Panasonic AJ-HPX3000

Panasonic's top of the line camera is a 1920x1080, 10-bit 4:2:2 color sampling beauty. It uses a 2.2 million pixel 3-CCD block and records using the new AVC-intra codec to capture true native 1080p images at 24p, 25p & 30p frame rates. It can also record in DVCPRO HD.

The AJ-HPX3000 records onto the P2 card system of solid state flash memory. With five card slots and using the highest quality AVC-intra 100 codec, five 32G P2 cards will capture 200 minutes of 1080/24p material. Using the AVC-intra 50 codec (similar in quality to DVCPRO HD) yields twice as much recording time. There is a Firewire port as well as USB 2.0 ports and a convenient flip-out LCD screen.

The Chrosziel 203-01 is a follow focus designed for film and video cameras. The unique system allows easy operation from both sides, making it highly accessible in a variety of situations. The follow focus makes critical focus pulling a breeze.

Markings on the focus wheel give about 110-140° of rotation on the lens, spreading the angle to the focus knob by a factor of two. Precision focus pulling cannot only be achieved with remarkable accuracy; it can also be recreated over and over with very little deviation from take to take. The kit comes with all necessary parts, including a removable hand wheel, focus level, and wheel scale.
