I received my Zacuto Z-finder yesterday, so I had to leave my 7D for 24 hours until the mounting frame was securely attached. Today, after getting back home around midnight, I wanted to test it a little before I go to bed. (Note: this is a very quick test) 3x magnification is really nice. A big difference. However, you should know that each pixel on LCD is blown up 3x so it looks sharper WITHOUT..

Ordered this absurdly over-priced accessory for my 7D called Zacuto Z-finder. It helps to overcome some of the limitations of Video-DSLRs as they were not manufactured primarily for shooting videos. It turns LCD into a viewfinder which lets you focus better and lets you see details in bright settings. It also adds stability by providing a point of contact. Please do not google it to check the pr..

Panasonic was slow on re-stocking GH-1, which I have been checking everyday for last 2 months, and Nikon was slow with D300s also... Canon, who has been dominating the world of DSLR video with its widely celebrated and loved 5Dmk2, introduced EOS 7D yesterday. 7D has features that are as good as 5Dmk2 (but not full frame sensor) at the price of GH-1 (not exactly, but almost). Now discussions are..

Recently added this Glidetrack to my equipment list. Glidecam 2000 PRO was a great investment, but I can't use it any more until I get a lighter 2nd camera. I'm not sure how much I will be able to utilize the glidetrack, but I'm totally excited to try it out soon. It was shipped from Europe and I picked it up from FedEx yesterday. (had to go twice because the first day I got there, I realized I ..

Glidecam 2000 PRO 드디어 사고야 말았다. 비록 돈이 없어서 $799 짜리 Steadicam Merlin 을 사지는 못했지만, 이걸로도 괜찮을거 같다. 금요일 저녁 피곤한 몸을 이끌고 바로 자려 했지만 셋업하고 balance 하고 시험해보느라 2시가 넘어서야 잤다. Review 에서 읽은 대로 확실히 무겁고 오래 들고있긴 힘들다. Balance 하는것도 결코 단순한 일이 아니다. 연습이 많이 필요하지만 그 사실이 나에게는 반갑고 도전이 된다. 장비 하나 구입해서 아무나 잘 찍을 수 있는 것이라면 카메라맨이라고 불리우는 것 자체가 merit 이 없으니까. 감기가 걸려서 몸이 찌뿌둥하지만 얼른 나가서 연습해야겠다.
