HD Audio with your HDDSLR

I have had several questions on how to set up a HDDSLR “rig” for the best audio. We all know that the internal audio on the Canon 5D, 1D, and 7D is very poor. The following is a setup to mount all the audio gear on camera. If you have the manpower I would recommending having an audio technician run the audio independently from the videographer.

Packing and unpacking has become the norm for me. I was at PDN Photo Plus in New [...]

Why I like the SmallHD DP6 field monitor

I have had my SmallHD DP6 for over a month and have used it on several shoots to include the One Day on Earth Documentary and a cross-country road trip with a stop to Moab to hang out with Tom Lowe from timescapes.org. I have been very impressed with the SmallHD DP6 monitor it is now a must have to keep a solid focus. I have found it to be the perfect size for HDDSLR shooting and great for run and gun work. It is so nice it never leaves the rig. Resolution: All I can say is wow! I have become very accustom to the retina display on the iPhone and the DP6 [...]
