Newsshooter at IBC 2016: Tilta fan cooled Sony a6300 cage from Dan Chung on Vimeo.
At the IBC show in Amsterdam Newsshooter reports about a new product from Tilta:
Tilta have come out with a cage that is has an active cooling fan in the base that they say should help extend record times and prevent sensor issues. The fan requires 12V power from an external source.
There is no info on pricing and shipment date yet.
SAR reader Daniel Wood managed to install Instagram on the Sony A7rII! I think this is a super feature and hopefully it will be available soon for all SAR readers. Feel free to post questions on our comment system Daniel will surely answer you!
One more note for Sony: You should really allow the instalaltion of third party APPS on Sony cameras!
The new Laowa 12mm f:2.8 Zero D Wide Angle Lens (availabel in A and E-mount versions) will be available the end of November 2016 and will have a MRP of £899.99.

Newsshooter at IBC 2016 – Interview with Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki from Dan Chung on Vimeo.
Sigma made quite a Splash on the web when they announced their eight new E-mount Cine lenses. And now we got some clue about the pricing of these: In an interview with Newsshooter Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki said the new Cine lenses will cost under $5,000. That’s about the same price of the Zeiss Compact Primes…
The German company Metz just announced the new MecaBlitz M400. Specs and details of the Sony MUlti Interface version can be read here: www.metz-mecatech.de.
The mecablitz M400 represents a new generation of compact flash systems. It is especially suited to mirrorless system cameras and is ideal for any photographers or film-makers looking for a convenient flash unit. The mecablitz M400 is also highly equipped and leaves nothing to be desired. The maximum guide number of 40 forISO 100 is capable of handling almost all shooting situations. Versatile lighting options are provided by the motor zoom function (24-105 mm), the fully pivotable reflector with removable reflector card and the integrated wide-angle diffuser (12 mm). The M400 is also ideal for wireless operation, be it TTL or servo. As for usability, the M400 also sets new standards with its innovative OLED display and its impressively tidy, simplified user interface.
The AUTO TTL operating mode enables the camera to fully automatically control the flash unit (turning on and flashing) and ensures the subject of your picture is put in the best light possible – perfect to those new to flash. The mecablitz can be synchronised with the first or second shutter curtain (irrespective of camera model) and it supports high-speed sync (HSS or FP). The new design of the mecablitz M400 not only looks timeless – the flash unit is always kept up-to-date via a USB interface for receiving firmware updates.
