    Can anyone answer my questions about buying a gimbal?

    I've got a D750, which looks like it's only compatible with the Zhiyun Crane 2 and 3, which I don't think are being sold any more. I think this means that I can still put it on any number of gimbals, I just won't be able to control it through the handle. It'll just be a robotic flycam. Is this...

    I've basically confused myself. What lens mount do I have?

    I'm trying to figure out which lens mount I have because the Metabones speedbooster accommodates Nikon G and F mounts. All my non-kit lenses say Nikkor AF on the side. I've just been googling for the lens mount, but... it doesn't sound right because my lenses that say Nikkor AF are not...

    my first video shoot with my Nikon DSLR -- I did everything wrong

    Wow, today was an incredible learning experience. I've done a lot of shooting with video cameras and my favourite cam to use is actually a low-level documentary camera, Canon XH-A1s, using a Brevis adapter to put interchangable lenses on it.

    this crazy thing called love!

    Hey guys, Making the jump from low-level pro camcorders to DSLRs. Just snapped up a D3300 and am learning the intricacies of interchangeable lenses. I haven't used them since I was shooting 8mm films in university a decade ago! And 3ccd XLRs were the digital solution, but still looked like soap...

    two questions re: manual focus and viewfinder

    I'm making the jump to DSLR from low end pro video cameras and am slowly figuring out the differences interchangeable lenses make. I'm really surprised my new D3300 doesn't have anything to help focus. Most camcorders, even at the consumer level, now come with focus peaking or zoom focusing...
