FX-1 Shoe Bracket
The FX1 has just the one accessory shoe. I find that mounting a mic on it prevents the LCD from being opened, so I'd like to offset the mounting point. What I really want is a shoe converter so that I can mount both a mic and a light, one to the left and one to the right.
I searched brackets here and came across this.. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...Tri_Mount.html but it looks very cumbersome. |

Actually I should ammend my last post as I've now learned that I can attach a Z1 mic holder onto the FX-1. So my question should be, does anyone have a link to a supplier of the Z1 mic holder?
Thanking you. |

How about this one
I mount my HVL LBP in the middle of the camera so it won't be front heavy. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...s/IMG_5948.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...s/IMG_5949.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...IMG_5957-1.jpg I bought that here: http://www.vfgadgets.com/HDVbracket.htm Last edited by Rickey Brillantes; June 18th, 2008 at 05:42 PM.

I have the HDV bracket on one FX1 and a Delvcam handle bracket on the other. The Delvcam one has some cable management if needed on it, but I prefer the smaller HDVBracket myself. Good suggestion. |

How are you running, both, a Rode Video Mic and the Sennheiser wireless to your FX1 without the need of an XLR box like a Beachtek or Juicedlink XLR adapter. Are you running a splitter to the FX1's 1/8 mic input? If so, which one, and how is the audio quality? Do you have a problem with signal overload (clipping)? As, you don't obviously have independent control over the individual L/R channels of audio on the FX1 or individual pot adjustments like that from an XLR adapter unit. EDIT: Never mind I just now noticed that you seem to have a Beachtek DXA-FX box attached to the bottom. BTW, have you had a chance to try the new DXA-6HD box with built in pre amps. Or possibly a Juicedlink CX211 with built in pre amps as well, as these units are real quiet. (I ahve done a few reviews on the Juicedlink boxes. |

The part # for that mic mount is X-2023-933-1 HOLDER ASSY, MICROPHONE. Remember that the screws are separate and you will need to fabricate the spaces that sony does not sell separately from the whole handle assembly (Part # 19 on the diagram).
I'll attach an exploded parts diagram too. Thanks for the nice words about The J-Rod Michael ! It will help you if you get the Z1 mic mount Dugi. Last edited by Jeff Rhode; June 22nd, 2008 at 04:43 PM. Reason: additional info |

Michael,
Yup! I do use the DXA FX Beachtek and Im pretty satisfied w/it though I hav'nt had a chance experimenting w/other brands as you've mentioned. Dugi, I bought my mic holder from John Woo in Singapore, and took less than 2 weeks for shipping. Mounting it was easy. I still see it for sale in Ebay though. Rickey |

I've searched the forums and Google without results. Does anyone know where to find something similar? Thanks. Alec Moreno http://www.1Day1ShotProductions.com |

I have the VFGadgets DV bracket and it works very well. But I also have this bracket DELVG10801 Handle Bracket Which works very well as well. It a bit larger than the VFGadgets one. but it has a nice cable management feature which helps keep cables out of the way if needed. |
