Hello Listers. I have had my video gear sitting idle for a while. I've been busy being retired and mostly doing stills for fun. So I whip out some of my kit today and find that some of my Manfrotto camera attachments are deteriorating. Most of the Manfrotto items, like say my focus control...

I sure many of you have a closet full of older generation high quality soft boxes. I do. What have you done to make the adaptation from the typical old school Chimera-Speedring set up to Bowens. TIA Grant

Rycote is now in the shotgun microphone business.

Hello Listers. I need to purchase a new monitor or two for my work station. This is like prepping for a root canal. It is probably going to hurt, and the end result could still cause me some pain and be expensive to boot. When I read user reviews, virtually every monitor has enough detractors to...

Sound Devices has been acquired by Audiotonix. They own some other quality companies so I guess we can hope for the best. G

I totally agree with Alex. In my case, have the NTG3, 4053b, and AT875 mentioned. For what I paid for all three, I could have purchased a high end mic of some sort, at the price of versatility. I figured that if I needed better sound than what those mics and some other good quality mid-range...

DPA makes some pretty exceptional gear, so this review caught my eye: https://www.redsharknews.com/dpa-microphones-4097-review-this-is-the-tiniest-shotgun-mic-youll-ever-see Thoughts?

Hello Listers, I want to add a pop filter or two to my kit. After looking through what seems like a meager selection at BH, I decided to solicit the audio board for recommendations. This will be used for VO and possibly music vocals on a RE20 and or a AT4050. So far I've looked at the Shure...

Hello Listers, I'm trying to expand my capabilities and wondering about stereo mics. In particular I am thinking either the AT4029 or its longer brother the 4027. Both have lots of features and versatility. The more expensive stereo types are out of my network. For indoor applications...

I decided to engage the brain trust. I am in search of a quality, full-frame, very wide angle zoom (or possibly a prime) of 12-14mm on the wide end. Not too concerned about the upper end of the range. I have a 16-35 II and want something a little wider. This would be used primarily for...

Thinking about a fast to set up diffusion scheme for LED panels for a basic interview. What do you use? I'm trying to broaden my horizons here. I have some decent daylight panels and a few bi-color units as well. But I have just never really warmed (pun intended) up to them much. I so much...

I have a small home studio where I do a few projects. I have one of the small adjustable cheapo $70 dollies which fits a C-Stand and it is more than handy with a couple of sand bags for ballast and a smallish light. I know this dolly is pretty wimpy for this duty, but it is only for me, so I...

I am sure the audio braintrust can help me with this. So I have a 17' skiff I am restoring and and want an automatic fog horn. Typically this is done with a VHF marine radio and a 4 ohm hailer horn. The foghorn amplifier and timer functions are built into the radio. Except, the nice and new...

Howdy Listers For sale is a complete Kessler Crane System. I am the original owner and all the hardware is in excellent condition and only used in the field a couple of times. With typical Kessler quality, this system can get you up high when needed, and with the short tip option works great...

An adjacent thread is seeking a multitrack computer recording option. This might have been placed there but seemed like a hijack, so here goes. Does anyone use Apple MainStage for anything? Seem like it would have some serious editing - creation power and if needed can record. Note, I've...

Hello Listers, I have a Sympla control for Canon DSLR model MVR911EJCN. https://www.filmtools.com/manfrotto-sympla-hdslr-canon-remote.html I am well aware that this product has a somewhat sketchy performance history and I think it is now discontinued. I bought this one new from one of the...

Hello Listers, I'm going to shoot more video with a DSLR and of course, I'll miss having the built in ND on my video cam. Fair enough. If I want to rig out, I have some 4x5's but want a solution for traveling light and hand held. So how are you handling this? Do you feel that a good VND...

Hello Listers, I've been considering the purchase of a new dolly-cart to replace the hodge-podge of things I'm using now. Seems the most common solution would be a Rock and Roller. In particular, this appeals to me since some of their models have an accessory shelf which can be used on set...

Hello Listers My Canon DSLRs are working great but are getting a bit older, so I am beginning to imagine a new cam of some sort. I shoots some video along with stills, maybe now approaching 50/50. I have a nice collection of L-glass. Going to an R series would be a real leap of faith fo me...

Hello Listers, This topic was recently discussed for the new 350, that it is possible to get the user buttons assigned so that you can switch between expanded and focus in red. See quote below from a recent thread. Not finding anyway to do this on the 270 thus far, since there are no options...
