Do you own a recent MacBook Pro? Cool machine but in terms of connectivity? Well, not so cool. If your Laptop happens to be on double duty as a portable device and a workstation you might want to add some sort of hub in order to retain control of all these cables and adapters. The Sonnet Echo 11 Thunderbolt 3 dock is such a device – and a very capable one, indeed.  The whole idea behind connecting a dock to your laptop is to get rid of all the cable clutter. All your peripherals including monitors, hard drives and ethernet are connected to that dock. Only a single cable runs to your laptop. For the times you’re out and about just unplug that single cable and off you go. Once you return, plug it in again and you’re all set. That’s exactly how the Sonnet Echo 11 dock is designed. And it sports all kinds of connectors: 4x USB3 ports, 1x USB3 charging port, 2x Thunderbolt 3 port, gigabit ethernet port, HDMI 2.0 port, combo audio jack and an SDHC card slot. Sonnet Echo 11 Thunderbolt 3 dock The cool thing is that one of the Thunderbolt3 connectors (which is labeled ‘computer’) provides up to 87W of power. The Echo 11 replaces your laptops power brick, so to say. Of course it needs its own dedicated power supply but you won’t need two of them, at least.  That way you need just that one single Thunderbolt 3 for connecting all kinds of devices to you laptop plus powering it. The Echo 11 can handle one 5K display or up to two 4K (3840 x 2160 or less) displays using one of the Thunderbolt 3 ports and the HDMI 2.0 port. There’s no Display Port built into the Echo 11 dock but in the aforementioned scenario the Thunderbolt 3 and HDMI ports take over in that matter. Since this device is only a dock, you have to check if your laptops GPU can handle one 5K display / two 4K displays, of course. Even if your laptop doesn’t sport Thunderbolt 3 (40GB/s) but Thunderbolt 2 (20GB/s) or 1 (10GB/s), you still can hook up the Echo 11 to these devices using a –you guessed it– adapter. This will limit the performance of the dock, obviously, but it still can be beneficial using one dedicated dock for your desk instead of multiple adapters which you need to hook up every time you come back. Since there are quite a few different docks available by now, the question is: Which dock should I choose? There’s no such thing as the perfect dock I guess. It depends on your needs and your desired work evironment. The Sonnet Echo 11 might be the perfect tool for building a workstation setup at home for use with your existing Thunderbolt3-enabled Laptop. But would you bring it if you’re out and about? Probably not. For that some bus-powered device such as the CalDigit Thunderbolt 3 mini docks are more suitable. Even if you find the perfect dock for your needs, things will evolve over time. Now readily available connectors will become obsolete especially if we’re talking about Apple laptops. Do you remember FireWire? Well, it’s dead. Since the USB type C connector is being used for both USB and Thunderbolt protocols we’re facing a de-facto standard here. Hopefully it stays that way for just a little longer. Pricing and Availability The expected availability for the Sonnet Echo 11 Thunderbolt 3 dock is end of August. Preorders are open and it will sell for $299. That’s not exactly cheap but since Sonnet has a long term reputation of making quality Thunderbolt equipment I’d say it might be worth the premium price tag. Other comparable products include the $299 CalDigit TS3+ dock and the OWC 12 port Thunderbolt 3 dock for $288.

