Well technically I didn’t “DIY” this but I did have the idea. 😉 I shoot lots of video with my Sony A6500 and I have a cage for it that allows me to add numerous items to help me get better audio, stabilize my shot and compose my image using […]
Just a quick post to show the “rig” I put together for my daughter that wanted to use my GoPro for some Selfie stuff and time-lapse. She needed to be able to see herself using her iPhone and the GoPro app plus some extra juice to power the GoPro past […]
Ever since I’ve been filming with my Sony AK series, I always get this annoying rattling from the metal camera clips that are attached to the camera. These help you keep straps on the camera but when you take the camera strap off – they rattle and the onboard microphone […]
So I’ve been figuring out how to make a smaller video rig for my Sony A6000. I had a much larger one but thought a smaller one with most of the same attachments would work better. Here is the bigger one. I attached a follow focus but the rubber bracelet […]

My girl Emmy wants to record her friend singing to a song while importing into Garageband. She ask if I had a mic. “She wounds me…” So after gathering the mic I told her we should build a Voice Recording Booth to get the best sound. So we did some […]
Finally got around to replacing my GoPro lens on my Hero3+. If you don’t remember, I managed to scratch it while using it to film from a RC car. See post here. I tried to buff out the scratch using some very ultra fine sandpaper (3000 grit), followed by some […]

My good buddy John let me borrow his really nice RC car. I’ve always wanted to mount my GoPro on it. Not a new thing but I’ve never done it. So during Spring Break 2016, I thought I’d try. I have a whole long list of shots I wanted to try […]
