As you all know I have been trying to settle upon the best way to mount my nanoFLASH on my Sony PMW-EX3 / Protech ST-7 Shoulder mount rig since I got it! To be more precise I really wanted to mount the nanoFLASH on the back of my IDX Endura 10 Batteries. I know that Convergent Design was working on such a mount but ran into problems when they realised that the V Mount on the front of the Endura batteries isn’t quite standard. After spending a lot of time researching I finally found a solution in the name of the IDX A-MWR Wireless Receiver Mounting Bracket which I wrote about on the 25th January 2010 in a post entitled ‘Mounting a nanoFLASH on V Mount Batteries’. Well I finally got my hands on one yesterday and got around to setting it up today! Continue reading My ultimate nanoFLASH Set-Up
There is no doubt that Sony’s XDCAM EX Solid State Media is going from strength to strength. In the earlier days of the format you could only purchase Sony SxS Pro Memory Cards in 8GB or 16GB sizes and with the introduction of the PMW-EX3 the Sony PHU-60K 60GB HDD Recorder but now the choice is huge and rapidly growing!

Since I purchased the Protech ST-7 I have been having a growing need to purchase more Sony VCT-14 Tripod Plates which retail at a staggering £300.00 each. Expensive but beautiful! Since I didn’t want to pay quite that much I opted to order the slightly cheaper Sony VCT-U14 Tripod which retails at £250.00 each. Continue reading A cheap alternative to the Sony VCT-14

I have been in search of a good shoulder mount for my Sony PMW-EX3 ever since I got the camera way back in September 2008. Anybody who has used the Sony PMW-EX3 knows just how front heavy it is adding to the awkwardness of the ergonomics on this semi-shoulder-mounted camera thus making it hard work to use. The Sony PMW-EX1 is even worse while the Sony HVR-Z5E and HVR-Z7E aren’t much better. Continue reading Protech ST-7 Shoulder Mount for the Sony PMW-EX3

I was over at Alister Chapman’s Blog aka XDCAM-USER.com today and came across his latest post entitled ‘Alister’s XDCAM Product of the Year 2009’. For Alister it was a toss between; the Sony PMW-EX1r, the nanoFLASH and the NextoDI NVS2500. I have to agree that these are three formidable products to be in the running. The last two are in the final for me, even though I don’t yet own the NextoDI NVS2500. It is on my wish list though! Continue reading The Product of the Year
Even after a year after the release of the Sony PMW-EX3, I am still inundated with emails asking if I use my array of Nikon Lenses with my PMW-EX3. So I am republishing an article I wrote for my old blog ‘Paul Inglis Media Web Journal’ which was aptly entitled ‘Putting a Nikon Super Telephoto Lens on a Sony PMW-EX3’ (Originally published on the 10th January 2009 at 18:57). A few things have changed since the original article so I have refreshed it in order to bring it up to date. Continue reading Putting a Nikon Super Telephoto Lens on a Sony PMW-EX3
