The makers of the awesome PluralEyes software have just released a new standalone application called DualEyes. The new DualEyes software offers the same automated-syncing results that you get from PluralEyes, but because it is a standalone application, you can use it with just about any video editing application, including Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer or Sony Vegas.
DualEyes retails for $149, but is up for grabs at a 20% discount (for $119) through October 30. You can download a free 30-day trial of DualEyes here.

Zacuto has announced an EVF for use with HDSLRs via the HDMI port. This product looks to be very similar to Redrock Micro’s microEVF from a couple of days ago.
The product is currently in the prototype stages, but it will feature a 800×480 resolution screen magnified by a traditional Z-Finder and powered by a Canon LP-E6 battery for half-day power. The estimated price is currently $775, which is nearly $200 more than the similarly spec’d Redrock Micro microEVF. The Z-Finder EVF should be available in February/March 2011.

Redrock Micro just announced a new microEVF that is a true EVF for HDSLR cameras with a HDMI output. The microEVF can attached directly to the camera with a outboard hotshoe mount, or it can be mounted elsewhere on your HDSLR rig. The price is expected to be $595 when it becomes available.

The Manfrotto 700RC2 is a basic, fluid head head for use with video cameras up to 5.5 pounds. At around $90 street price, this is an entry-level head with little in the way of creature comforts.
The 700RC2 still gives you a quick release plate, and it has a pan arm rosette on the right side of the head for adjusting the angle of the solid pan arm included with the head. The 700RC2 also has separate pan and tilt friction locks.
With heavier HDSLR setups, smooth pans were more difficult to achieve, but stick to smaller camcorders with the 700RC2 and it will handle relatively smooth pans and tilts just fine. [click to continue…]

Oton Bačar’s video of the Canon 7D capturing video at 1000 fps is making its way around the video blogs this week. Of course, he didn’t really shoot at 1000 fps in-camera with the 7D.
Instead, he captured this impressive video in 720p at 50fps and then applied the super slo-mo effects with Twixtor in Adobe After Effects. Check out the video below. [click to continue…]
