    Hi all and good morning, I am looking to build an external camera controller for my AC-130. Having built one for my older DMC30, I don't think it will be a problem save I need to get the pinout info for the Zoom & S/S connection and the Iris/Focus connection. Anyone have that or know where I...

    AC130: Ordered new one!!

    Well I finally ordered a new AC130 to replace my faithful old DVC-30. I would have like to wait for the 130a but the added cost would have put it out of my reach and I'll just run manual focus for the most part. Cannot wait! Hit or tips for a NOOB? Jeff

    DIY Riser?

    I see most of the DIY items are for things directly for the camera or such. Has anyone built their own riser for both you and your camera/tripod? I know it is simple, but someone already has a nice plan for something sturdy but foldable and portable I would live to see it. Thanks, Jeff
