It is a wireless lav system... However, you can get a hand held option too... They are now up to G3 (G2 was last years model... )... I love it... Great sounds..

It's where I got mine. Your local camera stores will have em as well.</p> <p>I've never had a use for handhelds. Some reporters still like them becuase they don't know what to do with their hands but I find them to be limiting and distracting. They also create deer in the headlights vibe for those not use to being on camera.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/portable-wireless-audio-equipment#post-51943 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:41:39 +0000 realjmccoy 51943@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I am trying to find a quality hand held &amp;/or lav WIRELESS microphone that I can plug into my camera, WHILE IN THE FIELD (battery operated...)</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/bescor-mx-601-camera-lightx-672atm-battery-watm-038-atm-xr-auto-shut-off-charger#post-50396 Thu, 27 Aug 2009 16:40:42 +0000 Pis4PIR8 50396@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Bescor-MX-601-Camera-Light-X-672ATM-Battery-nrg-frezzi_W0QQitemZ140341214665QQcmdZViewItemQQptZContinuous_Lighting?hash=item20acfcfdc9&#38;_trksid=p3286.c0.m14" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/Bescor-MX-601-Camera-Light-X-672ATM-Battery-nrg-frezzi_W0QQitemZ140341214665QQcmdZViewItemQQptZContinuous_Lighting?hash=item20acfcfdc9&#38;_trksid=p3286.c0.m14</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/i-need-jvc-accesorieshelp-me-1#post-47139 Sun, 24 May 2009 15:44:51 +0000 mikevinckier93 47139@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> i need a 46 mm wide lens for it.......</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/i-need-jvc-accesorieshelp-me-1#post-47097 Fri, 22 May 2009 08:48:42 +0000 cfulton 47097@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>For the lens: find the filter diameter of the camcorder (usually a number with a slashed "O" next to it) or take the camcorder with you to your favorite local camera shop for assistance. The fisheye lens that you need will be marketed as a "conversion lens". You will end up with a lens that screws directly into the camcorder's filter threads.</p> <p>As for the battery, the same local camera shop should be able to get you hooked up; otherwise, there are a number of battery stores in most towns that can also help you track down what you need. There are a few third parties that make batteries, but some camcorder manufacturers will assert that their batteries are better (because they want to be the ones that earn your battery business.) Your mileage may vary.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/i-need-jvc-accesorieshelp-me-1#post-47025 Wed, 20 May 2009 12:02:19 +0000 mikevinckier93 47025@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> </p> <p> i need a fisheye wide angle lens, and a extra battery (prefer 5 hr.). its for my JVC GZ HD7. email me with anything please! </p> <p><a href="mailto:mikevinckier93@hotmail.com">mikevinckier93@hotmail.com</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-should-be-done-to-get-the-most-out-of-a-new-battery#post-44758 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:09:37 +0000 BruceMol 44758@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> HV30 Manual - see p.92</p> <p><a href="http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&amp;tabact=SupportDetailTabAct&amp;fcategoryid=269&amp;modelid=16206#DownloadDetailAct">http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&amp;tabact=SupportDetailTabAct&amp;fcategoryid=269&amp;modelid=16206#DownloadDetailAct</a></p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-should-be-done-to-get-the-most-out-of-a-new-battery#post-44757 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:09:30 +0000 robGRAUERT 44757@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I think dropping batteries is bad for them too, but again...common sense.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-should-be-done-to-get-the-most-out-of-a-new-battery#post-44747 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 12:20:55 +0000 Kelly7189 44747@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Thanks, I appreciate the tips.</p> <p>So if I just use common sense with it I should be ok. I read on a website that it's actually bad to frequently let the battery go completely dead, so I won't let that happen. It sounds like a good idea to take it off when I'm not using it too.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-should-be-done-to-get-the-most-out-of-a-new-battery#post-44743 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 11:34:14 +0000 robGRAUERT 44743@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Good question.</p> <p> Yea, before the first time you use it, you should charge it completely. If it's a lithium ion battery, you do not have to wait for it to die completely to charge it again.</p> <p> If you are not using a battery, store it in an environment that is not too hot or too cold. Just use common sense here, it's not rocket science.</p> <p> If you do not shoot often, do not keep the battery on the camcorder when it's stored. And by "not often," I mean at least 6-months in between shoots, although I never put my camera in my bag with a battery attached. Too many times have I put my camera away and forgot to turn it off.  Fortunately I have a bunch of batteries though...can never have too many batteries.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-should-be-done-to-get-the-most-out-of-a-new-battery#post-44742 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 11:04:48 +0000 Kelly7189 44742@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Is there something I should do with a battery I just bought (haven't used it yet) to maximize it's ability?</p> <p>I heard that you should charge it all the way up, then use it until it's completely dead. Is there something else I should know?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dimmable-led-light-fixtures#post-41466 Fri, 14 Nov 2008 08:00:24 +0000 VinSwit 41466@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Switronix has released the TorchLED Modular Dimmable Light line .

Seriously!</p> <p>I'm a former Boy Scout and I think mini Mags are great!! They are small, light, battery powered, and the top can do amazing stuff: you can screw/unscrew while pointing it at a background for strange background effects(background light), or it unscrews all the way off for a candle like effect(fill light) and obviously makes a great point light. I think you can even get special holders where you can hook it to stuff.</p> <p>Good luck! sounds like fun.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/battery-powered-lighting#post-37538 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:36:13 +0000 ozvideo 37538@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hi!</p> <p> Im going to Bali to make a doco for an aid organisation in Australia.
