Want an affordable way to catch the live view or video feed from your DSLR’s LCD display? Does $200 sound about right?
The above video is a demonstration by photographer Robert Benson, who hacked together a wireless transmitter and receiver for real time video feed from your DSLR. Such pro-level devices can run in the neighborhood of $4k or so.
“The device, consisting of a transmitter, receiver, color 7″ monitor and additional components, takes the feed that normally appears on the back of your DSLR, and feeds it wirelessly to one or more monitors, which can be used by the art director on a shoot, assistants, or anyone else who wants to see what the photographer is seeing. Sends video or still photos without delay. Don’t have to bump heads anymore trying to show others an image on the small display on back of camera.”
Benson gives a full rundown of how this kit works over on his blog. And, if you like it, he’ll assemble a kit for you and ship it out for $196.

David Burnett, a Washington DC-based photojournalism legend, has been a photo hero of mine since college. Back in my college days, he was always doing something different than everyone else. He was always trying something new, and I was a photojournalism student at Ohio University, and a proud Burnett fan.
A lot has changed since those early days of the late '80s and early '90s. But thankfully, Burnett hasn't - he's still innovating, still experimenting. Still pushing himself to go beyond the typical, the obvious, the routine.
In this really cool installment of 'In The Bag,' I had the privilege of interviewing David Burnett, which gave me the perfect excuse to go looking through his bag. There should be no surprise that its loaded up with gear that helps to keep his creative energies flowing, his options open, and his innovation as impressive today as it was in my college days.
Canon recently showed a “Wonder Camera Concept” at World Expo 2010…
