Yesterday, Canon released a new firmware for the C100 and C300 that allows you to use ridiculously high ISO numbers, like 80,000. We were intrigued and wanted to know two things 1) How bad is the digital noise at ISO 80,000, and 2) Does the new firmware improve lower ISO settings (i.e. Does ISO 850 have less digital noise on the new firmware vs the old)? We put a quick video together to get some answers.
Videos of the DJI Phantom “GoPro” helicopter have been flooding the internet for the past several months. This small, inexpensive copter gave low-budget shooters and hobbyists the ability capture unique, sweeping arial shots. This month, a new DJI Phantom has been released with the some new features, including a built-in camera.
Now that Blackmagic has three different cameras in production, we thought everyone might like a quick overview of the differences between the Cinema Camera, 4K Production Camera, and Pocket camera.
RODE Microphones has just added an awesome feature to their site called the RODE Soundbooth. Now no matter where you are you can check out all of RODE’S microphones and compare the audio and quality side-by-side.
All of the audio was recorded simultaneously from the same source to give you an accurate sample of each microphones capabilities. RODE Soundbooth currently has twenty three of their microphones including the NTG8, NTG3, NTG2, NTG1, VideoMic, Stereo VideoMic, VideoMic Pro, Stereo Video Mic Pro, NT4, NT5, Broadcaster, Procaster, Podcaster, Lavalier, PinMic, HS1, K2, NT1-A, M1, and M3.
The Soundbooth also allows you to hear the mics in five different scenarios that you would normally encounter including indoor and outdoor dialogue, voice over, acoustic music performance, and live reinforced music.
We think this pretty awesome! There’s never quite been something like this before to compare mics and we are definitely looking forward to the iPad version that will be coming out this year.
Go here to check RODE’s Soundbooth out and find the perfect mic for your next production.