Beta versions 7 and 8 were published in just under two weeks, so a final release of Resolve 15 was kind of imminent. today is the day, people: The final version of DaVinci Resolve 15 is here and it’s still free to download. If you want the full package you can purchase the Studio labeled version for $299. After the announcement of DaVinci Resolve 15 at NAB back in April the first public beta followed quickly after the show has concluded. Now, 4 months later, the final version of Resolve 15 hits your download folder. With the package comes a massive 2632 pages reference manual as a PDF. DaVinci Resolve 15 To get things straight right away: There’s no upgrade cost for previous Resolve 14 users. As a new user, you can either download the free version at no cost or purchase Resolve 15 for $299. If you happen to own a dongle for version 14, there’s no upgrade cost whatsoever. Here’s Peter Chamberlain, DaVinci Resolve product manager, on that matter: Everyone can download and use the free version. Customers with DaVinci Resolve Studio dongles and activation keys, and those with Fusion Studio dongles can download and use DaVinci Resolve Studio v15 at no cost. [posted on the Blackmagic Design Forum] Let’s move on to the features of Resolve 15. If you already played around a little with previous beta versions you know what’s coming: Fusion is now an integrated part of Resolve. The tabs (as in: workspaces) at the bottom of the screen now include: Media, Edit, Fusion, Color, Fairlight and Deliver. Watch the video below for a fairly extensive overview of the new features: The above video came out just after the announcement of Resolve 15 so there might be slight changes to some features but you get a pretty good idea of the deep integration of Fusion and Fairlight into Resolve. In contrast to Adobe whose approach is to develop a whole suite of dedicated apps, Blackmagic has put all the features of several acquisitions straight into their main software tool: DaVinci Resolve. When they acquired Resolve it was just a color correction and grading tool. After that a NLE style video editor was added with version 10 in 2013. Then came Fairlight, a full-fleged suite of audio tools for manipulating and mastering audio. Now, with version 15 their latest acquisition has been merged into Resolve: Fusion, which is an advanced node based compositing tool. Installation files for Resolve 15 plus a massive reference manual. If you’re a Adobe user you could compare Resolve to Premiere Pro (editing and grading), Audition (audio) and After Effects (compositing). These are very different applications, though. Adobe After Effects for example uses layers while Fusion is based around nodes. The good thing is this: Round-tripping has become a lot easier with both, Adobe and DaVinci Resolve. No more exporting, transcoding, importing, manipulating, exporting again. Adobe uses their so-called dynamic link technology  in order to link (and update in real time) assets from After Effects to Premiere Pro. In DaVinci Resolve all you have to do is hopping back and forth between the different workspaces and that’s it. All changes are being updated in all other workspaces as you go. Download Today Using a beta labeled program is not exactly what you want to do if you’re in the middle of a paid job. Since Resolve 15 is now out of beta it’s safe to download and check out, I would say. I’ve been working with Resolve 15 beta versions on a couple of smaller projects for the past months and I barely experienced a real bad crash except for the Fusion tab which should be stable by now. The Studio version has some advanced features unlocked such as noise reduction, some 3D tools, a list of motion effects or the support for multiple GPUs. Most of what I’m doing works great with the free version but since the full Studio version is only $299 you might want to consider buying this if you need these advanced features. A dongle for the studio version also comes bundled when purchasing one of Blackmagic cameras. Resolve 15 is available for Mac OSX, Windows and Linux. You can download it from Blackmagic Design’s website or though Apples MacStore. A word of warning, though: In order to work with the new version you need to upgrade your database. There’s no going back after that so you might want to backup your database before installing Resolve 15 for the first time.

LUTs are mainstream by now. Every halfway decent camera is capable of recording flat log profiles and therefore you have to employ a certain LUT workflow for your shooting / grading / monitoring. If that camera of yours happen to be a VariCam or EVA1, you’re in luck since Panasonic just has introduced their take on a LUT library, free of charge. All in all there are 35 Looks to choose from and Panasonic differentiates between technical LUTs (Log -> Rec.709 for example) and creative LUTs (“warm sun”). The whole LUT library can be used free of charge so you can download these LUTs and use them in your daily workflow as you please. Panasonic LUT Library The LUT library is tailored for the Panasonic VariCam line of cameras and the AU-EVA1 exclusively. So your precious GH5(s) with activated V-Log recording is not supported at this time, unfortunately. The total amount of 36 looks are made available in three different variants: Download them as .vlt files for applying a look in-camera, as E-E.cube files for post color grading or as E-L.cube files for using them with “LUT boxes” and other monitoring devices. I think that some of the looks in this LUT library are a little too much, but, and that’s probably the main purpose of this library, it’s nice to see a result very quickly instead of explaining a creative vision from a flat-looking LOG image on the screen. If I would ever use the provided green-tinted Matrix look? Probably not but maybe it could be starting point for something less, well, green. Since these LUTs are totally free of charge, I’d give it a try for sure! To convince a director of a certain look, it is much easier to take a LUT as a starting point and go from there. And even if you’re not seeking a specific creative look, a simple LOG -> Rec.709 conversion helps to soothe a clients nerves on set, rather than dull-looking LOG footage. Catching Up By creating this LUT library, Panasonic catches up wih ARRI, whose Look Library sports 87 different looks. But, in contrary to Panasonics free library, the ARRI looks require a license which might be included in your camera already –depending on the model and date of purchase– or can be purchased for 280€  (about $320). So there you have it, a free LUT library for your Panasonic VariCam or EVA1, complete with all kinds of different file formats for different applications. Pretty impressive to get this free of charge! Even if some looks might be a little over the top (at least for me), they certainly can act as starting point for further tweaking in post. Further Tweaking If you want to use these LUTs as a starting point, I can recommend LUTCalc to tweak them further. It’s a very handy tool which runs in the browser. Head over to cameramanben.github.io/LUTCalc in order to get started. Another tool of choice is DaVinci Resolve, obviously. It’s free of charge unless you want to use the advanced features of the Studio version, which is $299. Links: Panasonic | Arri | LUTCalc What do you think? Are these LUTs worth a closer look? What look are you after in your daily work? Let us know in the comments below!

