The V8000HDMI also showed up in a review of the Redrock Micro Bundle for the 5D Mark II featured on Creative Cow. Check out our monitor being put to work by Rodney Charters ASC/CSC and Bill Bennett ASC on the set of a major network television series.

New Products

The PT3000 has arrived and is now shipping. This new thru the glass teleprompter is perfect for the studio, but can still be used on location. A rugged design, 15-inch VGA monitor and a large sunhood make this the perfect fit for your next shoot.

ikan and the DSLR Revolution

The V5600 continues to make waves in the production community as DSLR and video shooters alike respond to this lightweight, high resolution monitor. The 5.6-inch HDMI and YUV monitor is becoming a popular choice for handheld shooting, especially when combined with a full rig from Zacuto or Redrock Micro.
