JVC GY-HD250/AB bracket:

[Carl Martin]

I noticed on the new 250 there is no place to attach a wireless bracket to hold a receiver. Usually AB adds the attachment to its brackets, but I don't see it on the 250. Please correct and show me where if I am wrong.

There will be an optional bracket kit released soon that will add the piece with the screw holes, and the bracket itself.

Tentative price is abut $150.

Tentative availability in a few weeks.

Tentative part # is AB-FSKIT2

This kit will allow for the mounting of a wireless RX and the DR-HD100 HDD recorder.

Don't have a JVC (I have a Canon XL H1) but I use wireless receivers, Lectronic and Sony, constantly.. Personally, I prefer Velcro for a lot of reasons... and it's a buck at any hardware store...

Thanks Carl

It's sounds maybe off-topic. But I can't avoid always shaking my head if I see that all these simple metal gadgets are always sooooo 'video' over-priced as if they contain expensive electronics... While they are just simple bended and cut pieces of painted metal. Velcro works just as good for me holding both devices very compact and secure for 3 dollar.

I'll second that. I was going to use the IDX HD bracket on the back of my IDX battery plate for mounting wireless receivers - until I saw the price! £100 for a bit of metal!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to a DIY store and bought a metal plate, the correct screws for the IDX battery flange and a shed-load of velcro for £10. It works great and I can mount/un-mount 2 wireless receivers in seconds.

Sorry, but I compare it like I bought a bike shipped in a box. In all exitement you open the box and don't find the last piece... digging further in the box to find out there is no saddle included!? Oh no sir, you need to buy that extra if you want to sit on your bike.
The point I want to make is that this is not user frendly in my opinion. I thought how come my old phone beltclip is in this box? I was digging in the box further fur sure to find something better then that... At least I hoped to find a plastic clip to put it on the multi-purpose sleeve of the camera like you see on many advertisement photos.

I saw a bracket last week at NAB, but failed to note the part #. Can you provide any updates on this bracket?

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Jason,

Please tell me what camera you have and what type of battery system you have, and I'll tell you the right bracket kit.

Here's what we're using:

JVC GY-HD110
IDX Endura E-7S

Are there any brackets available that would V-mount the DTE onto an E-7 V-Mount?

Jason,

The kit part # is HWR-HD100KIT . See this link for accessories:

http://pro.jvc.com/prof/attributes/a...&feature_id=05

The drive will mount on a bracket that positions it behind the battery, but not touching it. The bracket also gives you a nice place to hang a wireless mic receiver. The kit also comes with a power tap cable that allows you to power the drive from the IDX battery.

I was pretty jazzed when I got my EVO G2's and realized they have hot shoe mounts, so I didn't miss the mounting plate I was sure I would...
