Essential Accessories for HG10
Hi Everyone,
I just received my HG10 today and am looking to find out what accessories I need to buy. I plan on using the camcorder primarily for family and vacation videos. As I get better and my interest evolves, I hope to expand it to other things. I will be editing on a Macbook Pro 2.4Ghz 256mb video laptop using iMovie. I would appreciate your recommendations on what to get and what brand. I've started a small list but any help would be appreciated. 1. Additional battery. What brand and size? 2. Carrying case. Brand you guys like. I've used Tamrac and Lowe for my digital cameras but am open to suggestions. 3. External HD. 4. MiniSD card. What else am I missing? Thanks in advance for your help! |
search search search! One thing i learned is that no matter what everyone says about each brand, you have to make the ultimate decision because you will be the one using it, with your setup, under your conditions. use the handy search box and just start plugging in brand names. or go to www.bhphoto.com and use there category search for tripods, accessories, etc...
popular brands... bogen miller kata lacie panasonic but you have a smaller sized camera, so accessories should be a little easier to find and carry less weight as far as compromises. all you need is good tape and a good tripod IMO. welcome! |
External mic - Rode Videomic would be a good starting point.
Lens hood - sunlight gets in there pretty easily. Several batteries - cheap brands from the internet or ebay and maybe a dual charger. |
I have a UV/Polarizer/Warm kit, bigger spare battery, SD card, VideoMic and the Canon wide angle. I also got the little vid light (cant remember the model offhand). The wide angle's great, but you can't use the HG10's onboard light with it on. :)
I'm intrigued with the DOF stuff that folks are trying with the HV20. |

I went with the 2400 mah Canon battery. I'm using the Rode Videomic. It's not heavy, has rolloff and can be attenuated (inside the battery compartment).