Working on set means working independently from the power grid most of the time. So a bunch of different batteries for all of your gear is mandatory. Or you head over to Kickstarter and support the guys behind Blind Spot Gear in making their latest product a reality: The Power Junkie. A small device maybe, but a pretty clever one for sure. Basically the Power Junkie is a tiny battery mount for Sony L-Series batteries which come in three sizes: NP-F 550 (around 2600mAh), NP-F 770 (around 5200mAh) and NP-F 950 (around 7800mAh). Two USB 5V outlets and a barrel-type 7.2V outlet give you plenty of possibilities of powering several devices around your camera setup. Furthermore you can charge the attached Sony battery via USB C or micro USB. The whole thing mounts via a 1/4 20 thread or a cold shoe mount to your rig. You even can use a standard cable tie and mount it to about anywhere. Neat! Blind Spot Gear Power Junkie The Power Junkie is the third product Blind Spot Gear is bringing to Kickstarter. The first one was the so-called Tile Light, the second one was the Scorpion Light. Both campaigns were pretty successful so it’s safe to say that we’re talking about a reliable company here. We also have gotten to know the guys behind the product and have no doubts that they will deliver. Actually it’s a little strange that nobody came up with this idea before, like Nino says in the review. The Power Junkie is a really basic, yet super helpful product. It sports a power indicator (something the Sony L-Series batteries themselves lack) and it’s capable of powering your DSLR or mirrorless camera for a whole day. Just add a fitting dummy battery and you’re good to go. Three sizes of Sony L-Series batteries Another neat thing is the variety of mounting solutions. A 1/4 20 thread, a cold shoe mount and a tiny loop for standard cable ties, it’s all there. All in all this product is really pretty much self-explanatory. The trick is to bring down the count of different styles of batteries. All you need is a bunch of Sony L-Series ones and that’s it. No different chargers, no myriads of different make and models of weird battery systems. Blind Spot Gear have chosen the de-facto industry standard of camera batteries. You’ll find a Sony L-Series style battery almost everywhere around the world. They are robust, reliable & battle-tested. Sure, for a larger digital cinema cameras you’ll end up using V-mounts or Anton Bauer gold mounts but for DSLR and mirrorless cameras this tiny addition to your rig will save you from hassling around with a pocket full of batteries. You can add battery dummies for all major brands, including Sony, Canon, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Nikon and Blackmagic Design. And, thanks to the USB outlets you also can charge your phone while on the go. Or a GoPro for several days if you want to. Pricing and Availability One Power Junkie is £35 / $45 / €39, which seems like a very fair price. If you want to add a NP-F 750 (5200mAh) and a dummy battery of your choice (Fujifilm, Sony, Canon, Panasonic) we’re looking at £65 / $85 / €72. If you need a new-style Sony dummy (for an A7 III for example) or a Nikon dummy battery you pay £80 / $104 / €90.  You can add a variety of other dummy batteries as an extra as well as additional NP-F style batteries made by Blind Spot Gear themselves. Please keep in mind that Kickstarter is not a shop but a platform for funding projects. Estimated delivery is December 2018 and if nothing goes wrong that should be the case. Blind Spot Gear have a good amount of experience with manufacturers and assembly chains by now so I’m pretty positive that they’ll manage to deliver a solid product in time.

