Hi Mariana!(posted 9213 days ago)Just a quick echo of what Ted Jameson said about Optex. He didn't give their website address, though, so here it is:
http://www.optexint.com/
They do all kinds of enhancements for the XL-1 and they're also manufacturers of equipment for the movie industry in general, so the quality is good. They also sell complete shoot and edit packages based on the XL-1 and the FAST DV Master video board. Worth checking out.
Follow the "DV Products" link from their home page. They have agents in the US, who are listed on the site.
If the purchase price is too high for you, you may be able to rent the kit rather than buying it.
Hope this helps.
Peter
