Welcome to another action-packed episode of LensVid Talk (episode 46). This week, we’ve gathered an extensive list of the latest gear and industry updates to keep you up to speed. We kick things off with some essential grip and filtration, looking at the versatile Kupo Super Viser Clamp and the new NiSi VND kit. From there, we dive deep into the lighting and power world with a double dose of Godox (the X3 Pro and Sky Air Talk), a first look at the Aputure Storm 700X, and the new Amaran RAY series. On the audio and monitoring front, we discuss the Tascam FRAV4, Rode’s latest announcements, including the Rodecaster Video and Wireless Micro, and the new DJI Mic 3.
We also break down the massive monitor lineup from Atomos, featuring the Ninja TX, Shinobi 7 RX, and the high-end Studio PRO-2710 monitor. To wrap things up, we touch on Blackmagic’s push into 32K resolution support in DaVinci Resolve, the innovative Benro electronic ND filter, and some unique niche tools like the SmallRig RM 03 for macro work. It’s a long one, so let’s get started!
This episode was recorded in mid-December 2025
Kupo Super Viser Clamp (KCP-608)
Kupo released in 2025 its new Super Viser Clamp that includes a clever twist—literally. It features a baby pin that can change orientation, making it much easier to mount lights and accessories in tight spaces or on unusual surfaces where a standard vice clamp would struggle. We got a unit for testing and already used it on a production holding a light on a shelf pointing at the ceiling – it worked very well and was super helpful in that situation.
Price: Around $105 – Kupo Super Viser Clamp on Amazon

NiSi JetMag Pro VND Kit
NiSi magnetic filter system added in 2025, an important piece – VND. The kit includes a “True Color” VND (1-5 stops), a 1-9 stop Mist Creator kit, and additional magnetic caps and step-down rings. It features a small adjustment handle to prevent fingerprints on the glass and is remarkably lightweight for gimbal use.
Price: Around $520– NiSi JetMag Pro on Creative Kit on Amazon

Godox X3 Pro Flash Trigger
Following the tiny X3 trigger (which we got about a year ago), Godox released the Pro version, which addresses the main complaints of the original. It features a larger touchscreen that is easier to navigate with fingers, larger physical buttons for quicker access, and enhanced Bluetooth for better app control when the camera is mounted out of reach.
Price: $100 – Godox X3 Pro on Amazon

The Prograde PG25 Pro is one of the first docks to utilize the lightning-fast Thunderbolt 5 interface. It features a massive 140W USBC power delivery on the front, 2.5G networking, and most importantly for many users—a physical on/off switch to manage power safely.

Atomos Ninja TX, Shinobi 7 RX, and Studio Pro 2710
Atomos refreshed its entire lineup. The Ninja TX ($800) adds CFexpress Type B recording and quieter cooling.

Rodecaster Video S & Wireless Micro
Rode continues to dominate the creator space. The Rodecaster Video S ($500) is a more affordable, compact version of their video switcher with dual XLR inputs and much of what its bigger brother can do in a more compact form factor (and a small number of reduced capabilities). The Wireless Micro ($150) is a tiny, pocket-friendly 24-bit wireless system for smartphone and camera users.
Price: $500 – Rodecaster Video S the Wireless Micro sells for $150.

Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 32K Support
In a move that looks straight into the future, the latest DaVinci Resolve update adds support for 32K resolution editing on the new Mac M5 chips. While no commercial cameras shoot 32K yet, this prepares the software for extreme VR and possibly future sphere-based content.
Benro NE1 Electronic ND Filter
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the episode is that Benro is launching a rectangular electronic VND system. It covers ND3 to ND64, features Corning optical glass, and includes a Bluetooth controller for remote adjustments—targeting a price point under $400.
Price: Under $400 (Expected) – Benro NE1 Pre-launch
