Hi, Rod,

Nice to hear from you.

I was 35 feet from the stage, 1 channel from sound board, 1 Rod Video on -camera mic .

It does give it a bit of a stereo effect because C.Hh1 picks up stage...

Here is a demo clip made last night illustrating slow zoom with the Studio 1 Productions ProZoom controller

Here is a clip done last night with some slow zooms done using the ProZoom from Studio 1 Productions

Minor variation - I have huge problems with Vegas 12 to do long recordings.

Somettimes I can render, at other times the rendering goes on and on for 5 hours (trying to do a 2.5 hour concert). ...

I suppose different people react in different ways.

I found the video "dizzying".

I wonder how many hours with a new glidecam it takes to master flying.

It will be interesting to see what...

@Johnathan.. Good move. I bought a ProZoom and spent a lot of time testing it and expanding the diameter of the focus knob.

In my view, you get super smooth zooms with this remote.

Looking...

Mike, You need to have the camera on Manual, the Focus switch at "M" and the toggle at the remote has to be Down. I will check this out and update as necessary.

Curious to hear you don't need to...

I strongly recommend the Zoom Pro from Studio 1 Productions.

I bought this, tested it and wrote up a review. It costs $99 and handles on/off recording, focus, iris and has a super smooth zoom.

Where I live, there are all kinds of leasing companies, they are detached from equipment retailers. You may have to have a registered business to qualify for a lease.

Hard to comment when I don't have an AC90, but not a bad idea to consider the AC130 or AC160. After all, if you lease it, the extra amount per month is not going to break the bank. Many of us keep...

@apachekahuna..... very nice recordings.

I have an AC160A that I use mostly for stage/music events and documentaries. I am usually about 60 -100 feet away. The 22x zoom is great.

The AF looks...

I would have suggested that you put together a good web page and update this regularly but you have already done this.

One good way to get a following is to run a blog where you talk about...

Good!

I took a year to select my camcorder - I ended up with the AG-AC160A early in February 29012. I have not used it a lot (i.e. 175 hours) but am very pleased with my purchase and with the...

Wow!

4 to 5x sharper sounds significant.

I do many stage events and have found at a distance of say 50 feet that I need three focus settings (front stage, mid stage and rear stage).

I wish I could have focus pre-sets that I could...

I had a 521PFI but wanted a combined focus, start/stop, zoom and iris remote, so I bought the Studio 1 Productions "ProZoom" $99 remote.

I did a detailed review of this remote somewhere in one...

Hi, from Canada... regarding your choice of camera.

I would recommend you take a quick look at the AG-AF100A, given your interest in 4/3.

I don't have a 100A - my work is commercial training...

Absurd is right.

I have an AG=AC160A and there are two independent volume controls, complete with meters so you can set one lower and see the result.

The dials, for some reason, are VERY...

Auto-focus with either the AG-AC130A or AG-AC160A requires transitioning through contrast areas on the way from a source point to a target.

If you are able to do this, you get quick lock down on...

This is terrible when the people at the sound board change the signal at the last minute.

Entirely defeats the purpose of doing a sound check. I often do recordings of stage performances where...

I don't get " Believe it or not, but these videos were both shot totally handheld!" -

It seems to me that in both of the piano playing video and the Bryant Park videos the recordings are all over...

@billlysmith .. Good, I will try that.

Meanwhile, I have managed to make a few blu-ray discs from inside of Vegas 12, generating .iso files with these options.

Audio: 48,000 Hz, 16 Bit,...

@Alex... Oops... I need to understand " . . . .wears them out without any up side"

Say I use battery "A" today and then charge it when I finish my recording for a day.

Are you saying I should...

I have one Panasonic battery plus a spare which is a Model : SSL-VBG50 IDX has designed and manufactured a high-capacity Lithium Ion battery that integrates secured communication technology to work...

Hi, Gary at ProtekProductions

I am based in Montreal.

Impressive that you can adapt to any camera.

I did photo for a number of years, then nothing for another period of time. I went to...
