Canon 7D (body) just popped up on Daily Deals this morning - NEW CONDITION. It's almost $400 dollars cheaper than anywhere else online. It's going to move fast for sure. Cheaper than what you could find one in 'used condition'. Listed as NEW with 1-Year Canon U.S.A. Warranty (not Grey Market). Advertised by eBay themselves, and ranked as Top Seller. With eBay and Paypal protection, it sounds like a solid deal to me. Check it out following the link (click here).

Anyone using the inexpensive Capa DSLR Cage yet? Shortly after first release, they added a base 15mm Rod mount to be used with a Follow Focus system, and now they're adding free handles to make hand holding a bit easier making your shots just a bit more steadier. Hopefully these removable handles will be standard issue going forward.

Canon 70-200mm F/2.8L IS II F/2.8

Missed the 70-200mm F/2.8L IS II deal? Fear not, there might be another chance for you to get this lens at the lowest prices this year.

If you search Adorama.com for the Canon 70-200mm F/2.8L IS II (latest version), you'll find a nice $300 dollar instant rebate available. You can check out the normal price listing (here).

If you click through the Adorama banner below, the exact same SKU product number changes the price and knocks off a total of $425 dollars off the MSRP price. Not sure how long this will last, but it's here for the time being.

Panasonic released a firmware update for the GH2 camera earlier today with some improvements, one of the features being an option for higher video bitrate (quality). Still nothing as impressive as the firmware hacks out there, but if you're a bit weary on third party stuff, and happened to jump on the current GH2 deal at B&H, the new firmware is a good start. Found here https://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/fts/dl/gh2.html

Ed shares this 323 style mini quick release adapter find. This small version states to be a replica based on the Manfrotto 323 mini quick release adapter (found here), but comes in at less than half the price.

This mini black 323 replica made mostly of Aluminum-alloy could be a cheap solution for getting your cameras in and out of cages, jibs, sliders, etc. [Thanks Ed]. The adapter specs state it has a 3/8" threaded hole, but can be stepped down using a 3/8-1/4 reducer bushing.

[Update] Here's a review that shows the auction details were improperly listed. http://cheesycam.com/323-style-mini-quick-release-fail/. Might want to to contact the seller if you grabbed a few about this to see how you can resolve the problem.

I learned my lesson since the first time we tested this thing out. This time we're testing her out without a camera mounted. The new wireless system solved the previous problem of us losing control (interference). A few more parts were changed out and the Pan / Tilt head was added. It's a bit of a Frankenstein project right now, but once we figure out where everything fits best, and get everything fine tuned, it will be redesigned again, and have a new body. Time to take her out to the park today. Coyote Point may be our first destination..
