I'm in the middle of building my own camera jib and everything was working great until I needed to figure out how to balance the camera head so that it's always level. I'm essentially copying this design here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CGEQpxpM2I I have the cable, and everything, but no...

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right forum (if I'm not please let me know a better forum to post in) I'd like to rent out my HVX200 camera when I'm not using it, but don't know what the appropriate steps are to do that. I have it already on my home-renter's insurance, but I think that's for...

I'm using an HVX200 and am editing on Avid Xpress Pro HD and have a few clips that were shot in 24p (from an FS-100), but the rest (shot on a P2 card) were filmed in 24pN. Unfortunately, I don't know how to combine the clips into one project and edit everything at once. Is there any way that I...

I shot some footage today at 720p/24fps (pN) and cannot offload the footage from the P2 card. I am editing on a desktop PC and can only connect the camera through the firewire. I know that the HVX200 cannot export native modes through the 1394 port while recording, but does this also hold true...

I finally began shooting my first video with my HVX200 camera using an FS-100. I set the camera to film at 720P at 24fps (I was told this would give the most cinema like quality). I went through all the proper instructions on using the FS-100 too and it was set to P2 mode (NOT P2N) and the...

I'm curious about some of the cheaper alternatives to the FS-100. Is it possible to record directly to an ipod, an external hard drive, or directly to a laptop (PC)?

I'd like to buy an extra battery for my HVX200 camera, but a new Panasonic one costs about $165 but the one on this ebay website is only $24 http://cgi.ebay.com/10HR-CGR-D54-Battery-for-PANASONIC-AG-HVX200-AG-DVX100B_W0QQitemZ180082533190QQihZ008QQcategoryZ43436QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Obviously...

I am planning on purchasing and ND, a UV, and an FLD (they often come in 3 packs) filters for my HXV200. Willoughbys was trying to push on me a brand called Digital Concepts for $120. However, I've never heard of this brand. Can anyone recommend a particular brand of filters for me please...