Meet the little brother of Elgato’s 15-Button Stream Deck. This new one only has 6 buttons but since every single one of them is a tiny programmable LCD screen, the possibilities are endless. Originally made for enthusiast and pro gamers, the Stream Deck Mini is well worth a closer look for indie filmmakers, too! This tiny device is basically exactly what its name suggests: A Stream Deck Mini. If you can’t recall what the Elgato Stream Deck was (and is) all about, head over to our original coverage here. Basically, the Stream Deck Mini is an add-on to your keyboard/mouse/touchpad desktop. It sports 6 buttons which can be programmed using a dedicated control software. Furthermore, each button contains an LCD screen, so you don’t have to memorize anything. Plus, you’ll get instant visual feedback on what’s going on. Elgato Stream Deck Mini The new Stream Deck Mini is really mini in comparison to the original Stream Deck (which wasn’t exactly big, either). The whole unit is only 84 x 60 x 58 mm / 3.3 x 2.4 x 2.3 in in size and it weights 160g (0.35 lbs). In terms of functionality it offers pretty much the same than the original Stream Deck but only comes with 6 instead of 15 buttons. Stream Deck vs. Stream Deck Mini. The real magic lives within the software. With it, you can configure the whole unit so it matches your workflow. Since this is originally a gaming device you’ll find lots of options regarding twitch streams, twitter, chatting and so on. And then there’s the one action available called “Hotkey” which opens up a whole world of possibilities. You can program all these weird shortcuts of your favorite NLE / grading suite / FX software to one of the buttons, create an easy to remember icon for it and you’re all set. The accompanying software now is available in version 3.1.1. As a brand new feature, you’re now able to create so-called multi actions. This is a really neat feature since you can stack multiple actions into one serial sequence and trigger the whole thing with a single push to the according button. You can, if you like, delay certain action within a group by a few seconds (or minutes). Furthermore, you can create folders within the software. I’m using the original Stream Deck in conjunction with several apps, for example Photoshop, Premiere and DaVinci Resolve. For each application, there’s one folder and therefore 15 fresh buttons to assign shortcuts to. The same is true for the Stream Deck Mini, of course. So having “just” 6 buttons is not necessarily a disadvantage here. You just have to be a little conscientious about which functions you need most for a given program. Pricing and Availability The new Stream Deck Mini is available now and you can get it directly from Elgato for $99.95. The 15-button Stream Deck is still available, of course. It sells for $139.90. The unit comes with an attched USB 2.0 cable and in contrast to the original 15-button version you can’t adjust the angle of the unit. If this is a drawback I don’t know. But sometimes I had the feeling that the stand for the original Stream Deck could be a little more sturdy. Since the Stream Deck Mini is made of one piece, you won’t experience any wobbling with it, I suppose. So maybe it’s a good thing to get a soild angled block rather than a two-piece device. Maybe this tiny device could be perfect companion for bigger conrol surfaces such as the Blackmagic Design Micro Panel or the Tangent Wave 2. Links: Elgato.com What do you think?

FUJIFILM is in the process of significantly expanding its range of interchangeable lenses for mirrorless cameras. Next up is the FUJINON XF 8-16mm f/2.8 zoom lens. It is due in November, but some specifications have already been published. Let’s take a quick look at it! The new FUJINON XF lens seems to be a pretty impressive ultra-wide zoom with a consistent f/2.8 aperture throughout its zoom range. Apart from this lens there’s another yet to be released lens: The FUJINON XF 200mm f/2 along with a new 1.4x teleconverter. FUJINON XF 8-16mm f/2.8 This  lens is not quite ready for shipping, yet. But, and that’s part of this post’s purpose: We have a prototype of the lens at the office and certainly will put it through its paces. Until then, let’s look at the specs of this upcoming ultra-wide zoom. First up, this lens sports a FUJIFILM X-mount, obviously. If we want to convert the focal length range to the “normal” 35mm equivalent, we have a zoom range of 12mm to 24mm. The FUJINON XF 8-16mm f/2.8 zoom consists of 20 elements in 13 groups and that includes 4 Aspherical elements, 3 ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements and 3 super ED elements. The whole thing weights 805g and is 121.5mm long while the lens diameter measures 88mm. Lens elements and rubber weather sealings (shown in green). The iris is made out of 9 rounded blades which can be adjusted in 1/3 EV steps. Minimum focus distance is 25cm, measured from the film plane, so don’t expect a macro lens here. Auto focus is also available, of course and, according to FUJIFILM, it’s high-speed and quiet. Let’s hope it is! There’s also a decent amount of weather sealing going in in this lens, so it seems to be a perfect companion for some serious outdoor shooting. FUJIFILM claims it will be fully operational down to -10°C/+14°F. Pricing This lens is already listed on B&H and as we approach this years November you can get the FUJINON XF 8-16mm zoom for about $2.000. The other new lens, the FUJINON XF 200mm f/2.0, a 200mm prime with an impressive f/2 aperture will be available in November, too. The kit with the lens and the 1.4x teleconverter won’t be cheap: almost $6.000 need to be spend. If you are into video shooting, the perfect companion for these lenses, the FUJIFILM X-H1 mirrorless camera, sells for about $1,650. Links: FUJIFILM Blog | Lens Roadmap Are you a FUJIFILM shooter? Let us know what you think about the addition of this new wide angle lens in the comments below!

