I was hoping you'd address the cable issue! I've been loving the powerplay otherwise on my gl2! Thanks again for the hard work!

With each winter that passes and the XM2 is on the shelf I worry that this year might be it's last. There is hope here though for sure but whether or not I will resort to this we shall see. You're doing gods work btw keep it up

Great Stuff!!! Been having so much trouble trying to find vx1 head drums!!! But this....... ohhhhhhh boy....

Great project. If you overheat cables, you change the capacitance, hence signal will be affected. Try wrapping a video cable over a hot radiator or pipe. You should see the signal degrade. It might also restore once it cools down.

I'm gonna look into it!

I also made a vx1e that is tapeless!

I got a powerplay and I get audio and a clear signal with the 3.5 jack pugged in all the way. I'm using a vx 2100.

I just ended up using the stock mount that came with the powerplay, and hotglued a hotshoe fitting to the back.

do you just push play on the camera or on the dvr module

Does the 3D mold work on GL1s aswell??

hey i bought a pd150 today and was thinking of doing exactly the same things, any update?

Have you had the problem: the PowerPlay is getting distorted color on the VX1? Im baffled. I just got my hands on one and now the video signal is messed up (colors, exposure). I plugged the RCA and AV in according to how you show it.... hmmm

Hey guys what’s difference between using 3.5 rca female/male and 3.5 av cable?

does the powerplay dvr work with the canon xh a1? and if so, you think there are any big quality differences?

It should work with any camera that has an AV output connection available

If you could consider selling the Mounts and Cables I think a lot of us would be interested in buying.

^ what he said

I have the Canon GL2 and have tried to connect it using firewire to 3 different Macs of different ages, and I can NOT get it to work. DO you have any suggestions? I love this mod you created and I watched the other videos too. I would just love to be able to at least copy over my old recordings. Any input would be appreciated!

I guess the firewire port on the camera might be broken? You can put the tapes in any other miniDV camcorder to transfer without affecting the quality - so id try that next

There is a setting to turn off the icons. Hit the Menu button, got to ETC, go to display, and just click lcd. It should only display the icons on your lcd and not thru the power play or whatever you have plugged into the av ports.
