Looks good. It looks like a nice size as well. I find my HVR-A1 tends to be too small for my hand, and as such, I can't grip it very well.

Yes the HVR-A1 is rather too small in some ways but they are very nice units all the same :)

Excellent... I have a TRV950 so I should not be looking at one of these.. but the XLR inputs would be good..

So this is just the more pro model of the TRV950 if I'm correct? Also have you looked into getting a tapeless recorder? Like a DN60, or an MRC1? Save your tape heads and money on tapes

Yes it is indeed. Yer I’m going to have to at some point. Also seem to be so over priced but at some point I’ll just have to take the hit haha.

Great video mate! I just picked one up off ebay and looking forward to mucking about with it. Do you know what frame-rate it shoots at? I'm assuming 60p? Thanks for making such helpful videos! Cheers.

It’s a lovely little pro unit. Yours a NTSC unit? If so yes I believe it is. Once you capture video from it on a computer it will show in the video information anyways 👍

@@epicchris1985 it'll be a pal unit as it's coming from the UK, but either way I look forward to the creative possibilities of the camera. Would you say it's up there with the PD150/70? Footage on KZitem looks reasonably comparable! Cheers again for the vids! 🎥🎥🎥

Is that lens hood removable? does it have thread to attach say a wide angle lens to it?

Hi. Yes you can take off the hood and could fit filter or wide lens that I’m sure they probably made available at the time.

Has your one broken then? They are great units. Depending on if you want to stick with SD or go to HD? If you wanted to move to HD the Sony FX7 is a great upgrade as not much bigger and great microphone and picture quality in good lighting 👍

@@taptapkingvideo5883 yes it’s a DVCAM version. I did buy one at some point but had to return as was faulty and sold as fully working so wasn’t impressed. It’s a rather rare unit it seems. Ohh just checked I had the PD175, but yes was a DVCAM camera that sadly didn’t take a tape anymore so return it.

Do you know the biggest Memory Stick the video camera can use? And have you perhaps found an microSD-MemoryStick-adapter which would work in the camera? I do not believe Memory Stick Pro cards nor adapters would work with it. I too have found the same old video camera (from this storage facility) and wonder how easiest to transfer recorded videos from it to a PC. Also I have only one mini-DV casette and rather would use memory sticks. The optics of the camera is well beyond usual USB web cameras, so quite useful although has only SD-resolution. (Oh, nevermind, I noticed it can use only 320x240 resolution when recording video to a memory stick. Have to get it connected with Firewire then, with 3 adapters like in kzitem.info/news/bejne/qHeJr6mOap-iqno )

Yes indeed in the rare case when these old units can record video to a card the picture is terrible lol. Defo want to film on tape then use FireWire output as I do.
