Back in April, in my post Zacuto Stuff, I looked at mating a Zacuto Gorilla Plate or DSLR Baseplate with Really Right Stuff rails and clamps to create a quick release system that would allow you to move from platform to platform without having to reconfigure your DSLR.

That setup worked well but [...]

By Jon Roemer On 18 Oct ’11 · 1 Comment

Canon, never one to shy away from confusing product names, has announced their latest flagship camera – the *1D X. The web is already becoming inundated with information.

CPN Europe has a lot of information including a 12-page technical paper.

Canon Japan has a short film made with the [...]

We Can Be Hipstas Just For One Day

By Jon Roemer On 2 Jun ’11 · 3 Comments

I am probably the anti-hip. Not to say that I’m square, I hope I’m not, but I wouldn’t claim to know all the current trends, what’s in fashion, what’s not, or to be searching that out for my look. That said I’ve been playing with the Hipstamatic app on my iPhone for a [...]

Grumman’ing

By Jon Roemer On 27 Apr ’11 · Leave a Comment

Earlier in the month I posted, Shrubbery, about a trip to photograph a former Grumman factory mid-way out on Long Island. The images are to document the complex for a real estate capital intermediary company (I leave that to others to parse.) As mentioned in Shrubbery, it’s an interesting group of [...]

Zacuto Stuff

By Jon Roemer On 7 Apr ’11 · Leave a Comment

In my April Fools post I wrote that Zacuto USA was buying Really Right Stuff, becoming a new company called Zacuto Stuff. That, of course, is not true but for many making the transition from shooting stills to shooting HDSLR video it is a goal of sorts. Not to [...]

Canon 1Ds Mark III Now Shoots Video

Stumptown Joyride

By Jon Roemer On 24 Feb ’11 · Leave a Comment

Gourmet food trucks are all rage in New York City and this past December Middlebury Magazine asked me to pay a visit to recent graduate David Belanich. David and his partners founded Joyride Trucks, rehabbing a former FedEx delivery van to bring frozen yogurt and Stumptown coffee to the streets of [...]

The AcuteB Head to Acute2 Pack Defusenik

By Jon Roemer On 19 Jan ’11 · Leave a Comment

This happened on a shoot late last year, thought I’d pass it along. There are probably others like me who own both Profoto AcuteB and Acute2 packs and heads. Great kits, you can use all of the same modifiers, but despite having the same cable-to-pack connectors you cannot interchange the heads.

The AcuteB [...]
