Older Canon EOS cameras do not have a video function, but EOS Canon Movie Record looks like a nice hack that will let you live stream what the camera sees into your Mac for recording, video-only. (Hat-tip to Jordon in my advisory who found it.)

Manual is here.

GoPro Hero 3 is out, and looking amazing, but that means that the GoPro Hero 2 is now $100 cheaper — $199. Maybe somebody loves you enough to buy you one?

We don’t have a Kessler Cineslider ($1195) and a Revolution Head ($1895), but we have laptops ($free) and toilet paper ($free) and table ($free) to make a slider for your cutaway interview: ball up four 4-inch pieces of toilet paper, put one under each corner of your laptop, and slide away. S L O W L Y. Maybe with a push stick.

Good (unembeddable) slider short is here.

Which is better?

Is cheaper OK?
