Hey folks, I am trying to get a clear understanding about just what ProRes RAW actually is, and all I'm finding is a lot of "laypersons" explanations of "how great it is, and easy to work with" which doesn't really tell us what's under the hood. Seeing as how there are already at least half a...

Hey folks, I recently saw an article/video for a new "all-in-one" sort of steady-rig type device but I cannot remember the name of it. It's about $3,500 It has a gimbal that you grip - hand placement is like right below the gimbal joint - and a long body that can sort of 'instantly' become a...

What do you do when you have less than 2-minutes of under exposed BMPCC footage from your friend's Halloween party but they really want you to do something with it? You make some MAYHEM! That's what you do. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmQA2gGxniA

Well, I've finally decided to make the push for either an URSA Mini or a used RED camera, so I'm selling my near MINT condition Samsung NX1. I have used it only half a dozen times or so - mostly for the 120fps Slo-Mo. (Actually I'll probably be letting go of all my cameras that don't shoot RAW...

I can't be the only one seeing this. Black levels not only taking a huge shift, but changing during playback. I'm getting it in both Chrome and Internet Explorer, and a friend says he's seeing the same thing with Firefox on Mac. I upload a piece, and at 720p and 1080p it plays back with a...

I am a real stickler for NOTHING ever touching my glass - and as such I have always just carried all my filters around in the hard plastic containers they came in. But alas, this is really starting to become unworkably inconvenient. I bought one of those TIFFEN belt pouches, but after the Hoya...

The "S" series lenses are already unavailable from B&H Photo and Adorama, and Adorama lists ALL their remaining Samsung lenses as "Closeout". So much for the "lenses being available for a long time".... How many of the good ones ever even made it out into the public I wonder... Certainly not...

I really never watch "Fan Films" because most of them are either horrid or they're working off story lines that you have to know ahead of time for them to make any sense. But... Just saw this Star Wars fan film about Darth Maul and it is UN-FEKKIN'-BELIEVABLE. Incredibly well done, and while...

Hey everyone, For those that watched my video on cheap camera support gear last week and asked about that XT Power $60 battery - well JUST TODAY the link came back online and it is showing as back in stock as of March 6th. Still just $60 too. Get 'em while they're hot...

This is a bunch of basic information about affordable camera support gear. A lot of people who are new to all this Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera stuff (and other DSLR sized cameras), and folks who don't have much money to spend have been asking me about all this lately. I don't have a lot of...

How'd I miss this? The price is plenty decent too. Very interesting. http://petapixel.com/2016/02/11/techart-unveils-worlds-first-autofocus-adapter-manual-focus-lenses/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3binM22uUpg

Title says it all. Anyone using a mouse with extra programmable buttons? And with good results? Which one? How extensively can you program it, and how reliable has it been? THANKS!

'Afternoon all, I need a good Mic Blimp that's not too bloody huge. What's a good and affordable one? I have the RODE Blimp but this thing is BIG...and it's light in color. It's so big that it's almost always a problem. It's distracting to talent, crew, and passersby. Everyone ALWAYS either...

5 reasons the URSA Mini is better than the Sony FS7 1. The URSA Mini comes from people with Australian accents. I think Australian accents are really freakin’ cool. The Sony FS7 comes from people WITHOUT Australian accents. That’s like seriously nowhere near as cool. Like, what were they...

It's no secret - I'm a huge flower guy...HUGE. Always have been. Yes I ride a big loud stinky motorcycle and play drums in a hard rock band, but that's just how it is. Mother Nature threw some of her best in my path last Sunday, and UTLR-Labs was kind enough to have just sent me one of their...

Howdy crimestoppers! So I'd like to get a really good car suction-mount but only for a Blackmagic Pocket Camera or a Panasonic GH2/GH4 either with a small light lens. Bigger than a Go-Pro mount - but not anything that would ever be called upon to support any more than say, a 5D mkIII with an...

OK, now a lot of you all already know this stuff so this goes out to folks that are less familiar: Re-encode your videos THROUGH Vimeo. Yup, you can use Vimeo to get BETTER small-file-size encodings than anything I have ever been able to produce with Premiere and Media Encoder. ESPECIALLY the...

EDIT: SOLVED One uses the 'noise reduction amount' sliders on the "Noise Filter Settings" tab. Can't believe I missed that. DOH! But that's the tab with the sharpening, and I quickly learned that I don't like Neat Video's sharpening so I ignored that tab. Advice: don't ignore that tab.

My underwear is drenched. I am so hot and sweaty from this all hot-light shoot that MY UNDERWEAR IS DRENCHED! This is cruel and unusual punishment. It was an indoor shoot that was an "all fresnel extravaganza"... Lots of cookies and spots and other painted-on light. Don't get me wrong - it...

Since the Tascam DR-70D claims to be able to be powered via USB I decided to give it a test and see If I could find a really good and convenient battery supply. We know these batteries work on cameras etc., It was the Tascam recorder I had doubts about. The point was to find one that had the...
