I am a novice A1 user about to spend 3 weeks shooting a documentary, a behind-the-scenes for an independent movie. Got the A1 a couple days ago, but I'd like recommendations for a battery charger, a hard case, and cassettes. I'd like the case to hold the A1, 2 extra batteries, a couple of filters, the lens hood, and 8 cassettes, and to have a handle and wheels if possible. If the case should hold anything else please let me know. N00b would overstate my qualifications. Quality is far more important than low price for these items. Ideally the case recommendation would include a model number; I know Pelicans are good but they have a zillion models. And for cassettes, I just want the ones least likely to break. I am open to suggestions regarding optimum tape length. In theory the longer the better but if they're anything like audio tapes used to be the long ones are more prone to breakage; don't know if that's a problem with DV tapes.

thanks!

I use a lenmar mach 1 speed charger with add on plate XPA1, works great. As for tape, I've been using Sony Premiums for ages, never a problem.
