Has anyone had any luck with batteries other than the Genuine LP-E6 Canon battery in the 7D? I'd like to buy a couple 3rd party batteries but I've read horrible reviews. If you've used one successfully can you please send me a link? J

Looking to purchase a lens with the range of 24-70mm for my Canon 7D DSLR. I was very interested in the Canon 24-70 f2.8 "L" but am starting to think that its not worth the $1200 price tag. I'm also not sold on how heavy the thing is and the fact that it doesn't have hard focus stops (something...

Hey guys, I shot a wedding a week ago on my 7D and Canon XH-A1 and for the most part shot 720p60 on the 7D. On the A1 I shot in 1080i60. My thought was to be able to overcrank some shots in post and convert the rest to 24p footage. What is the best way to go about converting 60i footage into...

Anyone know where I can rent standard V-mount batteries? I've got a Datavideo 7" monitor with V-mount on the back that I'd like to power. I'm shooting a wedding and need something that will last me at least 6 hours. Whether thats possible in one battery or two i haven't a clue.

Anyone know where I can rent standard V-mount batteries cheaply? I'm trying to power a Datavideo TLM-700HD monitor with them. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey guys, I just contacted Datavideo and requested a demo unit of their TLM-700HD monitor. However, now that I'm thinking of it I am wondering if this monitor can be powered by a battery? Does anyone know? The only thing I see on the website is that the monitor includes a V-mount...nothing...

Guys, what do ya'll recommend for a solid, affordable slider for my 7d? Looking to spend under $500 and get something at least 2 feet long.

Your input on the minimum required for decent looking day exterior during full sun and overcast throughout a day...obviously "decent" is subjective. I'm shooting with a 7D so I have a little more latitude due to sensor size. As far as actors go...no more than 3 in a scene at any given moment...

Now if you guys have been following my posts you know that i've been in the market for an external LCD monitor for my 7D rig. Well i've narrowed it down to SmallHD but have another pickle. SmallHD 5.6" or 8.9"?? They are both $899 and the 5.6" offers much higher rez for the size. 1280x800 for...

Does anyone know anything about the new firmware released for the 7D? What does it correct/improve? Is it worth upgrading? Thanks

Hey guys looking at purchasing a Cavision follow focus to save a couple hundred bucks. Any thoughts about this? Does anyone own one and do you feel that its a quality product. If not I might have to "bite the bullet" and go with a Redrock Micro of Zacuto. Thanks in advance for your input and...

Anyone know if its possible? I'd like to split the signal coming out of my Canon 7D and sent one split to an on-cam monitor and the other to a director monitor. Only problem is i'd really rather not be tethered by a power cable as well....HDMI is one thing but a consumer grade power cable could...

Overall I need to buy 2 pieces of glass for my 7D to make my rig useful. I've got a cheap 50mm f1.8 canon lens but obviously that is junk compared to anything in the L series. I am looking at the Canon L series 24-70mm f2.8 lens but am kinda worried about the $1k price tag. Have you guys worked...

I just purchased a Canon 7D DSLR a few months ago along with a Redrock Micro deluxe shoulder mount. Focus is impossible to pull without an external monitor and I am now looking for something that I can mount either on the hot shoe of the camera or on the handlebar of my shouldermount. What do...
