Hi,

Is someone knows if the HVR-HD1000 supply +5v bias for condencer mics ?

Thanks

I have beachtek xlr adapter, i have sonyhd1000 own mic and a sony PWD530 mic, when i try to connect pwd530 mic to the xlr adapter it not work. but when i connect a wireless mic to beachtek it work's

so the default sonyhd1000 mic will work with battery?! but where is it..

------------ when i try to connect pwd530 mic to the xlr adapter it not work

I think this mic need phantom power

I done some test on the HD1000's minijack plug, and it supply +3v.

The hd1000 default mic is not a phantom mic ?

No, it's not a phantom power mic, also it has only a minijack plug.

ok so what is the bias.... and how good a microphone is this?... and what other microphones run off this cam without using batteries.

thinking of getting this or the panasonic that records to sd cards that is a sholder mount.

Ed, could you explain a little bit more your post ...

Thanks

please re read I cleaned the spelling up!

Ok,

Maybe someone can explain better than me but I'll try my best.
So, the Bias is only the fixed +3V on the Mic (Plug in Power) used for the original camcorder mic alim.

To use another mic you can choice the mic you want.
- Some needs Phantom Power (not provide on this camcorder), it's necessary to use external unit (ex : Beachtek DXA6 (http://www.beachtek.com/dxa6.html))
- some needs internal battery (ex : Rode NTG2 (http://uk.rodemic.com/microphone.php?product=NTG-2))
- Some works alone (ex : Shure SM58 (http://www.shure.com/ProAudio/Products/WiredMicrophones/us_pro_SM58-CN_content))

The last thing is to convert from balanced to unbalanced for this you can use a Beachtek DXA2s (http://www.beachtek.com/dxa2s.html).

thinking of getting this or the panasonic...
Which Panasonic you speak about ?

The panasonic is the... AG-HMC70 the sony is the Sony HVR-HD1000

Guess I need to decide in the next few hours... yes examine the audio on the panasonic also.

The panasonic records to dshc cards and has xlrs but no focus ring. I wonder also which optical image stab, is better? sony's or panasonic?

I'm sure you will do the best choice for your needs.

HVR- HD1000 is HDV
AG-HMC70 is AVCHD

They are not the same HDV vs AVCHD (http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/09/30/hdv-vs-avchd/).

Good choice, and give us news

It is a hard choice between these cameras... I wonder which is better at lower light.

I probaby need to spend about 8k for a camera to do all I want plus be light sensitive but.... that is more than I have to spend!

I wonder if sony vegas 8 handles the avchd format well too... I know it will work well with hdv.

a pity the ones that fits a couple of the other units will not work with this... I wonder how it interfaces.....



the sony looks a little nasty at 12 lux in this comparison table... I wish it showed what the payy looked like...

the xlrs on the panny this is great.


i am trying to figure though just how good the 13 mbps record rate is on the avchd

On the subject of audio I am very impressed by the limiter on Sony cameras. The FX1000 is very good again.

Whilst I like Panasonic pictures better than Sony I have found that on the Pana DVC30 the audio limiter was woefull and since buying a FX1000 I am over the moon knowing audio will be much under control.

A good limiter in a camera saves heaps in post for me. I film dance concerts and stage plays and the dynamic range is massive. No more "hot" spikes.

Re XLR I am going to need an audio balun box that is small and good quality. I plugged a mini jack connector from a mixing desk into the FX1000 and had "buzz" appear after it was fine earlier in the night

What brands are good? Beachtec seems popular.

for short runs to an xlr mult box is a b h photo adapt cord ok??

shotgun microphone, aledgely the ECM-PS1
so is this a shotgun mic is it good?

going from a mic out on a mult box at connference events to the 1/8 with a nice cord.... why buzz? the cord is a short run.... what is the impeadance issues here?

help?

want to plug int stuff but do not want a box under my camera.
