 Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here in today's video I'm going to be taking you on a quick virtual chopping tour through Amazon to show what kind of aftermarket accessories In the lens realm you can buy for the Canon XA40 pro camcorder Lot of this is going to be applicable to the XA45 50 and 55 Because it's the same diameter of lens 58 millimeters But as some some things will be less relevant So firstly if you're just looking for a bunch of accessories to get you going you will find on Amazon these kind of Sort of you know all in one kits if you will they're going to give you an LED light They're going to give you an extra battery. That's the B P8 to 8 battery. You're going to get a few things to try to help get you started I don't think there's anything wrong with these. I just personally prefer to pick up my own accessories. So When you have a fixed lens camcorder like the XA40 a lot of people think there's nothing you can do regarding adding things to the lens And it's not the case So if you search for XA40 and you start for let's say telephoto lens what you will find are these Things that kind of attach. So here is an example of a product from Vivitar. It's at $20. It's very cheap So you might be able to find better ones on the market This is actually a two-piece product that has a telephoto and a wide-angle lens and these are screw-in aftermarket lenses They just screw on to the lens on the XA40 but you're going to have to take off the lens hood Right, so you don't want to take off this lens hood firstly And then you can screw on your aftermarket lenses now another way to search for Products that will work in the realm of lens filters lens filters is to just use the diameter So it's a 58 millimeter lens. So you can search for for instance 58 millimeter UV filter And you'll find here an awful lot of different UV filters that will screw in to 58 Millimeter cameras and these literally just screw over the fixed lens the Canon They don't need to say they're specifically working for the XA40 once you've got the millimeter right in my experience They work just fine So you've got different ones at different price points the other type of lens filters You might be interested in you can also find these in the 58 millimeter range is CPL filters Circular polarizing filters is what that stands for and you can see there's more expensive ones for 50 bucks and Cheaper ones for 20 bucks and you can read the product reviews to decide Which is best for you if you want to use a type of lens filter ND filters so the some of the XA40s I think the 50 and the 55 have built-in lens ND filters not the case for the XA40 Although I think there might be something digital there But if you want to use a physical ND filter You can buy one for 58 millimeter cameras and this one is 3211 stop So this will fit right over screw on to the camera And you'll be able to use a variable stop and a variable stop ND filter for over exposing the camcorder in bright conditions Or an easier way to explain it is it's like sunglasses for your camcorder Finally macro lenses are a thing you can pick up as well And these would be useful if you're shooting, you know, perhaps nature stuff you want to get really up close But you don't want to 58 I'm missing a seat here. That's why nothing relevance coming up And you can see here for instance, these are again, it's really really cheap. It's a four Sets four different strength the magnification two times four times Sorry plus two plus four plus eight and plus ten and these will screw into the screw over the Actual lens of the camera and you'll be able to if you're looking to do photography So these are look like they're only for you know different products But these are my experience I've used them with my other Canon camcorder and they work just fine Finally, just while I'm pointing out 58 millimeter step Downring so there's also these products that if you have some lens filters lying around the place And they're just not the right size for your Canon XA40 You can also find step up and step down rings. In fact, you can just buy them in a big set like this So for instance, one of these here would be 58 to 55 millimeters So if you have a 55mm lens, you can attach firstly the 58mm to the Canon XA40 And then attach this and then you'll put a 55mm lens filter on the other side and that will work I think it's better having one of the right diameter because sometimes these can be a little bit tricky to get off the lens So that's about it in terms of lens filters and aftermarket lenses you can buy for the XA40 If there's a particular one you've bought and you can recommend, please let me know in the comment section.
