The School Picture Challenge

Posted by Miguel Grinberg under Photography.

This year I had a very disappointing round of school pictures of my kids, and it isn't the first time. Being both my wife and I into photography a bit, every year we debate whether we should free ourselves from the ritual of buying severely overpriced and not so great portraits of the little ones, but in the end we always give in and do it.

Well, I think this time I had enough.

Balancing the Rhino Steady Camera Stabilizer, Case Study: Smartphone

Posted by Miguel Grinberg under Filmmaking.

This is the sixth article in my series about the Rhino Steady, a camera stabilizer made by Rhino Camera Gear.

In the first article of the series I described in detail how the Rhino Steady and other similar stabilizers work. In the articles that followed I have shown how I balance a variety of cameras, a medium size DSLR, a lightweight DSLR, a lightweight camcorder, and a point & shoot.

Balancing the Rhino Steady Camera Stabilizer, Case Study: Point & Shoot

Posted by Miguel Grinberg under Filmmaking.

This is the fifth article in my series about the Rhino Steady, a camera stabilizer made by Rhino Camera Gear.

In the first article of the series I described in detail how the Rhino Steady and other similar stabilizers work. In the articles that followed I have shown how I balance a variety of cameras, a medium size DSLR, a lightweight DSLR and a lightweight camcorder. Today I'm showing how I balance a Canon PowerShot SX230 HS point & shoot camera, which in terms of weight is lighter than any other cameras I have done so far.
