Wow, I really appreciate all the input!

So if I’m following the open face light idea, I should go for that Arri kit or something similar but do the Chimera with a light like this:

Thanks Todd. That’s kind of what I’m looking for.

I also found some Arri kits that were around 2000 which had three to four lights (and came with a softbox). Are Arri light kits a good bet as well?

Mark, my request list was probably more to check if anyone has seen a combo kit that has a good LED and Tungsten package combined. Mostly it’s just interview lighting I need. Then if the lights can double for some simple shots of interior spaces, that’s what I’m hoping for. Renting is too costly over and over as we’ve been doing that. A good kit in a relatively compact case (with wheels!) will save us some time and money.

As far as your wish list…can’t help you, but I wish you luck. But I’m not sure Heather will be into the oil and engine hoist combination and whatever you have in mind there 😉

I have a GY-HD100 and capture with a JVC BR-HD50. Don’t know how much that deck costs, or even if it’s still made, as it was included in the camera deal purchased by my organization back in 2005.

I personally use Sony DVM60PRR tapes with my camera, and haven’t had any problems with them. I don’t know if other tapes would give better results but again, no problems with these.

Anyone have success with this?

GY-HD100 and capturing HDV footage without losing sync — into Premiere Pro either through a deck or the camera?

Thanks!

I don’t have FCP, but when trying to get HDVSplit to capture from my HD100, I had to go into the camera VTR menu and change the output to HDV (as opposed to Auto settings).

Also, don’t know if HDVSplit works on Macs, but it’s a great capture utility for the JVC HDV.
