I want to build a DOF adapter.
Okay, so I've read thousands of threads about these things and I'm still not sure what would be best.
I have a Canon XL-1 and I can't decide if it would be better to just go ahead and buy an adapter or build one. I'm perfectly fine buying one, but building would so much more fun. So my question is this, for and XL-1 should I use.. Static Wax adapter Letus 35 Sg35 Micro35 Indie35 the "home depot" adapter I know alot of these have there ups and downs but I wanted to know what people were using with an xl1. Almost everything I've read has to do with the DVX 100. Which I am now considering buying. Anyway, any input would help. |

Redrock Build it Yourself kit
Like you, I thought do it yourself would be fun. I don't have any overriding need to have something like this at this moment, so it is more of a fun project than anything. For $45 they send you a pretty extensive set of instructions, with a ground glass.
I don't know if I'll ever get it done , but at least I have an idea what the project entails. Chris Barcellos |

My adapter is kind of like the home depot adapter as it used pvc, mine is different because It attaches differently and I also use a Nikon D screen but I wouldnt recommend a static adapter for an xl1, because on my Panasonic PV-gs150 there is slight grain, and I'd imagine there would be highly noticeable grain on the xl1.

Redrock
I have the DIY guide from Redrock. It's fairly simple for the most part if your somewhat handy with tools. I have quite a few tools that came in handy for working on mine and made it go quicker. You can do most of it with pretty simple tools although it would take longer that way. I'm about 2/3 done with mine, but mstly was waiting to have the extra cash to order the parts. The parts that are difficult have a work around on the Redrock DIY guide section on their boards, so over all there's only a few tough parts.
