How to brew coffee with a Vacuum Coffee Maker
Here’s a simple video I shot using my Canon 7D + 50mm lens, an iPhone and my home built slider. The process is very simple and quite therapeutic : Fill lower bowl with pre-heated water Insert upper vessel containing measured amount of coffee Apply heat source to lower vessel – the water will rise and [...]
mobislyder – a glide track slider for the iPhone
mobislyderis the world’s first portable camera slider designed specifically for a broad range of small video-enabled devices such as iPhones, smart phones, compact cameras and small D-SLR cameras.

Irkutsk and diving Lake Baikal

Famous for the many Russian exiles who were sent there for their part in the Decembrist revolt and lake Baikal – the worlds oldest and deepest lake.

360 walk around a dive boat
I’ve added a new page with a panoramic video shot onboard one of Camel Dive Clubs dive boats – Blue Moon. It was shot using the Pano-Pro lens with a Canon 7D fitted to the DSLR adapter. A word of warning though – the adapter has a slight issue with the Canon 7D base plate. [...]
