The new MFC-2S follow focus from Vocas incorporates some ingenious capabilities while maintaining the signature Vocas design aesthetic.

Sony's CBKZ-55FX upgrade license enables the PMW-F5 to record and playback 4K, effectively doubling the camera's resolution. It also adds 4K quad-SDI and HDMI output, as well as simultaneous recording of XAVC at 4K and MPEG 50Mbps 422 in HD.

The MōVI has had a huge impact on our industry. As a result, there is a lot of interest in how to build it to fit various production demands. In this video, I will take you through building a Canon C300 on an M10 and highlight some accessories and power solutions.

You've selected a lens family, but choosing which focal length to use for each shot is an art in itself. A few things to consider when choosing your focal length are: proximity of the camera to the subject, whether the camera is a character in the story or purely observational, and whether you'll be using the lens to control the subject's perspective and their relationship to the background.

Sony's enormously flexible PXW-FS7 has been shipping for about eight months now and is very well received at many different levels of the market. With its two shooting modes -- Custom and CINE-EI -- this camera is well suited to a wide variety of productions and applications.

The ALEXA Mini has generated lots of excitement partly due to the form factor, which lends itself to many types of cinematography. The other day I had the opportunity to meet up with Snehal Patel at Arri in Burbank, California. Together we went over a variety of builds for the ALEXA Mini.

The Atomos Shogun has become a top choice for off-camera monitoring and recording. Its lightweight and feature-rich design make it ideal for acquisition from HD up to 4K.

At AbelCine, we often use the term "stills to motion" to describe a still photographer making the transition to cinematography. We've held various events and tours based on this concept, and we've fielded recurring questions around shooting simultaneous stills and video. Many of the shooters we speak to would prefer to focus on either stills or motion, but are often asked by their clients to provide both.

As you might know, we offer a variety of workshops on DIT & Engineering topics, and we are often asked about what you might find on a DIT cart. Speaking with many DITs and building on my own experience, I put together a souped-up cart for demonstration purposes and created this video series on the Anatomy of the DIT Cart. On the cart you'll find a variety of hardware used on set today, including scopes, routers, monitors, and storage.
