Kool looking rig Joseph.

But I don't think you need to wedge a UV filter between the WD-H43 and the camera. The wide angle itself becomes in effect one huge UV filter and you may get some weird reflections/CA using both. You may also want to look into a shock mount for that mic, first to cut down handling noise, and second, it's easy to knock the mic out of a holder like that.

Either way, enjoy! It looks great.

thanks peter. you're right about the uv being sandwiched in between causes reflections so i will be taking it off when the wide angle is on.

agree on the shock mount and will be purchasing the same Rode setup as yours.:hv20-smilie03: but right now i do interviews/testimonials and set up the client w/ a lav mic instead of a camera mounted mic. pretty much the atr25 is sort of a dummy mic to give the hv20 a little more mojo. i use the cool-lux dual mic mount because i also use a go prompter which helps clients w/ their lines. missing the dvx's pro look, i needed some accessories to disguise the hv20 consumer look. i wanted to move into HD and the HV20's quality is perfect for my needs. my partner owns an hvx200 so we do our projects in HD and unfortunately looks can come into play so we don't want the client's first impression of the HV20 to be questionable. so far so good. but at the end it's how the final footage looks what counts...which matters to us and the happy client. HV20 rocks!:hv20-smilie09:
