Nikon just announced the Nikon Zf, a full-frame retro camera. This is not a surprise considering that the crop-sensor Nikon Zfc has been here for a while. At first glance, this is an impressive camera, even if you throw away the stylish look. (And it is stylish!): 24.5MP, full-frame, BSI CMOS Sensor; Fast AF; 4K/60p 10bit video; and, yes, six optional colors.

Sony’s new Monitor & Control app turns your phone into a monitor
Sony is blasting it big today, and along with their Burano Compact CineAlto, they also released a new control app. But it’s not only for the Burano; this app is also for the Sony FX3 and Sony FX30. Its best feature: it turns your “I already have one” phone into a high-end on-camera monitor.
The app is creatively named “Monitor & Control”, but don’t let the unimaginative name fool you. This app packs a punch.
The Smoke Genie is my secret weapon for small sets
Today, we are going to create two amazing scenes in a super small space, and almost zero budget, but we have a secret weapon, the Smoke Genie. The Smoke Genie is a portable smoke machine for small sets. This video uses the Genie (buy here), but PMI also recently announced the Smoke Ninja, which has similar features but for a smaller budget.
Why Has The Falling Man – One Of The Strongest Photographs in History Disappeared [strong graphics]
Some dates are defining dates, and everyone remembers where they were. One such date is 9/11. If I asked you where you were on that day, you’d probably remember. One of the photographs most associated with that day is The Falling Man. Interestingly, despite the strength of the photo, it almost disappeared from the news shortly after it was published. Here is some context about the photo:
The Falling Man is a photograph taken by Associated Press photographer Richard Drew. It shows a man falling from the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 9:41:15 am during the September 11 attacks in New York City. The subject of the image, whose identity remains uncertain, was one of the people trapped on the upper floors of the skyscraper who either fell searching for safety or jumped to escape the fire and smoke.
How Davinci Resolve went from $250,000 to $295
DaVinci Resolve history time: Resolve has known an incredible pricing roller coaster since it first came out in the ’80. Software has changed the game for editors in ways that are hard to imagine today. To fully understand how much has changed, you’d probably wanna take a tour that also explains why “DaVinci” is still being used as a prefix for Resolve. Here’s a brief history lesson from industry veteran Marc Wielage.
The Smoke NINJA is a budget-friendly, portable smoke machine
Smoke machines are a great way to add a cinematic atmosphere to your set. On the other hand, smoke machines are typically big and cumbersome and require on-set handling. And this is precisely the issue that the Smoke NINJA (on Kickstarter soon) from PMI is trying to solve.
If you’ve been around, you are probably familiar with the Smoke Genie (also from PMI). This is a phone-sized portable smoke machine packed with features, and it costs accordingly – $595. Now, PMI is creating an entry-level model with a similar set of features, with a price to match.
Anamorphic tele on a budget, the SIRUI Venus 150mm T2.9 1.6x
If you are on the lookout for a budget anamorphic lens, you should definitely check out the SIRUI Venus 150mm T2.9 1.6x. Ok, ok, this is an incredibly long name; how about we call it the SIRUI 150mm x1.6 anamorphic from now on?
As the name suggests, this is an x1.6 anamorphic lens that SIRUI has recently started selling, and after playing with this lens for a bit, I am pretty impressed with what it can do, especially for the low price tag.
SIRUI Nightwalker – a perfect s35 cine lens set for beginners
Sirui just announced a new set of crop cine lenses on Indiegogo called SIRUI Nightwalker. The lenses start at $309 a lens, and for that price, I think that this is the best set you can find in the market right now. I have been testing this set of three lenses for a few weeks now, and I have to say, I’m impressed that SIRUI managed to cram a complete set of T1.2 for less than $1,000. If you are just starting out, this would be a fantastic set for you.
Powering video lights with power banks – a tutorial
With video LED lights getting more efficient and power banks getting stronger, it is now possible to run a complete set of lights using nothing but power banks. This is huge because it saves a lot of money and a lot of space. There are a few things you need to pay attention to, but in the end, you can carry a full set of lights and the power they need in a small backpack.
LARK Max review: it will make your life easier!
If you are using a small microphone for interviews or even solo recording, you have quite a bit of options today. But Hollyland just released their LARK Max (buy here), and I think it’s a piece of gear worth talking about because it brings quite a bit to the table.
