GVM has released a new version of their 31" slider (currently selling on the UK amazon and their own gvmled.com website). New controller design, motor on the end of the slider and a 'looped drive belt' instead of the single belt design of the version they have been selling for the last few...

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...?

Well, in a way the AG-AC90 came to my rescue. A while back I had to order a replacement "MIC HOLDER ADAPTER" (Panasonic part no. VYC0890)for my AG-AC90. This is the part that attached to the camera body and supported the microphone holder...and it was broken when something fell onto my camera...

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...

And VariZoom still working well.. And VariZoom still working well.. Oh, and I continue to use the Varizoom as my controller for sports videography...but the Studio 1 Productions is a clear winner in studio situations, when shots are more planned and you are trying to execute similar controller...

Studio 1 Productions Mod (control dials) and VariZoom Studio 1 Productions Mod (control dials) and VariZoom Old post, but following up on my previous contributions I thought it worth adding the following info. I recently had a screw fall out of the control knob for focus on my Studio 1...

They offer a cover for the AC130 and AC160...don't know if it would have provided sufficient cover, but it doesn't look like it would take 20 minutes to apply...!

PO11 did well..! PO11 did well..! Got a chance to try out the Fotonex PO11 lens hood this weekend in a moderate wind and rainy day. The hood does not vignette the image, which was a relief, and it adds about an additional 4" of cover to the existing AC90 lens hood. I've attached a photo...

Three Cameras, One cameraguy... Three Cameras, One cameraguy... When I have shot weddings, I use three cameras. I shoot documentary style weddings only... First is a very wide shot, preferably from the back, up high and to one side (I like the depth this adds to the shot instead of looking...

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...

Another entrant in the rain cover division for the AG-AC90. Model PP37 for your consideration: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-PP37-Raincover-designed-for-Panasonic-AG-AC90-/261284987693

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...

Oh, and as I'm frequently shooting in the rain (or with threat of rain!), I did some digging and found that the Steadicam HD UltraBrite 2 Monitor Rain/Dust Cover is a great cover for the monitor, with room for the battery sticking out of the back of the VH8. Will have to snap a photo and post...

Wish List For Controller Knobs Wish List For Controller Knobs Ok, now my wish list for the Studio 1 Controller: Zoom knob & focus knob...add a white ring to the base of each control knob so that whiteboard markers can mark places (like the #1 and #2 in the attached image) to pull focus and...

The monitor uses 1365x768 to display the 16:9 image from the camcorder. and its got 234x768, left over, for the "information display" when using the standard display mode. When you select the 'pixel to pixel' mode then every pixel of the full 1600x768 is given over to displaying the 'window'...
