I recently produced a series of videos for Lifebook, a complete, step-by-step life-development system.

Lensse is a 'camera support systems' company based in Turkey.

I recently received the updated model of their MidX Stabilizer. The major upgrades include:

- increased range in gimbal
- smoother / more fluid gimbal
(note: I learned that a drop of WD40 will help motion)
- included 2 new washers, 1 fiber washer & 1 metal washer 

Overall, I give the MidX an A-. The improvements they made on this new model are great advancements and should produce great results with the right camera gear on-top matched with practice and skill.

Maximum payload of the MidX is 2lbs, and with my small D5000 and light kit lens, I was at 1.8lbs. (Pushing it.) For my production needs, I need to use my full frame camera, 850 grams, plus my wide angle lens adds 470g, totaling 1320g (2.91lbs). Too much weight for this system, but I look forward to testing out Lensse's DSLRpro stabilizer which supports up to 5.5lbs.

Owner and president of A&M Homes Inc, Al and I have been working together creating a few How-to instructional videos regarding construction, building, and installing. How-to videos are becoming very popular, and videos that are well done, clear and concise, stand out from the crowd and can do wonders for companies "content marketing".

See below for the videos we've done so far, and subscribe to stay updated for all the continued content to come.

Congratulations to Matt & Anna Stern!
I was honored to shoot their wedding video (as my first), and was greatly satisfied with the results. It was a beautiful destination wedding held in the Desert Botanical Garden of Phoenix, Arizona. Second shooter was my wife, Mallisa, who was an excellent help. Filmed rehearsal on Friday, wedding on Saturday, and flew home on Sunday. Converting footage to ProRes took all day Monday, and I then turned the final edit around in 72 hours. Matt and Anna had multiple 'at-home-ceremonies' end of week that they played the final cut at.

They loved it, I love it, and I hope you do too!
