Wesley:

As far as the battery hitting your knees and the monitor being obstructed, it sounds like you are flying the rig directly in front of you. It should be off to one side, the opposite side...

Holy cow--umm--jeez.

Wesley, the monitor and battery are supposed to be at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock relative to the camera, not 3 and 9.

As far as the level; stick one bubble under the camera...

Dennis:

I haven't shot much with the XL2 yet, but I think I used to rate the XL1s at 160-200. Depends on the vintage of Mini35 also, the newer ones are a bit faster.

A good list, but I'd put 24 fps (or at very least, 30) at the very top. The best lit and composed 60i video will, to me, never look film-like due to the motion characteristic. It's not to say that in...

I agree with Dennis. The amount of work, hardware and $ involved with the Mini35 is only relevant if you intend to shoot below an f 5.6 most of the time. But there are occasions where a deep stop is...

Based on what I've heard about the Mini35 issue, the distance from the base of the XL1 to the center of the lens is different on the XL2, meaning that the rod system will have different specs also.
