My Glidecam 4000Pro and XH-A1 have great static balance. But, if I hold the Glidecam so that its...

That must mean that I have it *incredibly* well balanced... :-)

Funny thing is... it's back in balance now (8 hours later). Hmmm. Very strange.

That's the same figure I've heard. While 100,000 sounds like a lot, when you consider that even with the on board logic randomizing the location of data on the memory chips, with the amount of data...

Update

I wanted to update my post above.

While it is true that the FS-C does not capture the last 2 seconds of footage shot with the Canon XH-A1, it may well not be the FS-C's fault. As a friend pointed...

Another impulse buy, but it looks better than many I've seen. Some have handles, which means you can't easily control the camera while holding them. I like the look of this, as it's balanced from...

FS-4Pro HD and XH-A1

A real quick question...

I'm interested in buying the FS-4Pro HD, but am unsure if it supports all the recording modes of the Canon XH-A1.

Thanks.
