How are you dealing with the LCD?
Chris,
These Canons are too smart for me. While inverted, the LCD adjusts so the image still isn't "right-side up" though the captured image no longer needs rotation. Which flip method are you...

DIY Static 35 on HV20
The light gathering on the single CMOS HV20 is superior to my single CCD ZR200 (of course!). I bet a 3CCD Panasonic GS could probably do well, but that's not the point here. With the brighter...

Am I seeing what you're talking about?
Reviewing all my m2t files for the first time I noticed this horizontal banding during panning movement. I'm not too familiar with the correct lingo, are these motion artifacts? interlace "blur"? ...

C.S. Michael,
By 'crap' you mean they don't last as long as expected or did you have other problems? B&H were out of Impact batteries so I ordered the original Canon model. I'm looking at...

It's a monopod for me
I got lucky today and was just in time to pickup one of five HV20s that literally just came in to B&H. I was originally there to buy a tripod/monopod (my previous noname didn't survive abuse). ...

LOL, welcome to DIY. What you bought is called 'epoxy putty' here in the states. Sounds like you bought steel putty epoxy. They're not kidding about the strength of that epoxy, you can...

welcome to the madness
Rafael, sorry confusing you with the word 'glue.' We often first think of superglue or elmer's glue when we hear this word.

Thanks Bob! I'm still trying to digest it. But I think I understand that the motor has to be laid on the same plane as the focus screen (vertical in my case) and center. The idea being to move...

Get a filter and JB Weld
Rafael,
Your tube is probably 57mm threaded with a 54mm inner diameter. To solve this, buy the cheapest 58mm filter you can find. Then take out the glass and retainer. Afterwich, use a slow...

Luke, if you really want to build it with the parts you mentioned you should look at the original Aldu35 (static) design. Then mount a vibrating motor on it.

Suggestions on how to test
David, when I was building my adapter for a 28mm Canon ZR200 I thought I needed an achromat/macro too. I understand from the thread at HV20 that he already had the achromat so he used it (the video...
