

I've been looking on amazon/ebay for something that will allow me to tilt my Aputure light up and down on my light stand although most of the things I am coming across can't support the weight. Could someone please point me in the right direction of what I need to buy to achieve this basic...

I know you can digitise analogue tapes using the Pass-Through feature on the DVX100 however can you also use Pass-Through to tape mini DV footage to VHS tapes (when connected to a VHS player)? (it's for a project) Any response would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!!

I'm wondering if it's possible to record DVDs onto VHS tapes on DVD-VHS combo players. I know you can record from VHS to DVD but can you also do the opposite? It's for a project : ) Any answers would be greatly appreciated thank you.

So I've literally just purchased a DVX100b and I need some advice on a decent work flow and not breaking the camera as I've heard of the firewire cable horror stories. I've only ever shot on a 5D and so I don't know a great deal about the tape workfow at all. Question 1: I've read that using...

I'm currently on a tight budget and I'm shopping for some remotely decent lights for a comedy sketch. I found these on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Multiblitz-PRO-X-1000-Studio-lights-/171521907595?pt=UK_Photography_Lighting_Kits&hash=item27ef809b8b they look decent and portable but I did...

Hi everyone I'm aiming to shoot a documentary soon and various short-films throughout the year but typically I made the mistake spending all my money on a camera (Panny GH2) and lenses without considering sound gear...until now. After a month of saving, working two jobs I finally have a...

Hi there, this might be my first post so hello all! Totally new to filmmaking so expect nonsense but here's the meat: I've been spending days on the internet looking for 'cheap' audio equipment to use for a bunch of shorts I plan to make this year but here's the catch, I'm broke...sort of. I...
