Thanks to my guide on DSLR cinematography I have the opportunity to get my hands on some filmmaking equipment for review purposes. This is also possible because I'm moving into an apartment July 1, which will be the first time in nine months that I'll have steady access to my 5D (not to mention a physical address to receive things in the mail). In light of this, I started wondering, "what gear would people like to see reviewed?" And then I realized I should just ask you! So please leave a comment with any gear you're wondering about. This could be a category of tools (e.g., tripods, viewfinders, steadicams) or a specific item (e.g., Zacuto Z-Finder, Genus Matte Box, Shoot35 Follow Focus). Let me know and I'll do my best to get ahold of it and let you know if it's worth your hard-earned dollars!