Venus Optics launched a new Kickstarter campaign on a somewhat old lens: The Laowa 24mm f/14 macro probe was announced back in 2016 at their Photokina booth. Now, almost two years later, that very lens is the headliner of a Kickstarter campaign. Let’ have a look at this thing and compare it to the 2016 prototype design as there are some significant differences to be found! This “lens” is really something special. It’s a 24mm wide angle lens but at the same time it’s a 2x macro lens. I never encountered a lens with these two characteristics combined. And if you did, here’s yet another feature which proofes the uniqueness of the Laowa 24mm probe even further: It’s 40cm (15.75″) long! Laowa 24mm f/14 Macro Probe Lens When we stumbled over the very weird looking Laowa 24mm f/14 macro lens back in 2016, we simply had to cover it. The design was (and is) so unique you might end up asking yourself: What the hell is it? Well, it’s a macro lens but not an ordianry macro lens, obviously. It offers a focal lens of 24mm, so we’re looking at a wide angle lens here. But this wide angle lens is a 2x macro lens at the same time and it comes in a very odd 40cm housing. That’s also the reason for its strange f/14 aperture, the front element is just too tiny and the lens itself is just too long for allowing a faster f-stop. Check out those videos for a rundown of all the things this lens is capable of: This 2018 version of the Laowa 24mm f/14 lens differs slightly from the 2016 prototype version, though. There are some neat additions to the design: LED ringlight, updated overall design and a waterproof and dustproof front barrel. Features and Specs The Loawa 24mm macro probe lens definitely allows for some very unique shots but at f/14 you’ll need a lot of light, indeed. Therefore, Laowa decided to implement a LED ringlight right at the tip of the lens. With it you’ll be able to illuminate your subject even in the darkest spots. Dead frontal light isn’t the most pleasing way of lighting a scene, obviously, but at least you’ll be able to get some decent shots with this ringlight (micro USB powered, the port is on the lens barrel itself). The most unique feature of this lens is certainly its massive length. It might be seen as a disadvantage (think of packing this lens into your bag..) but in reality this design opens the door for a whole new style of shooting: You can get macro shots of objects from a safe distance, you can perform a “push-in” between small objects too narrow for a camera to fit through. The relatively short focal length of 24mm is pretty unique, too. But since a shorter focal length results in a deeper depth of field, you can capture even more from the surrounding rather that end up with completely blurred background. Laowa 24mm (left) vs. “regular” macro lens (right). Another benefit of such a long lens barrel is the fact that you won’t end up casting shadows from the lens itself on your subject. And, lastly, the waterproof front barrel offers creative flexibility which doesn’t end on water surfaces. Pricing and Availability The Laowa 24mm is available for purchase backing. That means, you’ll hand over your money to Laowa and therefore support them making this lens a reality. While working prototypes exist already, mass production is different kind of thing. But since we’re talking about an established company with an experise in making high quality lenses, the risk should be manageable. This is some pretty advanced lens design. In 2016 Laowa claimed to be ready for market in 2017 but it took them a full year longer. The reason for that is the really complicated lens design. Although this lens might look a little bit like a toy it’s a pretty advanced piece of gear, really. It consists of 27 elements in 19 groups. That’s a lot! it weights 474g (16.72 oz) and you can choose between Canon EF, Nikon F or  Sony FE mounts. Or, for an additional $200, you can get a PL mount version. If you choose the PL version, the focus and aperture rings will sport 0.8 pitch gears. Early bird tiers start at $1,099 and if everything goes smoothly, first lenses will be shipped by December 2018. The final price after this Kickstarter campaign will be around $1,500. Links: Kickstarter campaign | Venus Optics Website Are you into macro shooting / photography?

