CHECK OUT MY GAN EDEN VIDEO CHANNEL!!!! CHEERS!!!

[retnuh2010]

dude awesome setup! i've got a similar looking one on my hf200 with a big ol lens hood, wide angle lens, and an azden directional stereo mic

[CTCarter18]

hey quick Q whats the lens filter size of this camera

[TK42138]

Nice set up!

[John2Johan]

@defnyung I was going to do that, but then i looked the Canon Camorder Mini Hot Shoe to Universal Shoe Adapter on ebay. Which I think GanEdenAustralia used to attach his Rode Mic.

[John2Johan]

Nevermind my last comment.

[John2Johan]

How did you attach your rode video mic ?

[defnyung]

@John2Johan He probably trimmed the bottom of the mic holder. That's what I did with my Azden mic and HG20.

[smacvideo1]

hello love that pistol grip by Sony where did you get that from. tried Amazon could not locate it.

[zatoichi101]

Thank you for uploading this set up!!!! I have a Canon HF S200 and I was really impressed with what you've done!!

I had NO IDEA I could use the Sony GP-TRX LANC pistol grip on this camera!!! I have been wishing Canon would some out with a control grip like ones I have seen with Sony's, and I never imagined that the Sony grip would work with my Canon!

Thanks!!

[GanEdenVideo]

@zatoichi101 I agree.

[JJBfilm]

Hey GEA, Great setup. I do have a question. I am having a problem with the remote control and focusing on my s200. With the hfs100 when I use the remote to focus all I have to do is hold the button down on the remote. It would glide through focus. With the s200 to focus w/ the remote you have to keep pressing the button to focus it works in steps. Do you know if a third party plug in remote would solve this problem. Thanks..

[kaerfirarref]

Hi, I just got an HF S20 and thanks to your review I ordered a Rode videomic pro. Do I need and adapter for them? Thanks so much!

[TheAugustFoX1080P]

Hey man, go on ebay and get a (7" lcd screen tap) with the right hdmi connection ! So when your filming, u no longer have to look at ur little lcd screen. I do (pro short films) with this same model. Let me say its very worth it to have that 7" screen dude. Just type 7" lcd screen on ebay, making sure it has a hdmi acceptance & your rolling. Cheers man.

[GanEdenAustralia]

@TheAugustFoX1080P I use a Lilliput 669GL 7" monitor.

[TheAugustFoX1080P]

@GanEdenAustralia There ya go, didnt see that on this upload, thats why i mentioned it. Good luck on your journey our camera's are awesome. LoL.

[ProvokedArtists]

@GanEdenAustralia So you can run a live feed through the HDMI port while recording???

[GanEdenVideo]

@GanEdenAustralia 665 now actually.

[magetv]

i have a couple of those grips! AWESOME bits of kit! used them with old Hi8 cameras and then with my GL1 and 2...even rigged it for my sony Z1U...but it does NOT work on a DSLR...learned that in the field...great setup you have!! great vid!

[GanEdenAustralia]

@magetv Thanks mate. Would be awesome if they could work with my 600D! Dunno why Canon or Sony can't make them for DSLRs! :) At least they still work on new HD camcorders though with LANC.

[janderson66285]

Does the rode mic connect straight into the canon vixia hf s200? I heard one guy say it didn't and I'm about to buy this canon vixia hf s200 and need to know. help???

[GanEdenAustralia]

@janderson66285 Yes it does.

[Alexdudeguy]

@GanEdenAustralia Not if he's talking about mounting it.

You need an adapter for the shoe in order to mount the Rode Videomic

[KinsTV]

i have been looking for a GREAT wide angle lens for this camera for a while now, does anyone have any sugestions?

because the wide angle this guy has has "fisheye distortion" on it

and i hate fisheye distortion

[fraguzz]

this cam or the old hv20 ? want to shot video like the short films

[sef4lyf]

holy crumpets!!! XD



[GanEdenAustralia]

SUBSCRIBE!!!

[YoureSoFunny]

Hey GanEdenAustralia.....Ummm I have the camera but none of these accessories are these the right stuff for filming short films cause in the video you mentioned it being for skateboarding...and the RODE mic could you also get a longer cord for it to attach it to a boom pole and if you can, would it have to be a RODE boom pole....

[GanEdenAustralia]

@YoureSoFunny Depends on the individual.

[YoureSoFunny]

@GanEdenAustralia I can't find the grip on ebay where did you get yours and for the rode mic do the plugs detach from the mic, I was wanting a longer cord for the boom pole :)

[shapeworkstudios1]

@YoureSoFunny no, it doesn't have to be a rode mic. check out this diy boompole build.

watch?v=83d3qLHaAN4

just build that, but DONT GET THE ADAPTER AT THE END if you want to use ur rode videomic. the rode video mic has a 1/4 threading on the bottom (tripod screw size) so you can just mount that right to the boom pole WITHOUT THE ADAPTER AT THE END!! it should work!!

