I was a little surprised this article hadn't been posted sooner (unless I missed it). I've been watching the Ferguson coverage from Buffalo while covering the snow aftermath. Hard not to think about the great job by crews in Ferguson under exceptionally difficult circumstances. I couldn't help...

http://www.komonews.com/news/local/News-helicopter-crashes-burns-beside-Space-Needle-250790281.html Initial reports suggest the chopper just departed from the station's helipad in downtown Seattle, had some sort of tail rotor issue and started spinning before crashing into the street below...

We've been toying around with different live-via-cellular technologies for a while but our shop just bought a bunch of Streambox Avenir Mini's. This is the cameraback version of the Streambox Avenir backpack. I'm familiar with the technology and some of the challenges with cell networks... but...

I saw this on the KING5 photogs Facebook page and it caught my eye. From his Twitter pic it looks like Max was a really young guy. Here's his Vimeo page with some great stories... http://vimeo.com/user4280105/videos "It is with heartfelt condolences we share in mourning the passing of a fellow...

Wondering if anyone can suggest a wired headset for doing live hits? I already have a set of noise canceling cans for reporters in loud environments...but I want something better for myself to listen/talk to the control room. I'm almost looking for the aviation-type Bose headsets (minus the...

Can anyone suggest a highly compact (yet rugged) equipment cart? The more it folds up, the better. It would need to hold the standard ENG rig (lighting bag, tripod, camera, etc). Thx!

Anyone with an ENG setup in a Ford Escape? Looking to see pics of the gear storage and any kind of drawer/cage solution. Thanks!

I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a good strategy to shoot sunrise time lapses. On the weekend I made an attempt, and while I was somewhat happy with the result, my iris adjustments were too noticeable. I took over an hour worth of video and sped it up to 18 seconds. I shot it all on...

I recently got a GoPro Hero HD camera and it seems that more and more shooters are getting them to have on hand for certain situations. Just looking for some suggestions on stories/shots where you use your GoPro in place of a traditional camera. It looks like a great tool that could be used for...

Any shops using the PMW-350K for ENG stuff? Our station is looking at them closely as a replacement to our aging DSR-570s. The stock lens on the 350K is junk, but from what I've heard, we'll be using other lenses.

As I type this, I'm watching an interview with a guy on CNN who is at a marina talking about the BP mess. The guy is totally covered in bugs who are also flying around his head constantly. Begs the question... how do you avoid this type of thing during an extended live hit?

I've got both the tungsten and HMI head for my Ultralight. I've noticed that particularly with the (heavier) HMI, if I tilt it upward slightly, it will tilt back down pretty quickly...kind of annoying. It seems the tilt mechanism isn't strong enough. Any suggestions? As well, does anyone use a...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIeqf8JNKow Have a look at this -- a 9 minute piece produced, shot, and edited by Muhammad Lila from CBC News in Toronto. It focuses on Tony Smyth, CBC's overnight camera and covering news at night.

Strange question indeed, but.... Does anyone have experience with Pelican cases that have extremely tight clamps? I got a Pelican 1150 last week for my Anton Bauer HMI and it takes two hands to open or close the clamps. Any ideas? Thanks!