Filestage.io, a German company founded in 2015, aims for a smooth and easy-to-apply review process. Your clients and co-workers can easily review and approve docs, videos, images and designs with nothing but a browser. No sign-up required. Sounds good to me, let’s check it out! There are a ton of review and collaboration tools out there, sure. But in 2015, when Filestage.io was starting out, there wasn’t anything like it. The three founders have a strong marketing and agency-work background and reviewing was part of their daily routine. The development of an easy-to-use tool is their take on an intuitive and streamlined review process. Being media and marketing professionals ourselves, we ran into the problem of managing client reviews on an everyday basis. We tried a bunch of solutions like Dropbox, Vimeo, and email, but nothing seemed to work for us. As much as we loved our work, managing client reviews was stressful. Filestage.io was born. It helps you and your clients to conveniently review videos, PDFs, audio files and images without bouncing emails back and forth all the time. Filestage.io Features The good thing is that nobody of your clients and co-workers needs to sign up in order to review a given video or PDF. Just send them a link and they are in. This might sound like a minor thing but in reality it’s anything but! I think it’s super annoying to sign up for each and every little service/app/website out there. I just don’t want to do it all the time for things I, as a client, might need once or twice a month. Filestage.io lives completely in the cloud, your browser therefore becomes the user interface. You just need that aforementioned link and you’re good to go. Check out their teaser video below: When a certain project is near completion and therefore enters reviewing stage, it’s time to invite some clients and relevant co-workers to have a look at the result. Send them over a link so they can add remarks and comments. For each invitation link several options are available: Do you want the reviewer allow to download the file? Do you want to add encryption (256-bit SSL) or password protection? You even can enable/disable commenting, so the given reviewer can only watch but not comment. Invitation links can also be pasted directly into other collaboration tools such as Trello, Slack or Basecamp. No emails needed here. Everybody on the team can click directly on something that needs attention and elaborate further on the issue in the comments. Files can be attached to comments and all changes can be traced back via a versioning system. All changes are happening in real-time so you know exactly what’s going on. Once everybody on the team is happy with a given file and approves it, the file is marked as “approved” and therefore gets the green light. Pending files are marked accordingly, so you get a really nice overview of which files need some TLC. Clients can scribble directly on the given image/video to draw your attention to exactly where it is needed. This is certainly more intuitive than describing what your concern is with a particular aspect of the image/soundtrack/video. Since the whole filestage.io “app” lives in the cloud you don’t need anything special. A laptop with a decent internet connection and a browser will do. Even mobile phones or tablets are up to the task. Some reviewing of the latest edits while waiting for the train to arrive? Sure, go ahead! The simplicity of Filestage.io is really a plus for the service, no complicated sign-up routines, no excessive menus, tools and features. Just the right stuff you really need in order get the job done on a daily basis. Pricing Filestage.io is not exactly cheap but if you’re repeatently need your clients / co-workers to review certain pieces of your work, this service might come in handy. If paid yearly, this subscription-based service starts at $89 / month. This tier includes 5 team members, 150 files in total and 100GB worth of cloud storage. If you need more, the “Agency” plan might be the one to go for: 15 team members, 450 files and 300GB worth of storage for $179 / month. Regardless of the tier you choose, you always can customize the look of your reviewing portal using your own logo. So clients know where they are on first sight. To me, Filestage.io is a cool-looking alternative to some other collaboration apps with a slightly different approach. Frame.io, for example, might be too complicated for easy reviewing tasks (yet it is certainly more powerful when it come to video collaboration with tight NLE integrations). Filestage.io is more about single files rather than full-blown edits, I think. And for that task it really looks like a convenient way to tackle the review process in style. Well done!
