YUK.</p> <p>So I purchased the Panasonic TM700, and it is an awesome camera, shooting the best quality video that I have ever seen.</p> <p> </p> <p>The camera does have some minor annoyances though, and here is my wish list for the next Panasonic upgrade.</p> <p> </p> <p>1.. The "<strong>IA / Manual</strong>" button should be moved to maybe a touch screen button as I shoot mainly in "IA" mode and where it is, its too easy to <strong>accidentally</strong> turn off "IA".</p> <p> </p> <p>2.. The "<strong>Mode Dial Switch</strong>" needs to be strengthened.  Mine <strong>seized up</strong> incurring $250 in repairs.</p> <p> </p> <p>3.. I am used to largish cameras, such as Sony's VX2000 and the FX1e and because the TM700 is so tiny and light I have great difficulty with <strong>shake</strong>, despite its excellent stabilisation feature.  To solve this I purchased a Steady Grip from <a href="http://www.cameragrip.co.uk/acatalog/hague_cs1_camcorder_steadymount.html">http://www.cameragrip.co.uk/acatalog/hague_cs1_camcorder_steadymount.html</a></p> <p> </p> <p>I do love travelling with the tiny cam.</p> <p>I would buy another TM700 despite the above.</p> <p> </p> <p>Happy shooting.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/jvc-mg-132ek#post-66103 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 06:10:53 +0000 shiftyshed 66103@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi there, I had a limited budget and just bought the above off ebay which works great but has no user manual, (I thought  I could get one online to download).</p> <p>Been searching for hours, any ideas?</p> <p>Cheers</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/manual-download-for-juicedlink-cx211#post-61161 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 14:09:48 +0000 XTR-91 61161@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I recently got a great deal on the Juicedlink CX211 xlr adapter and paid nearly half of its retail value for one used.</p> <p> </p> <p>tried Google and Juicedlink.com. Neither of'em provide any information in reference to downloading or purchasing a manual by itself? My question is - where's the download place online in reference to manuals, meaning, where can I get a <strong>free download</strong> for the manual of this product?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/5-follow-focus#post-55474 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 09:52:26 +0000 composite1 55474@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Always on the lookout for innovative workarounds for the indie filmmaker, I came across this video by Matt S for a $5 Follow Focus rig.</p> <p>For those of you unfamiliar with film production, a follow focus is basically a device to help you set focus on manual lenses. Mostly used with prime film production lenses, they can also be used with manual capable video lenses and photographic still lenses. Follow focus is very useful for setting up focus points on your lens so when you're shooting you will already have your points established and won't have to keep guessing where to turn your focus ring.</p> <p>These rigs can cost from several hundred to several thousand dollars, so to find a credible unit for $5 bucks made me crack up. Now for a major shoot using real-world equipment, I wouldn't recommend a $5 FF. But....</p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/9451360">$5 DIY Follow Focus</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/mattsfilms">Matt S</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/manually-zooming-in-servo-mode#post-50708 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 13:56:01 +0000 NathanBlair 50708@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hey, I own a Panasonic AG-HVX200. Somebody asked me this today, and made me curious...</p> <p>With this camera, of course there is a manual zoom mode, which allows free movement of the zoom ring for quick snap-zooms. But also, when you set it to Servo, you are still able to manually zoom with the ring, it's just a little stiffer. The question is, does it harm the mechanics of the zoom lens to operate it by the ring when its set to Servo Zoom mode? </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/movie-edit-pro-tutorial-series-1#post-47124 Sat, 23 May 2009 08:30:39 +0000 Aspyrider 47124@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>If you need help with Movie Edit Pro check out my DVD tutorials: <a href="http://www.jmlmultimedia.com/mmep/index.htm">LINK</a></p> <p>Ã? </p>
