  • Have you upgraded your HPX170 for PAL capability?

    I am considering the Panasonic upgrade to enable my HPX170 the ability to switch to PAL (50Hz). Has anyone done this? If so, how long did it take? Any technical problems? Any new business gained? Was it worth the cost? Thank you.

    Do you ever need to shoot PAL?

    Yes, but not often. Had a job several months ago and rented a HPX500 for that. Worked well. This client will likely be using me for PAL again.

    My market does have international broadcast clients based here and visiting so I am hoping to be able to capture some of that business. Before I alter my camera I would like to hear from others who may have done this to see if there are any problems and considerations.

    Thank you.
