I've been trying desperately to get the Sony HVR-Z5U after much research on the cam for my needs as a shooter & it came out about 6 months or so ago & since then they have been all but sold out everywhere except 1 shady a-hole in the city. Then B&H was taking orders & claiming i'd get my camera...

If your like me with a limited budget but need help making sure things are framed correctly and to be sure things are in focus then why does an external monitor have to be an HD monitor? I know it would be nice to own one like a Marshall or an iKan but can something in a standard def be helpful...

Hi all, I just wanted to ask because I am usually no sound guy but, a friend just gave me a Sennhiezer EW100 G2 wireless mic. When I turn it on, the mic & the receiver pack link up immediately. Both digital screens are showing a sound reading. I get a full bar on the RF bar & then AF bar on both...

I wanna say thanks for all the info you all gave me a month or so ago on the interlacing problems I was having with my V1U. Turns out it was just Quicktime's missing Codec causing those dastardly lines. But, many of the settings you all suggested improved the quality in which I'm shooting altho...

The owner is a solid guy, talked about cameras forever on the phone with me even talked about life & other things. This is solid customer service! When was the last time you had someone just call you up out of the blue just to see how your doing & how your products are holding up. He's got so...

OK so, Ive learned so much in a short amount of time. I had an issue with my Redrock Micro sucking light pretty badly & I realized that I needed a different lens. The crappy zoom I got with my 2nd hand RRM2 was working but it was very dark so with the advice of 1 of their sites generous members...
