Press Release from LockCircle

Canon 7D

After the great sales success of LockPort5 for 5D cameras, we are announcing the LockPort7 for 7D cameras.

The LockPort7 is a new product developed to help avoid damaging your 7D camera port. The mini HDMI camera port is very “expensive to repair” if damaged! The LockPort7 protects definitely the fragile output on your camera from tough production abuse with a rock solid clamp and a smart mini to full-size HDMI adapter. The LockPort7 adapter is designed to fit easily the popular RedRock Micro DSLR Baseplate using the original screws and soft adhesive pads. Ready in 3 minutes!

The LockPort7 safely secures a 90° FRONT/REAR mini HDMI to full-size HDMI adapter, protecting forever the “expensive to repair” mini HDMI camera port. The adapter has gold plated contacts, the full-size female output allows you to use stronger standard HDMI cables, you can purchase everywhere! Standard size HDMI plugs locks securely in the socket – no signal loose!

The LockPort7 (and LockPort5) was designed last year by a well recognized italian-australian digital cinematographer shooting massive film/tv-series productions with 5D and 7D cameras.

The LockPort7 was the smart solution to resolve several camera port damages which frequently happen using multi-camera set-ups. Now, after a long year testing on several prototypes, the LockPort7 is for sale!

The full-size HDMI 90° output can be used in FRONT or REAR position (2 different adapters) to reach the best cable ergonomics solution on your rig set-up! The LockPort7 Adapters are available in FRONT and REAR editions, also available in kit or sold separately! Instant reverse output direction set-up.

Can be ordered now, estimated delivery for middle of November. Price List USD 99,00

  • Aerospace technology is used to make it incredibly lightweight and strong!
  • Fits directly with original head/support screws on every support out there.

Recommended Canon Lenses for Portrait Photography

Recommended portrait lenses for photography, for beginners I will recommend canon 50mm f/1.8 lens, for semi-pro and professional photographers 50mm f/1.4 and f/1.2L lens is highly recommended.
Traditionally, photographers have relied upon moderate telephotos for portraits, lenses such as the 85mm f/1.8 USM, the 85mm lenses allow you to back off a little bit from your subject, and still produce frame-filling shots while minimizing the amount of background distractions.
Zoom lenses such as 17-55mm f/2.8 is ideal for portrait and wedding photography for APS-C DSLRs (T3 / 1100D , T3i / 600D, 60D and 7D). Professional L-series Lenses such as 24-70mm and 70-200mm zooms, are versatile choices that allow you to back off and also tend to throw backgrounds out of focus, highly recommended for Full frame DSLRs like 5D series and 1Ds series.
