https://www.red.com/stories/komodo-price-drop Am curious what is behind this. 1) the manufacturing might of Nikon allowing them to lower costs? Thus price cuts for their other cameras are coming as well? 2) strong price competion from the BMD Pyxis / Sony FX3 / Canon C70 / Panasonic S5IIX /...

I noticed that the new DJI Mic Mini transmitter can feed directly some of the DJI cameras without even needing a dedicated receiver, thus having a very minimalistic camera setup. However I think this is only for the Osmo Action 5 Pro, Osmo Action 4, or Osmo Pocket 3. Just thought I'd ask...

Heh, I haven't updated my YT channel in ages and ages, am posting about once per year it seems, anywhere, here is another quick update from last night's shoot about my setup with how I had it ready to go for a quick change over for how I'm doing this weekend's shoot: Shows how you can super...

Who wouldn't want their boom to be even lighter? The new Deity S Mic3 and S Mic3S are out. All the goodness of the S Mic 2 but now even lighter. (by a lot! The S Mic3 is less than half the weight of a NTG3 or 416, the S Mic 3S is nearly half the weight of the S Mic3) I like also that you can...

Have had the F3 for over 5yrs, and am toying now with the thought of upgrading it to my next "five year camera". Part of me would like to go to the F5, as the natural progression from the F3, especially as both the F5 and FS7 go for fairly similar prices secondhand so it wouldn't cost me much...

Have loved the Panasonic G6, such a big upgrade from the original Panasonic GH1 which I started this filmmaking journey with (although technically it was my girlfriend's Nikon D90 or my sister's Canon T2i that I borrowed for*the first handful of shoots), but in recent years I've been considering...

One of my favorite Youtube channels did an overview review of the Deity products:

The large size (15.6"), high resolution (it is actually UHD! Not like these other "4K monitors" which merely mean it can take a 4K input, but are only a 1080 screen in reality), low-ish weight & power demands (2Kg & ≤18W), and various features (SDI / quadview / PIP / etc) all make it quite...

The Marantz Pro PMD-706 MK 2 got announced, not really sure why it is worth buying over the mk1? Let alone the excellent Zoom F4, which when on sale sells for almost the same as the Marantz Pro PMD-706 MK1. However, it is good to see Marantz still supporting and developing their field...

Fantastic news! This certainly is making a secondhand Sony FS700 even more tempting with this very compact external recorder. I just wish this new AtomX SDI also included the functionality of the AtomX Sync as well, to give the FS700 timecode...

I hope in the future as the VFX tools we have at hand get better and as crew awareness increases then we'll be able to happily have booms in shot much more often for the sake of improved sound. This is already common place on many shoots such as "House of Cards", and advancing VFX technology...

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...
