Good one! Whenever I do some DIY work on delicate equipment I tell myself, 'girls put them together, boys can take them apart'.

Great video! To anyone contemplating this, I can confirm that it is quite doable (and fun, if that's your idea of fun!).
When I made my repair last year I didn't need to remove the lens attachment ring (details and stills in this thread http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/canon-xl2...pair-shop.html). Is that a necessary step? Thanks for posting the link. |

Hey Ian! Yes I do remember you did the same crazy operation to your cam last year.
And you know what? You're absolutely right about not needing to remove the lens lock ring. I should update the video actually. Maybe it's just me who likes to take things apart that made me remove the lock ring too. So guys....No need to remove lens mount!!! I think I just followed the same procedure when I stripped my first XL2. (remember there was nothing on the web about the inner workings or how to disassemble). Thanks Ian for spotting it! |

No worries - I was actually more concerned that I was doing something wrong!

Ok I re-edited the "instructional" video and removed the section on removing the lens mount.
It's still at: Fix the loose firewire board on the XL2 on Vimeo |

Björn,
Thank you for the informative video, next time you are poking around in there maybe you could find out how to replace blown fuses! Thanks again, Bill

Great job! Now you need to charge yourself $350.00 to really appreciate it!

I watched this, then read the entire thread and even still I think my heart is beating in my throat. That is some skill and guts you got going there...
Excellent video too!

Great video, Bjorn!
The obvious follow-up would be a video of you removing your own appendix. ;o) |
