Okay, I probably gonna get some flak for this, since this is more an opinion piece, than the usual tec-talk, so keep this in mind, when you break out your flame throwers in the comment section below. So it’s that time of the year, when the whole industry looks at Vegas, eagerly awaiting the new…
This LUT is around since quite a while now, but since I still get many requests, I thought I just make it also here available. I developed this for a project I was working on, and cause a lot of folks liked the look so much, I released it to the wild (as is). It’s…

Imagine a device, that is small and lightweight, has vivid colors, a bright screen, high resolution, amazing contrast, and doesn’t need additional batteries, to monitor your shot. How about recording straight from your camera,…
Steve Yedlin, ASC offers an intriguing demonstration, on how capture formats, pixel counts and postproduction techniques affect image quality and why simply counting Ks is not a solution when selecting a camera.

Just got two BiWin 128GB CFast 2.0 cards. Since they are not on Blackmagic’s official list of recommended cards (yet), a lot of folks don’t consider them safe for prime time. But I saw some good reviews, and also a lot of guys in the forums use them with success on their Ursas, so I thought I give…
Okay, this is actually pretty amazing. I just got my hands on the DigiPin13 wireless LANC controllers – did I mention wireless? Yeah – wireless! As far as I know, this is the first and only wireless LANC controller out there, and it works pretty well with Sony, JVC, Canon and – low and behold-…
I have a ton of sliders. The first 2 or 3 of them, I build myself (we been all there), but actually they never really cut it for me. I just don’t have the necessary machines to do it right, so it was always something, that I was able to assemble right out of Homedepot.…
I have to say, that this comes from a guy, who hates LED lights. I tried many of them, and though most of them feature a CRI in the ballpark of 90, I was never happy with the skin tones. And yes, I’m obsessed with skin tones, cause skin is what I shoot most of…

And if you are looking for something like this under 1000 bucks, you are usually looking for a unicorn. Well, this unicorn actually…
