The Ninja Assassin is the latest addition to the Atomos line of monitors/recorders. The Ninja Assassin is a 4K ProRes recorder with many of the same features as its big brother the Shogun, but with HDMI input and output only, no SDI.

The Sony PMW-FS7, with its easily convertible lens mount and multiple recording formats, is now being used in all levels of production. There are also a lot of accessories for the camera - but which ones make the most sense for you? In this blog, I show how I like to build the camera for handheld operation and on sticks.

At NAB 2015, I showed off the innovative Exhauss Exoskeleton support system at our booth. After spending more time with it, I decided to take a more in-depth look and answer some of the questions that I've been getting about the rig.

Here on our AbelCine blog we feature a variety of equipment for rigging our cameras. However, as our technical specialists come from diverse backgrounds, we all have our own preferences on what accessories improve and complement different cameras. In the video above, I show off some of the accessories that make up my favorite C100 Mark II rig.

At the recent LA stop of the VII Evolution Tour, the topic of video compression was brought up in relation to using an external capture device instead of recording internally to the camera.

Using Pomfort's LiveGrade you can remotely color grade the VariCam 35. In my previous post, I explained how to set up the camera in preparation for the next step - working with the LiveGrade software. The software connects to the camera over a wired or wireless network and can work in a couple of different ways.

One of the great features of the Panasonic VariCam 35 is its built in color management. The camera can record in VariCam Log while applying look up tables (LUTs) to all outputs, including the viewfinder.

The Sekonic SpectroMaster C-700 color temperature meter provides data to determine a light's color temperature and compare it to other lighting instruments.

There are currently many new cameras hitting the market, often with new lens mount types. It comes as no surprise that everyone is trying to determine the best lenses for their new camera system, while others are trying to utilize lenses they already own with a new camera. We all know that lenses often outlive our cameras, so it only makes sense to get the most out of them.
