Gearing Up Part 3 | Monitors & Tripods

Posted on Aug 13, 2010 in Accessories, Featured, Gear, Manfrotto, Marshall | 0 comments

Here is another update to what will likely be an unending series documenting my initial costs in starting to shoot video (part 1 and part 2).  After talking with Thomas Broening, who also recently started shooting video, I discovered I’d need a floating tripod head since my stills head won’t be of much use to me when shooting video.

I’ve also been looking into external monitors and decided to get the Marshall V-LCD70XP-HDMI after talking to Thomas and reading forums and blogs.  The features that I liked on on the Marshall were the peaking filter to aid focusing and the onscreen crop markers.  I’ll do a proper review of the monitor once I get it and have a chance to play with it.
