Following our previous blog post introducing the new Canon EOS R full format mirrorless still and video camera, I dive a little deeper into some of the video-centric aspects of the camera.

In small-to-no-crew, corporate and documentary work having the ability to record multiple audio sources to a single camera is a must. A common frustration, however, when using wireless solutions is that most of them are single channel transmitter and receiver based systems.

ARRI's cforce mini RF Motor made big news when it was introduced at NAB this year, since it can be wirelessly controlled by the ARRI WCU-4 and SXU without requiring a separate motor controller. But when we got the motor in and I had a chance to play with it, I realized it could do so much more.

It is now common for digital cinema cameras to record a RAW file as well as a proxy. Proxy recordings can be loaded to a laptop and then into NLE programs, which is a quick and easy way for production to check on composition and performance. Additionally, proxies can be used to select takes and string out an edit. This streamlines the post process as only selected takes are color corrected.

The Hornet 200-C produces a tremendous amount of light in a compact and flexible instrument. The 200-C pulls 150W of power and produces the equivalent of 650-1000W incandescent lamp. The unique seven-color LED chip permits the lamp to be adjusted to a custom color or to match existing lights, and has the widest gamut of any Hive light.

Over the last couple of years some of the most exciting innovations in cinema technology have been in lighting. LED technology has vastly improved, allowing for the evolution of full RGB light fixtures with a wide variety of features. We often joke that cameras today are like little computers, and now this is also true for lights.

The Matthews Infinity Arm is a modular articulating arm that goes well beyond the ability to fly a monitor off of a camera system or cheese plate. It is an entire grip system that can be used in many applications when rigging camera, lighting and audio equipment.

Our lens and accessory guide for the Panasonic AU-EVA1 Camera breaks down some of the essential gear that provides added functionality and support for this already impressive camera.

In this video, we’ll explore a brief history of the Anton Bauer on-camera battery line. Now that Anton Bauer has released the new Dionic XT series, it’s a great time to look a bit back into the past to see the significance of all the improved features on these new batteries.
