Control Carnival Ride Game

This harness is a game changer. I did last week a 9km ride carrying my Sony telephoto TC1.4 Sony A1 without any shoulder pain. I'm 65 and now I can enjoy continue shooting!

Planning to use this in a bingo tent at a carnival. Seems like it has plenty of sound for that. It looks like it cost more than it actually did, so that's a plus!

The ride videomicro does it’s job really well and it’s beyond my expectation.

goes together really quickly, smooth ride. A little heavy but so well made!

It is an awesome film for night shots, for some metro station experience or to capture the local carnival with flashy lights. But you should know upfront that whatever you capture, you have to shoot at least once a gas station. It is mandatory, it even comes on the box. If you don't do it, you won't have used at its 100% this film. And cinestill makers might get mad at you.

I first worked with Metz flashes in 1997 when I started working for Carnival Cruise Lines' Photo Department. The CT-4 and CT-5 were both very impressive flashes, however the 76 MZ-5 was the most impressive flash I have ever worked with. Our 21 ships were retrofitted with them back in 2006 and it is now the flash of my dreams! Consistant output, Ease of use, Fast and rugged. They stand up to abuse and remain reliable. The 400 Photographers in the Carnival Cruise Line Fleet, use them every day in one of the fastest paced environments ever!

I purchased the Optech Rainsleeve for a shoot during Carnival in Ecuador. It's a tradition there to throw water and spray foam at passersby during the holiday--especially gringos flashing a D40x/18-200 VR/SB-600. The Optech rainsleeve was a cheap and easy way to keep the festivities in the lens and my machine out of the shop. There's a built-in hole to fit around the eyepiece and the open-end was sufficient for my hand(s). You have to dismount the lens, insert it into the sleeve separate from the body, and reassemble the unit once it's in. Not a big deal, but you have to plan ahead. The drawstrings around the lens keep the glass exposed, and limit your ability to fine-tune if manual focus is what you seek, but otherwise shooting, even at great distances, is uninhibited. For the record, the Optech Rainsleeve is NOT waterproof (nor does it claim to be). However, it's a great, cheap way, to keep basic-to-intense grime, grit, sand, and the occasional celebratory water balloon out of your shoot. A lack of holes for my strap left me wanting, but other than that, the ergonomics/fit was solid. Today, I write this having returned to the Northern Hemisphere with a clean camera thanks to Otech sleeves.

The EV did not disappoint on its first use at the London Notting Hill Carnival launch. I was commissioned to produce three short clips for webcast and a 40 minute film of the event. The EV was used for interviewing VIPs and distinguished guests. Linked to a Shure FP33 audio capture was pristine despite my 15 year old son at the controls. No echo or handling noise inside and certainly no wind noise outside. I didn't even use a windshield! The presenter I used kept waving the mic around initially due to nervousness (or did she lie to me about not being camera shy)? Not a single pop. There were no reflections in the video footage due to the matt black finish which gave it a quality look too. First impressions - excellent sound capture with quality you can feel. I look forward to the journalistic and documentary use I purchased it for.

After videotaping fireworks for winter carnival I left the plate attached to my camera after packing the tripod away.On the walk back to the truck it fell off.I purchased 2 of these so I had a spare and I must say they came quickly and fit perfect. Great replacement to the original.

I have been using Elgato products since the Game Capture HD with a 2009 iMac. I used to light up my elgato green screen with a cheap USB powered LED work light set on the floor. It managed for the most part, but far from an ideal solution. The jump to the Key Light was like night and day, literally. Having full control over colour temperature and brightness made my lighting look instantly professional. Being able to control every option via the iOS app over WiFi meant the Key Light became the main source of lighting in my tiny apartment, and still is.
