Nick Driftwood has released his new ARRI False Color Exposure Index DCTL for LogC3 and LogC4 users within Davinci Resolve Studio. This works verbatim as to how it works in-camera. Now, ARRI users can check their clips across the edit and grade, matching the metadata of their ingest to post-production. ARRI EI Map DCTLe (Ver 1.5) is a DaVinci Resolve DCTL that emulates ARRI’s native six-zone false-color overlay with pixel-perfect accuracy.

Hawk-Woods has introduced its new G-Lok Mini Gold Mount batteries at Cine Gear 2025 in Los Angeles. It has been more than a decade since Hawk-Woods unveiled its Mini V-Lok batteries, which, if I am not mistaken, were the first ever mini-sized V-mount batteries.

I caught up with a company called Custom Sync Slates at Cine Gear 2025 in Los Angeles. The company, which is based in Idaho, has been around for more than 20 years, and they can make custom slates with artwork within 24 hours. While these are just basic slates with no timecode functionality, putting a logo or artwork on one is a good idea for certain productions. Ordering1. Email your artwork PDF, CDR, AI, PSD, EPS, high-res JPEG, PNG2. Approve proof.
Wooden Camera Camera Strap First Look at Cine Gear 2025

3 weeks ago | newsshooter.com | Matthew Allard ACS

At Cine Gear 2025 in Los Angeles, Wooden Camera was showing a new upcoming Camera Strap that utilizes a clever quick-release system. For years, I have been using an old Sony ENG camera strap that I modified sing a shoulder pad from an old Letus 35 rig, and I have often wondered why no one was making a decent solution for cinema cameras. The Sony ENG straps are fine, but they require you to have a specialized strap pin set, which is not easy to find.

3 weeks ago | newsshooter.com | Matthew Allard ACS

At Cine Gear 2025 in Los Angeles, Wooden Camera was showing its upcoming Elite Handle Accessories. These look to be very well thought-out and constructed handles that can be used on a wide variety of camera systems. They have been over-engineered so that you could buy one and use it for the length of your career. The handles are constructed out of 7075 Aluminium as they need to often support a lot of force, especially with heavy camera setups.
