Tripod + 35mm adapter
Hello,
I have a Canon XL-H1 that I use the Letus35XL adapter on This unit doesn't need rods and it sits on a Manfrotto 501 (3433). Problem sometime is panning and tilting smoothly because of the way it sits on the head, since it is so front heavy I don't think would rods help center this, would they? Ideas? Thanks, J |

Buy the tripod plate system for the XL cameras...that will help you a lot.

Yes, Canon part number TA-100.
http://www.extremesoundonline.com/forum/plate1.jpg Your tripod plate screws into the bottom of this plate...you can see by the many holes that you can place it so your camera will be balanced properly. http://www.extremesoundonline.com/forum/plate2.jpg This piece mounts to the bottom of the camera, allowing it to lock onto the large plate that is now mounted to the tripod. http://www.extremesoundonline.com/forum/plate3.jpg I actually have two of these that I no longer use and would be willing to sell. Email me at extremesound@gmail.com if you are interested in a slightly used one (as seen in the pictures) Last edited by Wade Spencer; November 13th, 2006 at 03:45 PM. |

Or you could make one
See my post: Canon XL1/XL1s watchdog--Long lens support, this would allow you to move the camera back to get a balance point
