Zacuto DSLR Filmaker Kit

KerryG — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 23:46:10 +0000

You’ve just dropped a few grand for a new Canon 5D Mk II and while you are waiting for it to arrive, your mind is wondering if you will be the next big name in movie making right?Â If that is you then you need the new Zacuto Filmmaker Baseplate Kit. The Zacuto DSLR Filmmaker Kit allows for tripod and shoulder mount use of your DSLR camera for smooth, comfortable shooting.Zacuto kits allow users to make DSLRâ€™s work much like camcorders. The rig can be easily balanced with a few quick adjustments and gives DSLR cameras the stability of a larger shoulder-mounted camera, which will produce smoother shots. The combination of the height adjustable Universal Baseplate and Z-Spacer allows you to mount any matte box and the Z-Focus. The Z-spacer not only raises the camera but also moves it forward so the lens mount is over the rods. You can mount any matte box, but you can make your matte box a swing away matte box by using the Zwing-away adapter included in the kit. The key features of the DSLR Filmmaker kit is the ability to mount a Beachtek audio adapter (DXA-5D), a special unit for the Canon 5D Mark II with audio meters and a headphone jack for monitoring audio; and control the levels of your outboard microphones easily. You can also mount an on-board monitor for both handheld and tripod use.

So call up Santa and add this complete rig to your Christmas list. Oh yeah, and it will only set you back $4,930.

KerryG — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 15:35:59 +0000

Fans of The Digital Photography Show podcast with Scott Sherman and Michael Stein will soon be able to listen to them once again. Scott and Michael are launching their new show, Digital Photography Life over at PersonalLifeMedia.com, the same podcasting network we use here at Camera Dojo. Our two shows, while both about digital photography, are still quite different so you will probably enjoy listening to both. I have been a fan, and a guest, on their previous show several times and am glad to see the continuing this way. Their first official show is due out soon with special guest Scott Kelby. Please head over to their podcast information page and subscribe to their feed now so that you never miss an episode.

What happened to The Digital Photography Show

KerryG — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 12:46:35 +0000

One of the shows that encouraged me to do a podcast was The Digital Photography Show by Scott Sherman and Michael Stein. Their show covered weekly news and information and quite often had some top notch guest interviews. If you were a fan of the show, or are looking for another great podcast, have no fear, they will soon be back with their own show, just not in associated with The Podcast Network. For more information, and to keep updated on their new show, please visit Scott’s Photo Blog at http://www.scottsphotoblog.com. We wish them the best and cannot wait for their new show to launch.
