A posting of Richard Crowley, back in July 2015, led me to the Instamic campaign on Indiegogo. Neat concept, I thought, and after weighing the pros and cons decided to throw some of my money into the ring and see what would result. The campaign was doing well, and had already surpassed its...

Does anyone know the output signal from the X1000's HDMI...is it 4:2:2 like the AG-AC90's was...?

Anyone using 128GB or 256GB SDXC U3 cards with their HC-X1000? Getting only 43 minutes with a 64GB card at 4k is a bit limiting for event videography...and if you're shooting backup mode with the second memory card slot then you are locked into changing cards, when the 'time is right'... The...

Got a bit of a shock yesterday. First day with my new HC-X1000. I installed my Azden SGM-PD11 shotgun microphone (which I had been using on my AG-AC90) and the furry wind gag (since I was about to start shooting a soccer game in the great outdoors). But to my horror I realized that the wind gag...

Fotonex offers a protective cover for the AC90 that is designed to give protection from dust/sand, and may help with shooting in low temperatures. It looks suitable for shooting in foggy conditions, or a light drizzle of rain, but it is clearly not intended for rainy days. Product is called...

As I continue with my video taping of outdoor soccer games, here on the west coast of Canada, I've continued to try and fine tune my 'inclement' weather preparations. Rain, and in decent quantities, is normal, but one game in particular last season was distinguished by the gusting winds, with...

Was looking around for a replacement shotgun microphone adapter plate, that I recently managed to break, and stumbled across this device that is offered to protect the monitor on a AG-AC90 when it is extended. Looks a bit overdesigned but I thought I would share it anyway... for more info...

Hey folks, I picked up a Samson Airline Micro Camera wireless system a few months ago. I wanted to get a back up microphone to use with it, and had an opportunity to borrow a Sennheiser ME2 to try with the system. I was very disappointed when I plugged the ME2 in, and locked down the connector...

Hey all, new member ... happily overwhelmed with the all the wonderful advice and information on the site, look forward to contributing what I can. I'm an enthusiast video maker...member of the Victoria Video Club, who works for a living, but gets a real kick out of making movies. Edit with...

I recently started using the Ikan VH8 8" LCD field monitor and am happy to report it offers a very good image and features at a great price. First, let me preface my comments with the observation that my 'target' is the semi-professional (or advanced enthusiast) level of video making, and so I'm...

I am often videotaping soccer games, and typically use the LCD monitor to allow 'heads up' recording. The LCD monitor allows me to be aware of what else is happening on the field, unlike the viewfinder which (even if you are shooting with both eyes open) limits your ability to be aware of what...

I've used Cameron Sino batteries with my Panasonic TM300 for a few years, with good results. So I recently purchased their CGA-D54 compatible battery (CS-PVD54S) to use with my AC90. The battery is a touch shorter and deeper than the Panasonic, and requires slighly more pressure to seat in the...

I will be using my AC90 to record a number of outdoor soccer games (September through April), here on the west coast in British Columbia, Canada. That means rain is a frequent companion to the games. I have previously used a Kata CRC-17 PL with good results on my Panasonic TM300, but was...
