https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1185424-REG/sony_pxw_fs5_xdcam_super_35.html Spotted the news when I was checking up on the HiSpeedCamera website: http://www.hispeedcams.com/sony-fs5-240fps-full-hd-camera-gets-750-price-drop/ Didn't realise a new FS5 had dropped to well under four...

After all the build up hype, DPA has now announced the details of their new mic (it is teeny tiny!): https://www.dpamicrophones.com/news/dpa-delivers-exquisite-sound-with-its-tiniest-ever-microphone-capsules https://www.dpamicrophones.com/3mm Allen Lee Williams III ("Sound Speeds") has...

Surprise surprise, the Nikon Z6 is still a better and cheaper camera for us filmmakers than the newly announced Canon EOS R! Sure, it gained 10bit output and log (just like the Nikon Z6), but it basically is still a Canon 5Dmk4 (which means an awful crop, so why bother buying a FF camera in...

Started a new thread for this, as it is an area (timecode!) in which the sound department overlaps with the camera department thus it might interest the camera geeks here as well. Because I got to try out the NanoLockit for the first time, was impressed with its feature in how it can autodetect...

Am pondering buying a Sony FS700 (as you might see from the other thread) The FS700 does 12 bit compressed linear raw from its SDI output, which seems like a backwards step vs the 10bit Slog out of the F3? As you really need to get 16bit linear raw before it is better than 10bit Slog. (such as...

Just finished my a weekend of shooting with the Liliput A5 for the first time, and I really liked it! Was a nice screen (in fact the B cam would often be using it for himself! Rather than for its purpose: to be pointed at me, so I could keep an eye on the B Cam shots), seemed to be battery...

Has any one had issues with timecode from a Sony PMW-F3 when sent to an HDMI recorder? Am shooting a feature film at the moment with 2x Sony PMW-F3, and yesterday I couldn't get timecode working at all with A Cam. Because they're F3 cameras which only do 8 bit internal but have 10 bit...

As it is on sale right now at B&H for just under eighty bucks: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1272800-REG/senal_utm_86_35h_lavalier_mic_with.html

Have been reading the manual, and this confirms the F8n can supply power to the FRC-8: https://www.zoom-na.com/sites/default/files/products/downloads/pdfs/E_F8n.pdf Which is nice, as the F4 could do this but the original F8 could not.* And yes Rick, this is software built into the F8n itself...

Agreed. Get as many rehearsals with the actors beforehand in some other rehearsal space before the shoot day itself. You have no time at all for directing of the actors, you need to bang out those shots one after another double quick. Lighting and camera set up in only half an hour??? (even...

(emphasis mine) That is genius! Demonstrating once again that the best place to save money (or time, and time is money) is in the script!

A Zoom rep is here in this video talking about the Zoom F8n, a "sneak peak": https://www.facebook.com/productionsoundsolutions/videos/1594817170571774/ The recorder is still a few months away ("July"), and details are not yet concrete (price is looking to be twelve hundred dollars).* But...

Very cunning! I need to remember this for the future, seems so obvious yet never considered it when I've encountered it myself.

Are you thinking about getting another wireless? Then boy do I have a deal for you! These (which are in my view *the best* low budget wireless! Is why I own FIVE sets of them) are having a cracking good sale deal on right now (limited time flash sale at B&H)...

Quite excited to give this a spin, once the new gel pads arrive. They share the same drivers as in my Sony MDR-7506 headphones, thus the listening experience should be the same but with a 45dB reduction on any external sounds leaking in! This would have been especially useful last weekend when...

Never seen this product before, as it is a brand brand new product that isn't shipping yet. But as a Marantz it should be worth checking out. Has a low low price of US$399 2.4 GHz Digital Transmitter (like RodeLink, no need to worry about what frequencies are legal) All info on the top...
