>>a big thanks to the authors of the original presets for giving us all a nice >>starting point to work off of.
Henry- can you point me towards this thread/link? I'd love to see what you're talking about. Thanks, Greg |
Henry refers to our XL H1 Custom Presets Download Library .

Thanks Chris. This forum is a treasure!

As soon as folks start sharing their XH custom presets, custom functions, and custom display settings, then we'll fire up an XH Custom Settings Download Library.

I've shot enough tape to get a feel for the camera now and wanted to post a couple things I haven't seen yet.
First is that the image stabilizer is amazing. You'll be able to shoot handheld in situations you wouldn't think possible. Second is that the lcd and viewfinder really suck. The lcd is almost unuseable in sunlight. And the viewfinder, though high-resolution, is way too small. The type from essential info display covers most of the image. If you wear glasses, the high magnification of the viewfinder means you have to work at it to get your eye centered on it. And the lip of the rubber eye piece doesn't fold down so you can't get your eye closer. On the other hand, the lcd folds every which way, so you can have it on the side of the camera, which is great for keeping an eye on framing during interviews. chuck |
Hey Chuck,
Unfortunatly that is a drawback to all LCD's... grab yourself a lieel lens hood from Hoodman, and you're good to go. |
the built in lcd monitor is not in a symmetrical shape , therefore it would be hard to find a hood to completely shade it off. I hope there will be not much light leak from the gaps.
I do have an 7" external LCD, but I still have to use the built in LCD or Viewfinder because the zebras will not transfer to an external LCD. |
I've been closely reading and watching this forum and keeping the tissue handy to wipe away the saliva.
I just ordered mine from ZGC and should be fiddling this weekend. Now to decide what to do with my partially broke GL2... |
I emailed Hoodman about the A1 and got the following response today.

i'm using the hoodman 300 right now. the strap closest to the camera has to be stretched a little further to accomodate the swingout hinge, but it's wrapped on tight and very stable. a must when using the lcd and shooting outdoors during the day.

Henry,
Can you read my post on 24F SD and let me know in this thread? Thanks bro. |
hey matt... just saw your post here. i already replied in your thread.
you can capture 24f sd footage to a 60i timeline using 2:3 pulldown, and export to tape on any 60i deck. |
