I hadn't seen this site before today but Googled for LED light information for video and as I specified more and more found this post. VERY helpful! I find myself to lean more to the artistic and more away from the technical, so knowing what I'm capable of doing with my equipment is great. (I have the HV40 as I mentioned, which I love, but am always coveting bigger rigs, but it shoots too well to just upgrade for no reason other than aesthetics). Oh, and thanks for showing off the rig.

I'm an aspiring filmmaker myself. I recently bought a SONY HDR SR-10 camcorder. So am looking for the accessories and part that I can add on the camera to get ready for my ametuer shooting. I liked the matte box that you ordered from India. What is the model and specification of that matte box? And how did you contact them. Can you give me their email or phone number? I want to contact them directly. Thanks for all the information that you post online for FREE. You're great. Khampa Hey Mat,

Has anyone tried the Beachtek with a handheld or lapel mic? I find you can't take the cable more than a few feet without AC hum getting into the audio. Has anyone tried using a Beachtek XLR adapter with a longer mic cable, or tried connecting one into an AC powered mic-level mixer?
