Of Note

• Cinema5D reviews JAG35’s new $500 electronic follow focus. The verdict: great price, works decently, but very noisy and has some big flaws.
• Attach lenses, microphones, and a tripod mount to an iPad 2 with this neat gadget for better-looking video. (But if you’re serious about video, get an actual video camera. The iPad’s camera is crap.)
