Several hours of shooting are possible with this pack, which holds 2 genuine Sony NP-F970 batteries, renowned for their high reliability.

This LANC remote controller can be connected to a tripod’s pan handle for convenient control of zoom, focus, and record start/stop. Using the rocker switch to select either slide-wheel zoom or zoom speed, it is easy to perform the sort of slow zooms that are tricky using the camcorder’s own controls.

This mid-spreader tripod can be used in a variety of situations. Supplied as standard are the RM-1BP remote controller and rubber/spike feet so that the tripod can be used both indoors and outdoors.

This sturdy yet soft carrying case is ideal for carrying your HDV camcorder. It will accommodate the HVR-V1U even when equipped with the standard microphone, and it still has room for such accessories as the wide conversion lens and battery charger. Also, the interior is a vivid yellow color, making it easy to find cables, lenses, etc. in low-light situations. Case dimensions comply with standard carry-on regulations for international air flights.

This hood is designed to be used when you want to improve the visibility of the LCD monitor of HVR-V1U, or when you want to prevent light from the LCD monitor leaking out to the surroundings, as when shooting a classical music concert in a darkened hall. It is designed to fold up while still attached to the monitor, so it can also serve as an LCD cover when in transit.

These accessories are specially designed for professional use, enabling you to make the most of the HVR-V1U and enjoy even better results.

Designed exclusively for use with the HVR-V1U, this high-definition 0.8x wide conversion lens enables you to shoot wide-angle footage with a focal length of 29.9mm (35mm equivalent). The bayonet joint makes it easy and quick to mount and remove this lens from the HVR-V1U. And since you can switch field angle almost instantly, you are better prepared to capture those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. The VCL-HG0862K professional model is supplied with a rectangular lens hood as standard. Remove the lens hood and you can attach a standard 86mm filter, so you are free to apply filters to your wide-angle shots.

Using LED as a light source has the advantages of high intensity (600lx, 1m), extended life (10,000 hours), and low power consumption (16w).

The HVL-LBP is designed to provide the optimum spread for wide-angle shooting with the HVR-V1U: it illuminates with uniform intensity right across the field of view. Using the attached condensing lens, you can concentrate light in the center of the picture. The attached diffuser makes it possible to soften shadows and reduce contrast.

To power the LED light you can use the same L Series batteries(NP-F970/770) that are used for HVR-V1U, making this accessory as cost-effective as it is useful. It can be operated for about 3 hours with the NP-F970 battery. When the HVL-LBP is attached to the cold shoe of the camcorder it is possible to use the battery adapter to achieve a good weight balance for the camcorder.

If you use the VCT-1BP, hybrid operation becomes easier using the HVR-DR60 and without losing any mobility. In addition to the HVR-DR60, you can attach the battery adapter for HVL-LBP or the wireless microphone receiver. The point of attachment can move, so the accessory can be locked in whatever position is most convenient. You can mount the VCT-1BP to the tripod by screw.
