i have a JVC GY DV500 with 1/2" CCDs, and i was wondering if the mini35 would work with it. I haven't read anything about it yet on these forums.

I don't think it will. As of now the adapter will only work with four cameras. xl1/xl1/sony pd150/dvx100/sony fx1. You best best would be to try making your own mini35 device for it. THe result are surprisingly good.

Check out the alternitive imaging methods forum. you'll find what you'll need to know there. theres not really much to it.

ok i see all this stuff for making your own mini35...but all the cameras are way smaller than mine, does that make a difference? i wish i had a CD with a tutorial on how to make one.

If you've got the balls to do it it is a fairly easy thing to build and the concept would work on and camera. Do a search on Marla. THat was a short film made using a standard SLR camera and a canon xm2. That produced amazing results. On their website which is something like-www.marla-the-movie.com. they have a good tutorial that shows you how to make it.

Here is another site that explains the concept of the device.
