Zacuto announced the release their new Lightweight Support System (LWS) http://www.zacuto.com/zacuto_lws.htm for high definition video cameras. Zacuto LWS gives you the ability like all previous LWS plates to mount rods to the front of your camera for attaching matte boxes & follow focus units. But Zacuto has taken this several steps further. This is the first universal lightweight support plate to work with all Sony, Panasonic, Canon and JVC cameras that use the wedge style tripod plate. This means that one plate can be used for all cameras. When you get a new camera you can still use the Z-LWS.

I came across a new source of instrumental production music by Erik Haddad, a Chicago area musician, teacher, and composer. Nice stuff. In fact, I used some of his music for my UWOL contest entries over in the DVInfo forums. Good stuff at reasonable prices.
