Take out the tape. The auto shut off cut entirely. Of course if you are recording you need OL. It could be worse if you had a GL2.

I have a Sony HDR-FX7 camera and it doesn't have any XLR inputs in it, it only has a mini plug. I've been looking at the Rode Videomic, and I'm receiving good feedback from it. How about you guys? Do you think that it's a good mic for my camera? And it's only $150 compared to other microphones out there. </p> <p><a href="http://usa.rodemic.com/microphone.php?product=VideoMic" rel="nofollow">http://usa.rodemic.com/microphone.php?product=VideoMic</a></p> <p>Tell me what you think!

Note that this is one of only a few DV decks that takes both miniDV and full-size DV tapes. With a full-size tape you can have over 3 Hours of recording time at SP speed! </p> <p>It is in perfect condition, essentially as new. All the original accessories are included: owner's manual, cables, etc., except for the remote batteries and the cleaning cassette. I'll include a 186min. full-size size tape (used) instead.</p> <p>This is by far the best tape deck I've ever used and that includes many professional models. The rewind and fast forward speeds are almost not to be believed. The built-in edit functions do not compare to using a computer-based editor, but they work perfectly and easily.</p> <p>It will ship in the original Sony box and packing.<br />Please contact me with any questions.

I like the beachtek adapter and it gives me more options for recording audio.</p> <p>I'm pleased with the Rode mic as well. This mic can pick up some sounds you are not expecting to hear!</p> <p>As far as on camera lighting, I have the Bescor MX-601 6 VDC Light. It is 20 or 40 Watt, diffusion, barn doors and shoe mount...I'm okay with it but I really want something better and brighter and maybe even in LED to save/extend battery life.<br /> The good thing about the Bescor is you can go to Academy and get the same 6vdc battery for 10 buck. You just need to solider a RCA jack to the terminals; saves about 40-50 bucks. </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/i-am-considering-the-hvr-hd1000u#post-50188 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:12:29 +0000 Marc S. Brown 50188@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have this camera and I both love it and hate it.  On the good side, if you are shooting in good lighting conditions, then your footage should be good.  The HD video is vey nice.  However, the low light capabilities are poor, and are exacerbated by the fact that the gain control is totally automatic - no manual.  So, whenever you open the iris up you can end up with lots of noise on your footage.  The included microphone is good, and audio does sound nice.</p> <p>Skill of shooter will always trump limitations of the camera - I'm still learning how to really use mine.  If you go to Vimeo and other places, you can find some fantastic video shot with this camera.  Another option might be a Panasonic AG-HMC 40.  It's about $2200, but has 3 1/4 CMOS, and shoots on SD cards.  It's brand new though, so I haven't seen any footage from it yet though.</p> <p>Good Luck!</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/i-am-considering-the-hvr-hd1000u#post-50113 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:50:09 +0000 dagunner 50113@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a HVR HD1000N. This is my first prosumer camera. For a newb like me I find it easy to shoot. I shoot videos of Sprint car racing.  So far I learned the importance of using manual focus so it does not drive off ads I pan thru light pols and the safety fence. I still am not satisfied with the video quality once the sun sets. Not sure if I need to play with the shutter speed or other settings.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/i-am-considering-the-hvr-hd1000u#post-50065 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:54:58 +0000 slither 50065@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I bought this camcorder, and it's great.  It's the same as our secondary shot camcorder internally (HDR-HC7), but with the professional look.  It's easier to use than the HD7, because the weight of it is actually a plus.  It's not as jerky.  It has two hooks to attach a shoulder strap to, and that really helps for stability.  Footage taken is at <a href="http://www.slitherproductions.com">http://www.slitherproductions.com</a>.  If you go to the webmag, Michelle Wright's interview, the video footage in there is with this camcorder.</p> <p>Karen</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/explanation-of-picture-profile-settings-on-sony-hvr-z7u#post-49596 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:14:03 +0000 mastern 49596@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've spent a lot of time getting well acquainted with my HVR-Z7U, to the point where I even bought a training DVD (the one with Doug Jensen) to make sure I knew everything about it.  However, when Jensen gets to the Picture Profile settings - involving color and gamma and so on - he says "I'd go over all these settings but that would take another entire DVD!"  Well, not surprisingly, I really want to know what those other settings do.  Yeah, I can see some changes when I play with the settings, but to be honest, I don't really know what I'm doing with the camera when I change the settings.  Is there a video, online posting or another training DVD that goes over Sony's Picture Profile settings for the camera?  Thanks!  </p> <p>P.S. If someone is gonna take a crack at going over the settings themselves, I'm mostly interested in gamma - it kinda seems like contrast as far as I know, but again, I can't find stuff to confirm that.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/sony-hdr-fx1-help#post-49455 Sat, 25 Jul 2009 07:04:06 +0000 daryldrj 49455@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I have an FX1 and I agree a beachtek and rode mic are the way to go.

As for the Mic, well you get what you pay for but I like audio technica and shure. If you can afford a litepanels micro led, it is definitely the way to go, but B&amp;H has all the lights you could ever imagine, and they range in price from almost nothing to as expensive as your camera. Just look at the features and decide what you need. Finally the battery pack: You may want to take a look at the Anton Bauer ElipZ system. It's a full camera system that has compatible accessories such as a light and such. you can find it on B&amp;H.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/sony-hdr-fx1-help#post-49368 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 15:39:38 +0000 gottsnow21 49368@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I currently own a FX1 and i want to get a xlr adapter and shotgun mic, I also want to get a on camera light and battery pack!</p> <p>anyone have any recommendations on any of those items!</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/loaded-videos-are-blurry-and-bezier-masks-have-outlines#post-48748 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 21:09:49 +0000 XTR-91 48748@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>It's also possible that the editing software preview is shrinking or "compressing" your video so that the preview doesn't slow down while editing. Cyberlink PowerDirector 7 has three preview options: High-res, Normal Preview, and Low-res. What you see in the preview area may not affect the video itself - just the fact that you cannot preview in full quality.</p> <p>Try exporting the video with Sony Vegas and use a media player (or Movie Maker/iMovie) to see what you're getting.</p>
