Re: Rain Cover
You may want to try the Kata CRC range of covers. I use one on my Panasonic AC130, which is a similar size to the XF300. I first used Kata raincovers years ago, and wasn't too impressed with the...

Re: Chest/shoulder pad for DSLR rig?
Also check out www.cameraribbon.com - sometimes simplicity is good. Shoulder mount with counterweight = good. I'm not so sure about supports that stick into your chest, or that look like an explosion...

Re: M-S vs. X-Y for field use
Steven,
Thanks - I did try that, but the problem is you really don't hear much until the trains it's on top of the mic. I will always use off-camera audio where I can, for wind protection and not...

Hmmm. I do a lot of railway videos. I am not an audio expert by any means, but I get by, and have more direct experience of recording steam and diesel...

Re: XA20 Third Party Battery
Not really my business, but do you really want to risk junking a $2000+ camera with a $30 Chinese knock-off battery? The BP820 is around $100, which is really quite reasonable for a camera at this...

Re: Protech ST7 shoulder mount for the PMW-200
I would recommend the CameraRibbon if you're on a budget. Simple, strong, elegant, it makes life with my similar-sized Panasonic Ac130 a lot happier for a day of hand held shooting.

Come on guys, there's no need to be rude to the original poster.
He means any recent models, there hasn't been a full-size regular camcorder with SDHC from Sony since the NX5 (I'm not counting the...

Re: Video monopods - I don't want a head!
Clive, it looks like a Chinese 100% ripoff of the Manfrotto to me. It may be as good, it may not be. It doesn't seem that much cheaper than the Manfrotto equivalent either.
Pity you weren't...

Re: Video monopods - I don't want a head!
Also, you can plonk your size 10s (in my case anyway) on it and get really good stability. And use it for a pseudo "crane" effect quite easily where you put your foot on the base and tilt the whole...

Re: Video monopods - I don't want a head!
I'm sure a post in the "tripods & support" forum would be the best place, but anyway.
I had the 562b-1 monopod; the 701HDV head was very flimsy, and the lack of counterbalance and inability to...

Diana,
You're not experiencing anything unusual, don't worry. HD cameras recording to SDHC will record in files that are 4GB in size. Once they get to 4GB, it starts a new file.

The CF75 _are_ lighter than the other sticks I used. I think it was 6kg for my Sachtler set-up versus 8kg for my Vinten. I find that 2kg didn't really make a lot of difference to me if I was carrying...
