So far I have not been able to get the hack working and crashing the camera. I tried the C settings and the camera crashed. Today I tried the B settings and the camera crashed. Each time I get the Motion Recording was cancelled due to the limitation of the writing speed of the card. I have two...

Well, it's that time of year again. The small town I live in puts on a display that rivals cities ten times its size. Not too shabby for a town of less than 2000 people. 13036725

I have a Chrosziel MB-450-01 mattebox that I used on my HVX-200. I'd like to get a new stepdown ring for it to fit my HPX-170. The current ring I have is the 450-16 110mm -091mm What ring do I need to get for my 170?

Ok, I bit the bullet and ordered a Cartoni F100 head. Put my HPX-170 on it and no matter which way I turn the Tilt drag adjustment as soon as I let go of the handle the camera flips right back to level. I don't feel any difference turning The Tilt drag adjustment either way. The only way I can...

What parts do I need to convert my HVX-200 mattebox to fit the 170? The tripod mount is offset so my regular rails won't move sideways enough to work with the 170 Also what part number step down ring do I need? Or should I just buy a step down ring and the aluminum plate from Juice Designs for...

Has anyone had their 170 record the same thing to two different clips? I recorded a concert Saturday and found that my 170 recorded the same song twice on my 16gig P2 card. The timecode is the same for both files if you match them up. The duplicate clip was only a partial of the "master" clip...

I'm trying to figure out what and where I can find this floating mount is underneath the fluid head. It allows very steady footage as it isolates the camera but still allows great panning and tilting of the camera.

I really like the fish and frog on the sidewalk. http://www.easyweb.fr/slideshow.html

Here's a short film I did for a wildlife/nature film challenge. We had three weeks to shoot a film based on the theme "Habitat." I chose the river as my habitat. Shot with the HPX-170, stock lens. You can view it HERE

Being a wildlife and nature kind of guy, I'm basically a two type of shot shooter. I either shoot 720pn 24p at 60fps for some great slow motion, or I shoot 1080p 30p interval time-lapse shots. I really, really, REALLY wish the 170 could switch between those two with a User button. I was...

Had a chance to get out and shoot some test footage with eh HPX-170. Since I love shooting water at 60fps, that was some of the first stuff I shot. The extreme low light shots towards the end were made after the sun had already set. It was so dark, I couldn't read any of the controls on the...

In case you haven't heard, we're having a 500 year flood in Iowa right now. I managed to get a few shots as I travelled the last road across town that wasn't under water. Since I made this, the number of city blocks under water has jumped from 438 to over 1300 city blocks. It's amazing to see...
