Had a complete blast at NAB this year. Was great seeing some new gear and meeting a lot of cool people.
I am very late in releasing this video, but better late then never!

Redrock Micro
I just got an email from Redrock Micro regarding the wireless follow focus system. Looks like its not dead and they have also been working on a motor which will be introduced before long. They are calling it the Redrock Torque Motor and it will be a fraction of the cost or other FF motors currently available.

So its been awhile since RedRock Micro announced their MicroEVF and Zacuto showcased their ideas for the Z-FinderEVF. Since then there have been some changes in specs, information, pricing, etc. The main changes being Zacuto adding mounting options, and Redrock adding a loupe through HDMI support (copycat?). Here are some videos from both manufacturers updating us on EVF info.

Robin Schmidt (also know as El Skid), recently posted a video and blog post showing off his “Beastmaster” rig. The rig is designed around two cameras. One 5D and a 7D. While this setup seems utterly absurd, there is logic and reason to the madness. Robin explains in his blog post:
“The kind of stuff we’re shooting involves some pretty crazy stunts, like walking down a busy high street wearing a bacon bikini etc. etc. and we really don’t want to hang around too long. Having the two cameras going at the same time means we don’t need to stick around for any longer than we need to. He does a lot of talking to camera and there’s usually a lot of cross-cutting.”

As you know DSLR Video Shooter is not a huge news outlet. Here you will mainly see tutorials, how-tos and reviews. But I though I would start posting bullet points for news items each week.
- 60D anounced.
- Nikon D3100 anounced.
- Redrock micro announces line of “Redrock Ops” rigs.
- New 5D To RGB Plugin.
- New lenses from Canon.
