Osee G7 Pro monitor review
A few weeks back, we published an extensive review of the Osee G7 Pro. The monitor is a 7-inch professional on-camera monitor featuring a 3000-nit high-brightness display (even more in our test!). The monitor supports 4K HDMI input and output, alongside 3G-SDI input and loop-through for broad compatibility with professional cameras. Key monitoring tools include waveform, vectorscope, histogram, false color, and peaking, designed to assist videographers with accurate exposure and focus. The monitor is powered by Sony NP-F type batteries or DC input and features a robust aluminum alloy chassis. It also supports camera control via USB for a number of popular cameras.

Westcott Easy Boom
We mentioned the Westcott Easy Boom when it was announced a few months ago. We can now share that we are in the process of reviweing the boom and that we are testing the unit with the longer 28″ extention unit (instead of the original 14″ boom), just a heds up we highly suggest that you get this longer version as we feel it is much more useful. More on this in the upcoming full review later this year.