[shapeworkstudios1]

@YoureSoFunny oh wait!! my earlier respone was wrong!! you would need an adapter!!! just punch this in to google shopping. "ePhoto Tripod Monopod Convert Screw Adapter by ePhoto SAS4F8MB 1/4-3/8"

you need a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter!

[blackdecaymusic]

@YoureSoFunny if you get a RODE mic, get the videomic PRO not the normal videomic.

the PRO is smaller and better. and yes thats very good for short films

[xSBxUltrax]

how do you use the touch screen if the hood is on?

[kodacvisualz]

@GanEdenAustralia where does the LANC cable plug into? AV/OUT ?

[GanEdenAustralia]

@kodacvisualz There's a LANC input behind the LCD section near to the Cards slot.

[kodacvisualz]

@GanEdenAustralia i have a canon vixia m40, i cant find it.. do u know if it has it? lol i must sound really stupid lol... thank you for replying.

[kodacvisualz]

@GanEdenAustralia i guess the canon vixia hf m40 doesn't have LANC input?

[jaitchproductions]

@GanEdenAustralia can u use manual focus on this or is it strait up autofocus? and how do u use the touch screen with the hood on?

[GanEdenAustralia]

@jaitchproductions both

[MichalSmolen]

you somehow made from "mini advanced shoe" normal shoe for Rode mic. I also have HF S200 and I wondering how you did it, please can you tell me?

I would like to have normal shoe for more equipment like light and mic too, but that mini shoe is crap... So how you did it?

[ModernGentlemanMP]

Hey, what lens hood is that? I'm having real trouble finding one for the Canon WDH58 or an 82mm thread lens. Your help would be hugely appreciated, thanks man.

Harry.

[GanEdenAustralia]

@ModernGentlemanMP It came with the Canon WDH58

[pixelsonia]

Thank you for the inpiration.

I just finish my project and have all you got in your video, not the hand grip i didn´t find it but i made a PVC suport tha works great and protect the camera all around.

I will give some images soon.

Thank you for your idea and help. ;)

[sideshowseb]

Nice gear !

[MichalSmolen]

Im also curious, how you solved "small Slot"... And whats name of your lens hood? I want that one too :)

[stichter28]

Hey, I was watching this review and noticed that you've got the zoom h4n in the background. Have you tried using that with this camera? I have the zoom and am looking at buying the canon hf s20. I'd love to know how the two compliment each other.

[GanEdenAustralia]

@stichter28 Never used it with any camera. Would have no idea how to sync the audio to video.

[stichter28]

@GanEdenAustralia I just bought this camera due to this and other great reviews. I hooked my Zoom h4n up straight from the line out on the zoom to the line in on the camera on the right front side. What's nice about this is I can put the zoom h4n in 4 channel mode and use 2 wireless mics as well as the built in mics on the zoom. I also use it to record live music videos. The two work great together for anyone who's wondering.

[pixelsonia]

Hi, is the mini hot shoe for Sony the same as for canon?

On ebay there is a tone for sony but not for canon...

Thank you

[davecochran]

Did you need an adapter ring for the fisheye? I just ordered one with a 58mm thread for mine, I realized after though that it read 68mm on the front. I'd appreciate a reply!

[davecochran]

@davecochran Nevermind, 58mm is the inner diameter

[Poolboyp]

What size is the big Lens hood? If I understood well, it is bigger that the regular (58mm), correct?

[85nco1]

thanks bro i really appreciate it. what editing program do you use?

[GanEdenAustralia]

@85nco1 Premiere Pro CS4 and Vegas Pro 9

[85nco1]

ok cool....and do i need some kind of adapter for the hot shoe? and i use imovie the slow motion is really bad. lol

[GanEdenAustralia]

@85nco1 Yeah you can get the shoe adapter on ebay, one here if you type this number into ebay: 330568046183

[85nco1]

hey nice set up....would you recommend the rode mic? or dm-!00? there about the same price, and does this camera have slow motion?

[GanEdenAustralia]

@85nco1 Videomic definately, No slo-mo on this I dont think, unless I haven't come across it yet (I hate reading manuals)

[davecochran]

@85nco1

The camera can't shoot at different frame rates as far as I know...however, you can adjust the shutter up to 1/1000. If you slow it down (time remap), there is literally no distortion, you need a shit tone of light on your subject though. If you check out my channel, the video titled "I'm not a loser" was me trying out a 1/500 shutter and it looked pretty good.

[GanEdenAustralia]

@davecochran Yes it does shoot at different frame rates. It offers 24p, 30p and 60i.

