Thank you!

[Croaker]

I wanted to come out of lurking and give out a sincere thank you to all the members of this forum without which I would never have learned the value of this incredible little camera. Or became an owner.

And especially,

Thank you 'net' for posting the Meijer.com sale and 'Taky' for the 10% off tip. I paid $704 with express shipping. I get my HV30 Friday the 14th.

Thank you 'Erik Bien' for your advice on the Velbon UP-4DX II Unipod.

Thank you 'stactum', 'Bill Strehl', and 'Taky' for the tip on Blue Nook for the cheap 24 battery and charger.

Thank you '24Peter', 'PWHerman', and 'kaidomac' for your reviews, views and recomendation of the Merkury wide angle lens.

I hope that I will be able to give back even just a portion of what I've gained in knowledge and savings from this forum and it's members in the past 2 weeks.

Hi, Croaker, and welcome to the forum!

(And yes, in the world of camcorder accessories it's rare to get more than you pay for, but I think the Velbon one-legger fits that description!)

Croaker...on behalf of this forum....your welcome.

Although I apparently did NOTHING to help you, I still thank you for your thank you! :)

Glad to have you on-board!
