This is Crazzzzzzzzzzzzy!!! I like the bottle and dolly.

I wasn't able to view the DvcproHD clip. Quicktime tells to download some plugins. What did you use to create the clip?

I'm placing an order this weekend for hvx with B&h.

Super coolio bro.

How many P2 cards did you buy?
Can you send me the workflow for DVCprohd all the way to finish and blowing it up in film. How are you reading the P2's directly from camera or are you using card readers?

Hari, I'm splitting this off to the HVX200-specific thread.

Hi Steev,

Must MPIC be fixed to camera`s filter threads and rods or is it fixed to rods only? I quess it should be quite uncomfortable to first thread it on and then match the rod support and so on.

I wonder if there is any low battery indicator on MPIC?

Regs,
T.

You need to put the MPIC on the threads, then insert rods. Once you've done it a couple times, it's easy. If I'm removing the MPIC, I just loosen up the rod tighteners, push the rods back towards the camera, and unscrew the MPIC.

There is an LED indicator to show you the speed rate. So regarding knowing if the battery is low, it's basically a matter of paying attention to how bright the LED is/should be, and also listening to the speed periodically.
