I'm currently shooting a documentary with the HVX. I am shooting in 720p. It's our first tapeless project - so please have patience with us. I bought a 1.5 G-Raid and have shot around 11 hours of footage, and I appear to be running short of memory. Am I doing something wrong? I thought I...

I'm shooting on the HVX200 with the G2 Evolution lavalier system from Sennheiser and am using Audio Technologies mics. On our first shoots with the HVX, we noticed a lot of distortion in the sound. Mostly, it sounds like the lavs are being overloaded. We've tried turning them way down and the...

All, You guys have been great moving us to the tapeless world. Thanks. Here's our second challenge: We shot all day (with the suggested settings) and have a hard drive full of clips. When we hook up the Firestore, we can see the MXF files on the drive, but when we open Final Cut Studio to...

All, We're new to the tapeless world, so please bear with the basic question about the Firestore. We're wanting to shoot in 720/24p. The camera is set on the format. We have also set the Firestore as suggested. Presently, to get more time out of the Firestore, I have it set at DVCPro 50...

All, We're gearing up for a new project and just received a grant for some more equipment. We have around $1200 left in the budget. I want to upgrade my sound gear but can't decide between spending the cash on two Sennheiser G2 sets with and VT500 lavs OR splurging on a new shotgun mic (I am...

All, We're starting a new project and just got our HVX200a and Firestore in. I was told by someone that, if I wanted to shoot in 720/24p, I should not set the shooting format to 720/24pn. This person said that the Firestore would not record 24pn and that I should set the Firestore to 24p. Is...

We just moved over to the HVX200a and we're wondering what filter fits and how to get it on. Are the filters still 82mm? Or does a 4x4 fit into the front somewhere? Sorry if this is a bonehead question. Thanks in advance for your answer. GK

All, First, we just ordered a HVX200 with our grant money. We're starting a new project. Were we stupid to not spend the extra $400 on the HVX200A? That said, I want to shoot in HD and 24p. Are there any tips and/or tricks that you guys have in the way of settings? Things I should...

I'm looking to start a new project and just purchased the HVX. I was wondering if there was a really good lavaliere set that you guys would recommend. Anyone really like/dislike the Sennheiser Evolution? Is Shure any good? Your expertise is needed and really respected. Thanks for your answers!

Looking at two DVX100s to purchase and was wondering how I could tell how many hours have been logged on the cameras. Any help is greatly appreciated.
