At NAB 2015 I reported on Sennheiser's AVX system, which includes a lavalier mic, transmitter and receiver. What makes this system unique is the fact that it is able to set its own levels.

Just as we have done for other cameras in the past, we've put together several custom profiles for the C100 Mark II. Because Canon has updated the image processing in the C100 Mark II, the settings needed to match our original scene files on the C100 Mark II are a little different than the ones for the original C100.

At this year's NAB show, we were lucky enough to grab a few moments at the Canon booth to take a first look at the new C300 Mark II. Now that we've gotten to spend more time with it, I wanted to do an in-depth tour of the camera, both inside and out.

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.

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.

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.

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.

NAB is upon us, and while we are already seeing lots of new announcements, the show itself will be filled with even more surprises. We often get asked what to expect from the show and what you should check out.