[davecochran]

@GanEdenAustralia yea, but there's an option on higher end camera to shoot slow motion without post. I think its FPS? I forget what its called exactly.

[WhOaGRLProductions]

VERY NICE! HOW MUCH WERE ALL THESE ACCESSORIES? I have the canon vixia hf 20

[vidjedai]

Sony remote LANC pistol grip, model?

[GanEdenAustralia]

@vidjedai In description

[vidjedai]

@GanEdenAustralia What is the model handles? I like it!

[schooler55]

Can you send me the links to where you got your accessories from? It'd be real helpful if you did! :D

[trentwill83]

how the hell do you get the videomic on the camera? Mine wont fit????

[GanEdenAustralia]

@trentwill83 Shoe adapter for hf models off ebay

[SimonCU]

Can you tell me how to film 4:3 aspect ratio because in default it is 16:9 and I understand it can also do 4:3...Thanks

[GanEdenAustralia]

@SimonCU You'd need to crop it ti 4:3 in an editing program, but why do you want 4:3 when 16:9 is better?

[JoMaVEX]

Thank you for your answer I. I purchsed the lens in Germany, there was not shade in the box. Maybe I can find something on ebay. It seems not such a common thing to get in camera shops.

[JoMaVEX]

I also have a Canon HFS100, DM-100 Mic and WD-58H. Its really great, but I can not find a hood (sun shade) for the Wide angle ens. Where did you get the one shown in your video?

[GanEdenAustralia]

@JoMaVEX The shade was with the lens when I bought it, and I have seen them for sale on ebay separately. I think any lens hood or matte bos that has a 75mm hole will fit it, including those cheap matte boxes on ebay that are from India.

[pixelsonia]

Hi, really nice rig ;)

Where did you find the Sony Grip pistol? I can´t find it on ebay...

Thanx

[finnireviewer]

@pixelsonia lookup LANC pistol grip and you could get something similar to what he has

[mman200]

how do you know which thread size to get?

[DesmosediciAlice]

getting mine tomorrow

[ahua101]

Awesome rig man. Can you zoom in with the wide angle lens attached? Will the edge of the video become softer with the wide angle lens on?

[GanEdenAustralia]

@ahua101 Yes can zoom fully in and out with no vignetting from the hood. Its a great lens. Seen them go for $50 on ebay.

[DesmosediciAlice]

@GanEdenAustralia i love vignett efect, dunno why

[FatCatMedia]

i have a 0.7 widangle lens (58mm back - 82mm front)...however im looking to get a lens hood to fit on the front of it (82mm)...if i attach an 82mm lens hood will it intrude on the footage? please help :D

[GanEdenAustralia]

@FatCatMedia Depends what make the lens is. I have a matte box which has a 80mm hole that slots right over the Canon wide lens and there is no vignetting. I guess its best to try and see really.

[MrE2727]

What size MM is the lens Hood?

[mrwashur1991]

where did you get the mic and the holder? I cant find anything for an advanced mini hot shoe.

[GanEdenAustralia]

@mrwashur1991 The Videomic was off ebay and one here for a 100 bucks type this number into ebay search 170606509599.

The adapter was a cheapo thing from China, again off ebay. Type this into ebay as well: 360345767042

[GanEdenAustralia]

It's a Sony GP-TRX pistol grip with LANC remote control. I got it off ebay. Keeping searching for one under camcorder accessories.

[time2maketime]

Very nice!

I have been looking for a pistol grip like yours and cant find one anywhere. What is the model number? Where should I be looking?

[mortensaks]

Hi :-D

i cant find the WAlens with hood any wear, can you pleace tell me the name/number

Best Regards Morten

[GanEdenAustralia]

@mortensaks Canon WD-58. Quite a few of them on ebay with hoods.

[mortensaks]

@GanEdenAustralia

[TangoSkateTeam]

how did you get the lens hood that was on the camera? did the lens come with it?

[GanEdenAustralia]

@TangoSkateTeam The lens hood was with the wide angle lens. The lens is 80mm wide at the front so any lens hood or matte box that has a clamp will even attach to it.

[DrCassette]

Nice setup! I wonder, do you disassemble everything when you take it somewhere, or do you have a case where you can just put the whole setup in?

Canon has just brought out a camcorder called the XA10. That seems to be a VERY interesting camcorder as well, I'm looking forward to read some tests and reviews about it!

[GanEdenAustralia]

Thank you. For now I do detach the accessories as the case for the camera is big enough just for the camera and wide angle lens only, but they attach very easily. I guess I do have a larger case somewhere I could use that the entire lot could just go into.

As I said in the vide the w/a lens will work with any camcorders as I have attached it to the Sanyo HD1010 I also have and the JVC HD7 and it works flawless with no vignetting or barrelling problems. I have seen them go on ebay as low as $50!
