The landlady was standing there smiling, holding out a tiny white envelope; the Arca Swiss quick release plate that attaches to the bottom of my Tilta cage had really arrived! After waiting what seemed like forever, my local dealer suggested ordering... Continue Reading →
They seem to be everywhere, spamming the comments section of review after review with their cult-like nonsense about Blackmagic being the best camera at any price, with image quality rivaling Arri.

While out on a shoot yesterday morning, we noticed that the pan control on our Gitzo 1545TA went missing.

Does your ColorChecker look like the one on the left? It might be time to replace it! X-Rite designs the Passport to last two years and I purchased my first one in 2017, so I guess that's about right. Now it comes with a nifty lanyard to help keep it from getting destroyed in my...

Some have complained of fan noise from the UltraStudio 4K Mini, so I'm sharing a recording of the sound, first from right up against the unit, then after sitting at my desk just a couple feet away. Compared to my MacBook Pro and LaCie hard drives, the unit is virtually silent. Blackmagic Design UltraStudio 4K... Continue Reading →
