MyMyk camera audio systems, PocketWizard, Sekonic & Westcott

Arriving in the UK via JP Distribution, MyMyk is an Australian brand of audio accessories for photographers/videographers recording with their DSLRs. Construction is said to be 'robust', as the devices are built from polycarbon ABS mouldings for extra rigidity. Recommended from the range are a directional shotgun microphone in the £149 'SmartMyk', designed for DSLRs, mirrorless or video cameras, and the self-explanatory SmartMyk Windshield for the same, at £59. This is claimed to successfully reduce wind noise by up to 20dB. Alternatively there is the 'SmartLynk' compact two-channel mixer at an affordable £199, designed to allow videographers to monitor their sound input prior to and during recording.

It also features a removable cold shoe to reveal external ¼-inch thread in the base, making attachment to a tripod, pistol grip or boom pole a simple process.

Also from the same UK distributor is the PocketWizard Plus IV Autosensing Transceiver. This is being pitched as an easy-to-use, reliable wireless trigger, said to allow photographers the benefit of on-camera TTL flash combined with remote manual flash. Priced at £150, when used as a transmitter, the top shoe provides on-camera TTL compatibility with 'most' Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Fuji and Olympus cameras and flashes. When used as a receiver, the top shoe pairs with virtually any speedlight for easy mounting and manual power adjustment of a remote flash.
