i dont own an hv20\30, but its cool to see it all.
would like to see more general tips as well ... :]
keep it up, buddy! :]
The last I looked the xh-a1 didn't come with a rail system, 35mm lens, shoulder mount, tripod, etc. :-)
When you compare the HV30 to the xh-a1 the price is significantly lower for the HV30... I guess if you didn't want or need a tri-pod, raile system, 35mm lens, shoulder mount...etc.... then... I would agree he could have gotten the xh-a1 camera (only) at a fraction of the cost. However, if you were to add the 35mm lens, tripod, rail system, shoulder mount, etc. to the xh-a1 then there would be no savings.
I am comparing stock xh-a1 to hv30+the useless expensive stuff added to it.
1) Change the Energizer to a 12VDC battery. This will rid you of the AC adapters and lamp cords. You do not need to be an electrician to make this work.
2) Move the component adapter, XLR adapter and anything else you can to the back of the rig. This will balance out the glass at the front. The fulcrum should be the top of your shoulder. I wouldn't trust the XLR adapter as my mount point to the tripod... too flimsy.
