  • HVX 200 Batteries & tape

    Posted by Jim on February 1, 2006 at 10:12 pm

    It’s Christmas here in Chicago, I just got my HVX 200. No doubt I will be spending the next week reading the Op manuel to try and get a handle on the spate of menus.

    In the meantime, I will need a few more batteries. Are the CGA-D54SE/1B the largest(longest running time) that will fit in the camera (without extra adapters), and who has them in stock and at a good price.

    Regarding DV shooting,I have heard stories about different tape stocks (dry lube vs wet lube)are there any validity to these stories. Can anyone recommend the best stock to use. It looks like my first shoot with the camera will be DV. (The second will be HD, but we take these things one shoot at a time)

    Thanks all for your insights.

    Go to DVXuser.com for batteries.

    I would use only Panasonic MQ tapes
