Essential Accessories for DVX100

John Semikian · January 7th, 2004, 03:10 AM

hi, i got a dvx100 and im wondering where can i go to get film like accessories for it. im talking lenses, viewfinders, everything.

p.s. i use it to make short movies with my friends so big accessories are ok, im not looking to run with my camera outdoors it mostly sits still on a tripod

Get a UV filter to protect the lens, an extra battery and a case. For outdoor shooting, think about a polarizer as well. Where to buy? Check out dvinfo's sponsors.

those are all good and i thank you for your suggestions but the kind of accessories i was talking about are the kind that make the camera look bigger, kind of like a film camera. like when you look at rental house adds you could find my camera but it looks nothing like mine cause all the attachments and accessories and i have no idea where i can find that stuff.

For matteboxes, shoulder supports, rod systems, and follow focus units check out:

Cavision
Chrosziel
CineTech

ZGC, one of DVInfo's sponsers, is a distributor for Chrosziel through 16x9inc, another company. The other two you can purchase directly.

thanks guys. i didnt know matte boxes could be so expensive

I think this stuff looks pretty interesting and for the price, it seems like a good practical/portable solution(mattebox and french flag). I especially like the idea of being able to store this stuff with relative ease.

i am very curious about the cinetactics stuff, i haven't had an opportunity to lay hands on any of it.

one suggestion would be a mini-rover handle and a french flag, i just got a table manners french flag from filmtools.com and it has a threaded bolt at the end of the flexible arm that threads perfectly into the extra hole on top of the mini rover - mate thingie.

on the documentary shoot i did a week ago i wish i had the french flag, i had a setup where there were awful lights that i couldn't really frame out of the picture.

They are good products but you can save some $ by buying the oversized french flag and using binder clips to attach it to your stock lens hood. Very effective. And cheap.

What are some of the worthwhile accessories for this DVX100a, which ones do you have?

Rich Lee · May 16th, 2004, 11:45 AM

the .6 wideangle from century is great. im considering the anamorphic soon as well. most of what i have been doing doesnt involve sound so i dont know much about mics and all that. i have a pair of cavision handgrips that have been very helpfull.

Working on a budget and have some room for a few "toys". I want to trick out my DVX-100 and give it the works. What are some of the major accessories that will help my camera be all that it can be?

Peter Jefferson · September 17th, 2004, 02:43 AM

Sennheiser G2 Wireless mic, and a Tripod :)

Jim Quinlan · September 17th, 2004, 07:55 AM

A set of filters for the lens - polarized, UV. I agree with Peter about the Sennheiser wireless mic and a good tripod.

Jason Epperson · September 17th, 2004, 10:18 AM

Should I even dream about getting that Beauty?

Visited the website and looks to be around $7 G's

Is there anyone else who sells this converter for less???
