no-nonsense, in depth, informative
The secret's out- the Osee T7 monitor is one of my favorite camera monitors and my go-to in just about any situation. With a quick and full featured interface, 7 inch screen and super bright 3000 nit display, it's ready for anything. But, those 3000 nits can definitely eat up batteries. So, just how much [...]
There are a ton of pocket LEDs on the market these days- ranging from small and cheap to rugged and full featured. The F7, FalconEyes first version of their own pocket LED was well made and ...well, average. It had a magnetized backside but that was about it for standout features, which was OK without [...]
A good, fairly compact, high capacity and full featured video head and tripod is hard to come by without breaking the bank. While hardly the cheapest on the market, the K7 head and TC9 legs from iFootage are also far from the most expensive; but they're a very professional option with lots of convenient little [...]
At $199 (and sometimes cheaper on sale), the Mic-D1 from Synco is one of the cheapest XLR mics which can take either phantom or battery power. It has a built in high pass filter, an all brass anti-RF body and even comes in a carry case with 2 cables, a mic clip and cold shoe [...]
Today, I want to talk about how a high end wireless video monitor compares to a much cheaper solution. I recently reviewed the Hollyland Cosmo M7, a 7 inch 1500 nit professional monitor with their professional grade zero latency Cosmo series receiver built right in. Besides being very rugged, full featured and coming with a [...]
Compact, simple, reliable wireless video up to 300ft (LOS) with only 70ms latency to up to 3 smart devices simoultaneously. The Hollyland Mars X is a powerful choice for beginners and experienced users alike. Get a start in wireless video or expand the convenience of what you can do. Check out the review and comment [...]
Last but not least, the Nuada R4 from Phottix. This was my favorite of the 3. A soft, edge-lit LED panel that doesn't need any further diffusion or modification to get a nice beautiful light. It can be battery powered for a super minimal setup and bright with very high quality output. Add to that [...]
Second up in my 3 part series on Phottix video lights is the Ring60, a (did you guess?) ring light! It's bright, bi-color, wall or battery powered and even has a USB power output for your phone or whatever else you need to charge in one of the 5 built in cold shoe slots. Large [...]
Over the next 3 days I'll be posting 1 review a day for 3 LED Video Lights from Phottix. The first up, is a little pocket sized RGB LED, the M200R. With a super thin design, 3200-5600K white light, RGB and 21 SFX, plus a 4000mAh power bank functionality... it's quite an interesting little light [...]
The Micro 2 Slider got another upgrade! Mobile app motor control!
