I'm hoping the guy didn't trade a banner placement in lieu of payment.

Anyone know of a good place that works on Sachtler heads? My tilt does not secure ( it doesn't lock) as it should. Thanks.

This freelance world we live in is cruel! In early June, I take my family on vacation. Summer starts off fairly slow, I think I worked one day the week prior to our vacation. The first day of vacation, I get a call for a two day HD shoot - "sorry, I'm not available". The next day I get a...

I need to get a few custom sized component cables for an F900. Anyone know where to get them?
