Yesterday, I had the chance to visit the Sound Devices booth and talk to co-founder Jon Tatooles about the PIX-E5 4K recording monitor from their new Video Devices line.

Today Ian and I spoke to Pierre Davezac, President and Founder of Exhauss, about the new Exhauss Exoskeleton, a gimbal support system designed to help take the weight off the operator and redistribute it over the core section of their body.

Today I stopped by the Zeiss booth at NAB 2015 and talked to Richard Schleuning, National Sales Manager, about new developments in their product line.

We recently covered Canon's big pre-NAB announcement of the C300 Mark II, and today at the show I was able to stop by their booth for a closer look.

NAB is upon us, and while we are already seeing lots of new announcements, the show itself will be filled with even more surprises. We often get asked what to expect from the show and what you should check out.

Canon has just unveiled the much-rumored C300 Mark II, adding to the expansive Cinema EOS family. Positioned between the original C300 and the C500, the C300 Mark II incorporates several features that expand the usability and breadth of the platform.

We have big news for cinematographers: the long awaited Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) is now available in its first production-ready release.

Sony has announced a new firmware update to the FS7 that will be available free of charge on March 15. This update includes great new features and improvements, including support for 4K XAVC-I recording, the ability to encode and write ProRes files to a single internal XQD card, and 4-channel audio recording capability.

Arri just announced the latest addition to the ALEXA family, the all new ALEXA Mini. Coming in at a svelte 7.3" x 4.9" x 5.5" (LxWxH) and weighing only 5 pounds, the Mini compliments the series with the same S35 ALEV III CMOS sensor found in the ALEXA and AMIRA. Utilizing a carbon body with titanium lens mount attached directly to the titanium sensor mount, the Mini shares the same PL, EF and B4 bayonet lens mounts, as well as the same MVF-1 viewfinder as the AMIRA.
