Recently, I had a chance to take a first look at the brand new Litepanels Gemini 1x1 Soft. Now in the 1x1 form factor, this light's design is based on its Gemini 2x1 predecessor. In this video, I take a look at the features of this new light, including the easy to use menu, and show you a few applications.

Aputure has recently updated their hugely popular 120d COB (chip on board) lighting fixture to the 120d II.

The Sony VENICE has been out for a while now and has quickly become a popular camera for feature films, television series, and a wide range of other applications. The VENICE produces great looking images, as it should, and it also offers a very good post workflow.

The VENICE builds on this even more and does a great job of keeping things simple.

In this video, I go over the full lineup of DSMC2 cameras from RED: MONSTRO 8K, HELIUM 8K, GEMINI 5K, and DRAGON 5K.

DSMC2, the latest generation of RED’s camera BRAIN, is not only powerful, but the entire system is extremely versatile. These bodies can house four different sensors: MONSTRO 8K VV, HELIUM 8K, and GEMINI 5K S35, and the new 5K DRAGON-X. A wide range of modules and accessories expand the possibilities even further. We asked three of our Technical Specialists to describe their ideal RED DSMC2 package. Nic couldn't stop at just one kit, however. So, here's a look at what’s in his "Adrenaline" RED kit.

Westcott have not only updated their Flex LED mats but also their entire Flex Cine lighting system. This includes bi-color and RGBW solutions along with a new universal, wireless DMX dimmer controller and a huge variety of lighting control options.
