John Aldred

It’s become pretty clear by now that Elinchrom really like testing the limits of their gear. They’ve put them on drones, battled oceans, and lit up ice tunnels. So, for the launch of the new Elinchrom ELB 1200 pack, they had to go pretty crazy. And crazy is exactly where they went, strapping the new […]

Sony’s new SD card is the world’s fastest with transfer speeds of 300MB/sec

John Aldred

I can still remember the days when a 16X CompactFlash card was considered quite fast at a nippy 2.4MB/sec. It was a good time. Dinosaurs roamed the earth, and we daren’t even think about shooting our DSLRs higher than ISO400. My how times have changed. Of course, they’ve needed to. With the increase in 4K video use, […]

Godox launches new 200Ws hotshoe strobe thingy without a hotshoe

John Aldred

I’ve become a big fan of Godox (Pixapro, Flashpoint, etc) over the last couple of years. They sprang out of nowhere, and in no time at all built up a solid following. They are the first company to offer a complete self contained solution that covers everything from speedlights to studio strobes. But their latest […]

This modular motion control slider fits in your backpack and can be reconfigured 30 different ways

John Aldred

Sliders and motion control go together like bangers and mash. Or perhaps peanut butter & jelly for my American friends. Unless you just want a super quick grab shot, motion control makes work with a slider go so much more smoothly (pun intended).

I usually go with regular NDs for long exposures and timelapse, but having recently picked up a variable ND for video, I have found myself using […]
