Today we're taking a look at two video village setups for independent filmmakers! If you're unfamiliar, video village is an area on set where monitors are set up so the specific crew members can watch the camera - usually via a wireless video monitoring system. Our first video village setup features the Hollyland Cosmo 600 Wireless HDMI transmission system and the FeelWorld P173-9HSD 17.3" monitor. This is definitely a pricey setup, but it is super reliable, especially if you intend to pull focus wirelessly. Hollyland Cosmo 600: https://amzn.to/31drOGV Feelworld P173-9HSD: https://amzn.to/31iKwN4 Our second video village setup is definitely the more budget-friendly version, which uses the Hollyland Cosmo 300 HDMI transmission system and a FeelWorld P133-9HSD 13" monitor.

Blackmagic just announced the brand new Ursa Mini Pro 12k, and I decided to break down some of the noteworthy specs and my initial thoughts and impressions on their announcement. Yes, that's right... Blackmagic just announced a camera that shoots 12k resolution. Yes, it's TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. No, I can't afford it. Is it a beast or just a gimmick? Did they put Canon to shame or is this just overkill? Let me know what you think of the new 12k Ursa Mini Pro in the comments!
