Hi guys, I want to get the FLoLight LED500 for interviews, and would like to get a second light that is either LED or Flo. I also need be able to find something that is available now since I have a project coming right up that needs to get underway... I would have rather waited for Cool Light...

Hi, I'd like some recommendations on what type of lights to get to shoot interviews. I'd rather use a fluorescent or LED type lamp because I hate the thought of using really hot lights. Basically all I know about lighting is what is shown on this DV Gear video...

I'm shooting from a Canon XH A1, and when I set up a project I don't see any way to choose 24 frames/second which is what I am shooting in. So after I capture there is a long "conforming" process which seems to convert it to 29.77 frames/second. Is there some way to streamline this by letting...

I'm having a strange problem that has me perplexed. When I capture from my XH A1 to premiere, if I open the LCD screen and can hear the audio from the camera, the audio will be captured by Premiere. But if I tuck away the LCD screen, Premiere will capture the video but not the audio... am I...

I have the HP HDX laptop, and I bought it more or less to use as a monitor for my XH A1. The laptop is sold as an entertainment unit, and has alot of ports and input jacks, but I haven't figured out how to get it to hook up to my XH A1. I even took it into a local camera store that sells the...

I'm really confused about this and haven't found anything in the user manual about what is going on. I took my camera out for my first day of shooting, and went to adjust the focus and mistakenly turned the third ring which is for the iris (?). Well immediately the camera turned off, and now...
