Post your camcorder & accessories pics here

Sony XR-500V with optional ECM-HQP1 mic.




Always get a comment from someone when I use the sock, too many to list

Here's the camera that I use for most of my shooting.

Nothing fancy but it gets the job done.

I currently have the Canon HF S21 and this are my most commonly used accesories:

- Canon WD-H58 Wide Angle Adapter
- ProCam camcorder handle/bracket/shoulder mount
- Rode NTG-2 Shotgun mic
- Cavision LH-77 Lens Hood
- Extra 5 Hours battery

Besides this i have filters, tripod, boom pole, etc, etc, etc.

Paulos joking

awesome tripod for the price

Yeah but the Panasonic TM700 is the best. Everyone knows that. Just read all the reviews and see the videos posted on youtube. Everyone on this forum talks about and praises the Panasonic. No one here uses an ari. You can take the panasonic out of the box as is without having to add all the accessories the arri needs. The Panasonic can record for hours, not minutes like the ari. What am I going to do, tell my daughter's soccer team to stop what they are doing so I can swap out another card for the ari ?

And when it comes to audio, I can use a mic with a simple connection and easily get the mic at walmart, not the complicated lrx connection that I have to go to a specialty store for.

With the Panasonic I can do everything with one lens. Not the arri. With the ari I have to buy and use a separate lens for each shot and the autofocus sucks.

just to be clear, I wasn't actually serious.

Most of my shooting is done on a GH1 which is excellent for low light with the extremely sharp 20mm lens but unfortunately I don't find it as good as using the TM700 for shooting in situation that has plenty of lighting. That's why I have to get both the GH2 and the TM700. I still wish Panasonic would hurry up and release the TM750 version to the US with the better stabilizer but for sure they're trying to push 3D with the SDT750 since it'll help sell 3D TVs. It's great for people who wants 3D but unfortunately it increases the price of the camcorder by a significant amount for the people who isn't interested in 3D.

At least the price of the SDT750 seam to be getting lower.

$1,297.26
I'd get it if I feel I can easily sell the 3D lens for $500 which would make the DST750 cost around $800 which wouldn't be bad except for the part about me being very tempted to try the 3D lens before I sell it which would decrease the value.

LOL. Neither was I. Just poking fun at people who treat reviews and opinions on discussion boards as gospel or trash a product because it's workflow is different than the workflow they are used to.

Here's mine:


HDR-XR500V

I paid about $39, plus $7 for shipping. It can be purchased at the Sony Parts & Accessory site here. The hood is meant for the HDR-HC1 cam, but it fits my XR500v after the tabs were removed.

I originally bought a hood off eBay for $7, didn't like it. The one I have now from Sony is a lot nicer, too bad about the ridiculous price.

Are you located outside the US? Maybe that's why you can't access the site.

It's me again. Guys, I'm sure you have a cheap/expensive/home made camcorder rig that you wanna share.

This is my simple rig on a budget.
