Teradek LogoJuly 22, 2010 – About a month ago I posted about an new camera-top HD video encoder that will stream HD content over a Wi-Fi network, called the Cube. Teradek, manufactures of the Cube, is offering a great opportunity for you to get in early and become a beta tester. There are a limited number of positions available so you’ll need to act fast.

Teradek is looking for enthusiastic and experienced HD video users who are interested in participating in the development of this exciting new technology. Beta testers are an important part of the development process, and your input will have a direct influence on the final product. You will receive your Cube at a deeply discounted price to compensate for your efforts (discounted pricing only applies to preproduction units).

Here’s a link to Teradek’s, Cube Testing Program. Let me know if you get in on the program and what you think of the product.

Jaybilizer HDSLR Stabilizer Rig

JAYBILIZER Logo

JAYBILIZER HDSLR RigJune 4, 2010 – PRESS SUMMARY – The Jaybilizer HDSLR is an affordable Stedicam Merlin-type camera stabilizer that is optimized for shooting with the new generation of digital SLR cameras that shoot high definition video.

The new generation of HDSLR cameras, like the Canon 5D Mk2 produce stunning video quality with a film-like narrow depth of field and ultra low light capabilities. The downside is that these cameras are designed for shooting still photos and are unwieldy for shooting video. The Jaybilizer HDSLR solves this problem and allows photographers and cinematographers to do smooth Steadicam-like “flying” shots. The Jaybilizer HDSLR is ideal for wedding and event photographers who are branching out into video and want to achieve the cinematic look.

Rugged and Affordable

The Jaybilizer HDSLR is constructed of high quality steel and 6061 aluminum, and features a heavy duty steel ball gimbal. The 8″ aluminum counterweight bar also acts as a tripod for easily setting down and storing the Jaybilizer. The best part is that the Jaybilizer HDSLR is an affordable alternative to other expensive stabilizers, costing only a quarter as much as the Steadicam Merlin.
