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://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/sony-hdr-fx1-help#post-49455 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 23:04:06 +0000 daryldrj 49455@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I have an FX1 and I agree a beachtek and rode mic are the way to go. Light I just use my light I got from Sony, and as for batteries I bought the largest Sony makes for the FX1 cant remember the number right now but I can shoot off of that all day.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/sony-hdr-fx1-help#post-49439 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 06:58:48 +0000 gottsnow21 49439@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>thanks!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/sony-hdr-fx1-help#post-49371 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 09:14:46 +0000 TDedmonSBP 49371@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Beachtek all the way for the xlr...they even have units made specifically to work with the FX1. 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://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/sony-hdr-fx1-help#post-49368 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 07:39:38 +0000 gottsnow21 49368@http://www.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://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hdr-fx1-used-under-1400-or-hdr-fx7-new-what-would-you-buy#post-45979 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 06:46:35 +0000 HDDrew704 45979@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Thanks for the feeback guys.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hdr-fx1-used-under-1400-or-hdr-fx7-new-what-would-you-buy#post-45973 Sun, 19 Apr 2009 21:55:24 +0000 daryldrj 45973@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have the FX-1 and I like it.

I am looking to learn the art to eventually complement my wife in her photography business. This camera would transition to be a second camera eventually (fixed shooter at weddings). Any guidance will be highly appreciated.  -HDDrew704</p>
