Putting the Helmet Monitor through its paces. Thankfully the cw3 is really light; I enjoy having a not-snapped neck.

Helmet cam is getting its white gloves debut. Nothing like a 6k getting piped down to 4" of 1080p 3 inches from your face.

Helmet-monitor is ready. Dizzy time awaits.

Psyched to have another member of the fam back.

Ladies and gentlemen: we're idiots. Reverse helmet cam, care of an cw-3, an and a non-returnable skate lid. Time to get RIPPED—only in my neck, tho.

Color me Impressed: The Ikonoskop A-Cam dII

Why would anyone shoot 1080p? Because the Ikonoskop A-Cam's color reproduction is some of the best we've seen.

Color me Impressed: The Ikonoskop A-Cam dII With the proliferation of 4K, 6K, and now 8K, who would shoot with a camera that has a s16-sized sensor and an imaging resolution of 1080p? The Ikonoskop is by no means in competition with the cameras now shooting higher resolutions on larger sensors. Instead, the camera's strengths lie within the…

Options, options, options. Our Ikonoskop's s16-sized sensor pairs nicely with our Cinema Products and Illumina primes.

The DJI Ronin: 3 Axes and 16+ Pounds of Camera

Last week we maxed-out our Ronin's weight limit with a RED Digital Cinema Epic and Angenieux Lenses Optimo DP in order to really test its capabilities. The Ronin worked wonderfully, but our arms are still feeling it this week...

The DJI Ronin: 3 Axes and 16+ Pounds of Camera The end-all-be-all of steady camera movement? Maybe. Here at 16 BY 40 we recently got our hands on the DJI Ronin and wanted to quickly familiarize ourselves with the system and how it handled each of our cameras. Initially we began with our heaviest and most daunting combination: the RED Epic wi…

What Are Plasma Lights and When Are They Better than HMIs? Hive Lighting Explains

Flicker free, full spectrum color, and far from power hungry: plasma lights have a lot to offer filmmakers today.

What Are Plasma Lights and When Are They Better than HMIs? Hive Lighting Explains Hive Lighting's 275w Wasp Plasma PAR bulb is the equivalent output of a 575w HMI. They can now be arranged into pods via frames, coming in 2-light, 4-light and 6-light configurations, creating a powerful light that can plug into a standard 20 amp circuit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRXEnnwLYVk

Waaay too nice of a day to not shoot ; Feels like I'm taking the out for a walk.

They Said it Couldn't be Done: An Angenieux Optimo DP on a Canon C300

We worked with our Canon C300 so that you can put our Angenieux Lenses Optimo DPs on it for a crystal-clear image from 16-42 or 30-80!

They Said it Couldn't be Done: An Angenieux Optimo DP on a Canon C300 Natively, a Canon C300 will not play nice with the Angenieux Optimo DP Rouge zoom lenses, but with a bit of sanding and a replacement part the two become a match made in heaven. Because of the length of the Angenieux's back element it will not properly sit in the Canon C300 PL mount, but with a litt…

Lomokino: 6 Seconds of Great and Weird, 20 Minutes of Expensive Agony

New post up on the blog!

Lomokino: 6 Seconds of Great and Weird, 20 Minutes of Expensive Agony Yesterday, B&H advertised a 35mm movie camera for the price of $39.95 (Now back to $99.95). It accepted standard 35mm still film and with each roll you could shoot 6 seconds of footage. Naturally, no one would use this camera to shoot a movie, but if you did how much would it cost?
