Canon5Dtips Photography is more than words.

In case you did not know, there is a guy pretending that he hacked the Rebel 550 to record 4K clips. More info on Planet5D here. When I initially saw the teaser video, I discarded it has some hoax and did not act on it, given my very bad track record with rumors. Then got this tweet: Then another one ...

Now that 2010 is almost over and 2011 is closing by, I think it would be a good time to step back and take a look at what we should expect for the next year, gear wise. Red Rock Micro – Micro Remote/Sonar When it was first presented, it was an instant hit. We all wanted one, at least everyone ...

Being known as the camera guy, wherever I go, people ask me the same question: Which camera should I buy? Of course, they saw some of my pictures and don’t understand why theirs are not as good as mine. Their natural reaction is to blame the camera (of course), so they want to know more about my camera. Once they ...

The short version For those who do not want to read the whole review: this is the best book/training material about HDSLR video I have seen so far. Get it! The long version What I ...

Thanks to my friend Mathieu from the Montreal Final Cut user group for this one. It is funny, but even funnier are some of the comments: Some Peta people are gonna go nuts on you … I am looking forward to the Giraffe-mounted camera boom… And my favorite: Man straps a camera to the head of his cock, wiggles is ...

This is a post from our contributor Jeremy. Regarding my slider, well.. I am still working on it. Getting my electronic slider working has to be my longest project ever! Stay tuned! I have recently purchased an IndiSYSTEM – IndiSLIDER Mini and as much as I want to say I am in seventh heaven with the thing, it has its ...

I am very happy to announce that I am ready to take pre-orders for the OSCT! What is it? It is a L shapped bracket that you insert between the camera and the camera plate. You can then attach a cable trigger to the camera to press the SET button to start/stop video recording. This is mostly useful when working ...

This post is a reaction to SBG comment about my budget rig article. SBG said : $1500 pretty much only gets you a rig – definitely not a rig AND a quality lens. The pricing of shoulder rigs and accessories is laughable. $107 for a straight grip?? Over $1000 for a matte box? puh-leese! I am sure a lot of ...

Hi guys, I finally managed to update the blog theme. It was about time! While I loved the red/dark style, it was hard to read for a lot of people so I decided to move to something with a better contrast. I also increased the font size and column width to make it easier on the eye. I am still ...
