Re: In-text ads?
TopArcadeHits does seem to be some sort of malware that will pepper your browser with ads etc.
Worth having a Google for removal instructions.

Re: AG-AC130 OR Sony NEX-EA50 ??
Agree 100% Chris with all you said. Especially the advice of trying out both cameras. AC130 is definitely not one I'd like to run in auto!
Maybe there's another camera that may suit Scott. Canon...

Re: AG-AC130 OR Sony NEX-EA50 ??
Conversely, I've never had any bother with my AC130a. It is very much a small chip Run & Gun camera, but if you don't want to change lenses (I really couldn't do it in the environments I work in),...

Re: Hero3+ Focus again
Chris,
Are you comparing it with your old Hero3, or your returned Hero3+?
I was about to buy a Hero3+ until these problems surfaced, so I went with a Hero3 just in case. I would love a Hero3+...

Re: AG-AC90 shotgun mic?
I'll give another vote for the AT875R, best bang for the buck shotgun for on-camera use, I've used them for my last three cameras and love them. I currently have one mounted on my AC130 with a Rycote...

Re: Camera Rain Covers
Hi David,
I get very, very, very wet sometimes. :)
For the lens controller, I use a Manfrotto 523RC rain cover, it slips over the tripod pan bar, and is large enough to cover the controller and...

Re: GoPro hero 3+ good B-cam for xf300?
What a great idea. £149 for a point & shoot, who needs a GoPro? And at least it has a screen that I can use for framing etc., unlike the guesswork or dodgy WiFi of GoPros. Light enough to mount on a...

Re: Sandisk Extreme Pro 95 mb/s
I'm not sure this is a problem John, it's happened on various brands of cameras I've used, it's just the camera finalising the mpeg file on the card when recording stops.

Agreed with Mr Wilkinson, try Rycote. I've used both, and I really didn't like the Rode, very big and bulky and industrial.

Re: A deeper question. "Ringing" fluid head
Is it possible that it's the legs? Even if everything's bolted together rigidly with no movements in the mounting of the camera, the legs can introduce a lot of wobble.
I'm not familiar with those...

Re: Camera Rain Covers
I'm a fan of the Kata-type of throw-over covers. Closely-tailored ones tend to get in the way of me operating the camera. We get a LOT of rain, and I've been through a lot of different types and...
