Recommended Additional Video Camera
Kevin Seale, Photographer
Crawfordsville | IN | United States | Posted: 6:56 PM on 04.03.10
->> I am looking to add a couple of additional video cameras to provide fixed position 2nd and 3rd angles to combine with video captured with an XH A1 primary camera. From what I have read, the HV40 seems to be my preference at this point but am looking for any input others might have.

Applications would range from sporting events to weddings.

Thanks in advance for any input.

->> Thanks Clay and Peter.

From what I can find, the HV40 is just the latest version of the HV20/30 family and appears to actually be cheaper than the other two models. If I am missing something please let me know.

Peter, is the color temperature variation significant or is it subtile and fixable via PP? I run into that when trying to mix video from a 5D and the XHA1 so if it is a similar sort of variation I can deal with that.

Thanks again and have a good Sunday.

->> HV40 is just the updated version. I think someone told me the sensor may have been improved. You can fix the color temp in post, here's an example of my last two camera shoot with a Z1U and a HV20:
