They have been specifically designed for the new
breed of professional MiniDV camcorders such as
the Sony PD170, Canon XL1 and Panasonic DVX100. They will work with virtually any 1 or 3 chip MiniDV
camcorder available.
The light weight of the unit allows it to be used with inexpensive light duty tripods. The units set up
quickly with its patent pending mirror assembly with 60/40 beamsplitter glass. Our Ultra-Clear glass is the best glass available for shooting HD and features
a low impurity glass for sharp, distortion free images.
The DV-9 prompters can even be taken off the tripod
and used handheld to give stunning moving shots.
The DV-9 is also light enough to be used on jib arms
for fantastic moving shots. It can also be with a 12V battery for use outside. A car cigarette lighter adapte
