Here is a review of the new Beachtek Inc “KAMKIT” Camera Accessory Kit. The Kit comprises a MultiMount bracket, boom mic shock mount, and top handle. I purchased a copy of the Beachtek 5D Bracket in 2012 and after submitting some comments on this unit, the manufacturer kindly shipped me a...

Mike, You need to have the camera on Manual, the Focus switch at "M" and the toggle at the remote has to be Down. I will check this out and update as necessary. Curious to hear you don't need to use focus at the remote. For the stage events I do with the camera typically at 2.8, typical theatre...

I am trying to synch a Bosch Rangefinder that I have permanently mounted on my AG-AC160A. Does anyone know what the distance is from the front of the camera to the point where the camera measures distance? The Rangfinder has a bias that you can store in its memory. You have to measure, then...

I have seen a couple of questions re how to manage the wires coming out of the Studio 1 Unit A couple of miniature 4" ties worked for me. Notice I replaced the Focus Knob with a 2 in diameter knob. This makes it easier to fine-focus, not quite as well as with much larger focus ring on the...

I have tried various renderings starting off with 1080 /60p footage - all of the approaches issued warnings of compression - until now. I just managed to do a rendering by picking MPEG-2 720x40 60i and this required that I separately render the audio to generate an AC-3 file at 48,000 Hz...

I do a lot of recordings of music groups under some really less-than-ideal situations. My Rode VideoMic has more than once saved the day/night. Here below is an example (at an angle at end of a bar in a community center, bad lighting, no sound link, broken backup Tascam field recorder, need...

I just accepted an upgrade of Sony Vegas Pro 12 today BUT I am on a new Windows 8 machine so I need some input. Previously, on my W 7 laptop, I was able to run 4-5 simultaneous instances of Vegas Pro 12. Beyond that, things got pretty sluggish (8 GB of ram). Now, I can only run one on a 10...

I found Lighting for Sound and Television to be extremely useful. My work takes me to places where I have to rely on my own lighting...

I have a Manfrotto 521PFI. When adjusting the focus by a miniscule adjustment the focus will go from, for example, 50 feet to 55. Trying to get back to 50 might find you at 46. I notice the wheel (or perhaps just a bevel on the wheel) seems to wobble when you turn it. So, is the above...

I recorded a concert last night with one XLR input to ch2 and one on-camera Rode mic input on ch1. The setting for ch 2 was -60db, the setting for ch 1 was -40db. The volume dial levels were 8 for ch2 and 4 for ch1 The audio meter for ch2 was very low. Normal for ch1 And, during editing, I...

Here is an AC160A clip done last night from a music theater production recorded in low lighting (720/30p, 57 feet from the stage, Filmic Scene, Gain 6db, Zoom 14, F2.4) Everything was on manual so no chance to test new auto-focus features. I may try auto tonight at the 2nd to last performance...

The following recordings were made with 1080/24p 1/60 indoors in a room with floor to ceiling windows from about 20 feet away, off of a 7 foot tripod with some ND filtering and set the F-stop based on the WFM display readings. Sound was picked up by an on-camera Rode Videomic. The singers'...

I bought this and mounted it horizontally on my AC160 shoe (middle position). The plan was to remove the shotgun mike tube holder that comes with the camera so that I could mount either my Rode VideoMic or the smaller VideoMic Pro plus an on-camera light on the camera. Sounded like a...
