Hi everyone. I'm looking for a replacement xlr cap for my AF100. I've found a part on this site (enter P/N VJF1468) or another option here, but because it does not specifically mention the AF100, I'm worried there'll be some minor difference that will not allow it to fit correctly. Does...

I do specialty commercial work (safety and offshore industry) and I have found that my regular customers keep me far to busy to have a normal life. I would like to use editors to do some of the work so that I can expand. However, I want to start off freelance, get to know them and evaluate...

I know there is an easy answer for this, but I just can't figure it out. I've got an expodisc for white balance, and when I use it with the AWB, it works great for a neutral color. The vectorscope shows it as a perfect dot in the center box. However, I'm wondering if there's a way to take...

First, Just got my camera yesterday, and I'm loving a lot of the features on it. I know I've got a lot to learn to get the best out of it, and Barry's book can't get here fast enough. But I have an idiot's question that someone might be able to answer in the meantime. I heard it mentioned...

I would love to hear from experienced guys who have their AF100's and have tested some mic's with them. I'd really like to see how that whole "too hot unless -50dB" situation works out in the real world! Thanks! Lawrence

Ok, there's a VERY long thread that seems to have gone back and forth, but doesn't address my basic question. The ME66/K6 gets bad reviews here (I'm told), but it has -66dB sensitivity which Jan recommends. Perhaps a more sensitive mic with a pad would be better. Then, in a quieter situation...

ORDERED MINE TODAY! So I've been agonizing over this decision, worried that I wouldn't get it right, or that I'll somehow be disappointed with one of the components. I was mostly happy with the HVX200, but I'm really excited about this. So here is what I have chosen: Canon L-Series 16-35mm...

Hi Guys, I've been trying to read up for a while and hopefully haven't missed where someone already mentioned this. . . would there be a setup where I could control the zoom from the Impero for the Birger Mount? I know that it's not released yet for the AF100, so I'm just hoping for some...

Hi guys, Does anyone know if Birger plan on doing a mount with the IMPERO remote for the AF100? I would LOVE to be able to control aperture on my Canon lenses (and be able to rack focus)! I've tried calling the company repeatedly, sending queries from their website, but for all appearances...

Ok, I want to upgrade from my HVX 200, and I have about 10,000 total. I was thinking of this: Along with something like the Birger mount for my Canon L-series lenses I have (if they ever make such a thing). Do you guys have any comments or suggestions on any of these items? Thanks, Lawrence

This may be a really dumb question, but will the AF101 come with a shot transition feature similar to the EX1R & EX3, or will the lens arrangement make this impossible? I recently rented and tested an EX1R, and LOVED that feature. How nice would it be to be able to just touch a button, and...

Hi Guys, I know this is probably a silly question, but I've rented an EX1R for a shoot (and as part of research for my much-needed upgrade), and the guy tells me that this camera is capable of a programmable focus. He explained that I should be able to focus on a subject, then focus on another...

Ok, I know I'm reaching here, but is there a way I can use my HVX to send P2 video to my firestore? I have just discovered that Snow Leopard does not and will not work with my Duel Adapter system. I have a project with video on it, and I don't have a way to get it off my P2 cards! Any...

Hello, I've been reading through some other threads, but just thought I'd see if anyone had any specific experience shooting from a helicopter and could suggest some type of image stabilization. I'd really like to make sure the footage came out smooth, but see that most people are recommending...

Hello, Could anyone recommend a good monitor for color correction? I've got Final Cut Studio with Color and a Kona LHe card with HD-SDI I/O. I was looking at something like this for around $4,000: http://pro.jvc.com/prof/attributes/tech_desc.jsp?model_id=MDL101631&feature_id=02 Any...
