    This is precisely while I got the Sony HVR-HD1000U, so that I can rest the camera on the shoulder and use a big ring on the lens, instead of the small handheld camcorder ring, to adjust exposure, focust, etc. The HV30 might offer better image quality than the HD1000U, but the you don’t need to attach anything to the HD1000U to have similar rig. In addition you have two hot shoes on the HD1000U to attache wireless receiver, camera light, etc.

    What’s that camera stabilizer you had? It went around your back, with a monopod. Can’t seem to find anything like it on Google, or ebay. Not sure how to describe it. Thanks.

    any way you could give me a detailed list of what your showing. That would be really great. Looks wicked. I have a hv30 and am dying to have that rig. Thanks man. Going to subscribe right now.

    You call this prosumer? This is beyond prosumer, this look’s like a 35mm camera.

    Not even close to the same camera because of the differenet encodings which dramaticly affects the quality and “style” of video that the HV20/30/40 are known for. The HV series use HDV encoding while the HF series use AVCHD which is getting closer to the quality of HDV but lacks the “style” that Pro film makers love so much. (this however has nothing to do with the rig, its just basic camera info) You can “rig” any camera but some like the HV40 are prone for this for film making.

    @2009ka24det because that’s what it is – his rig has fuck loads of stuff added to it, the episode here is about building onto a very small camera such as the HV30

    Because the Canon Vixia HV30 is a handy-cam.

    Why is it that when I type in “Canon HV30 camera ” in google it only gives me the little mini hand held cam corders??

    Deep depth of field you can get with most cameras without anything, its shallow depth of field you need a DOF for

    no, i know of a DOF adaptor for 99$, its called the JAG35ST

    i dont think so personally, because im pretty sure that you can’t attach a new objective.
