Muchas Gracias, Ricardo.

The Digital/Analog switch is on the top left corner of the back of the mic. It's across from the polar pickup pattern switch.

@@DanChanPiano ah cool! I didnt think of looking at the mic 😅🙌

Words of wisdom. In style or not, a camcorder is still the most capable single component video camera. Judging this book by its cover is short sighted. Glad you came away with something from the video.

When looking at the lens, does it float as demonstrated at 2:00 in the video? If not, there is a problem. If it does, then BOSS is engaged and you're getting the best stabilization the camera offers. You must still make a conscious effort to hold the camera as steady as possible. It will not fully compensate for gross shaking or jerky movements. If you were to record, holding the AX53 and any other non-BOSS, but OIS camera, mounted together side by side, I think the comparison would definitely favor BOSS. Regarding video while kayaking, have a look at my video, "Calm Water Kayaking", ua-cam.com/video/x_6qlwGznp4/v-deo.html Here I demonstrate my use of GoPros along with the AX53. GoPros have their place for wide angle shots, but you must have the ability to zoom with a video camera to get the varied types of shots I need while on the water.

I've never plugged a mic into the 3.5 jack because I use the handle that interfaces with the camera to connect my external mic. I'm traveling at the moment so I won't be able to test my jack to see if I experience what you're getting. I'll see if I can do the test when I get back and reply again.

@@DanChanPiano Thanks so much! no problem at all. I also made a test video here to see if you have the same background/ambient noise (sounds like static or small fan) when filming in quiet environments. This is my first camcorder, so Im not sure if this is normal: ua-cam.com/video/mlvLEXclP4c/v-deo.html Here is a test video with an external microphone (Deity D3 Pro) connected via the 3.5mm input. As you can hear, the ambient/background (preamp) noise is slightly louder compared to the built-in mic: ua-cam.com/video/HQ7cqMY3z7g/v-deo.html

George, you do realize that the nugget shoot is a sponsored planted hunt and a completely different animal from hunting in the wild. They were talking about skipping a year or two and I don't know if another one has happened since 2021. Other than that I don't know of any good spots in the wild except for the usual locals like parks and schools. Contacting Northwest treasure hunters club might be a good start to get information.

Your kind words have made my day! I'm not sure if I quite measure up to your compliments but passing on information and inspiring others is really a form of immortality. Now it is their knowledge and If they continue to pass on, they and a part of you live on in perpetuity.

With camcorders it takes years or even never for manufacturers to refresh to newer models. Very different from the camera market in general. If the video camera serves my purpose, I try not to think in terms of missing out on the latest and greatest. My advice to anyone who used to play music or used shoot video or used to do something else is take that guitar, camera or exercise machine and sit it out right there in everyday plain sight. You'll pick it up and start fiddling with it. It tends to renew your interest and before long it becomes a routine and you'll advance from where you were before.

I appreciate your kind words and for watching my videos. Thanks DR.

I've never used it in your situation, but I would think the ability to focus in on the horn section or go wide for the larger group would be a plus. If you went manual you could also adjust record input , watch the meter for clipping and get the right recording volume in a loud environment.

grazie, apprezzo le tue parole. I myself have been giving more thought to life without electricity. Our enemies could easily attack and take down the grid. It is not unwise to at least prepare for a few weeks of self sufficiency.

The video proves him wrong. The Raynox has 62mm male threads and the x2000's filter mount has 62mm female threads. Nothing proprietary here.

@@DanChanPianothanks for the reply. I told the tech I saw your video and you were using the extender. Thanks again!!!

Thanks! Glad you liked it. I've always liked how each sentence in the lyrics has so few words but says so much.

@@DanChanPiano Yes, it's a wonderful old song. I like that there's a haunting melancholy hiding under its musical structure that juxtaposes the happy lyrics. I think you've captured all of its magic with this performance. Well done!

Glad to pass something useful on.

My camera retains all user settings after battery changes. I shoot the AX53 in 4k@30fps. For a test and reference, give that setting a go and see if you get the return to default. This would be telling. At least you would know it's a condition of your res/fps setting. If you're stuck with having to change back each time , you could look at it on the positive side. A quick check of all settings before shooting prevents errors. BTW I enjoyed your channel.

Thanks. I was already in XAVC S 4K@25fps but just tried re-setting to XAVC S 4K@25fps by: File Format>XAVC S 4K> OK..executing...and it seems to stick on Active now, even when removing the battery! Here's to hoping the setting sticks with a longer battery removal. Not quite sure what's caused this. I may have as you suggest unknowingly had some other setting changed or Mode, that prevented retention of the Active Stabilisation. Once again, thanks for your video.@@DanChanPiano

See my video Triton Trailer Re-deck here. ua-cam.com/video/noRlqY8hOhc/v-deo.html You'll see how I put my cargo box on the trailer's existing tongue. It's a great use of unused trailer space to contain, protect and carry gas cans, the spare and more. It doesn't affect turning radius going forward but will it will contact the truck if I jackknife in reverse.

You're welcome and glad to have passed on something you found useful.

Patches? Not sure what you mean.

You're welcome Dave and thanks for the compliment. The final product is what matters, not how it was arrived at. Consumer gear in the right hands can look great or not and pro equipment makes little difference in the hands of those lacking technique. When admiring beautiful artwork no one wonders what type of brush was used to paint it.

"Seems like they deliberately made things awkward." Who knows what evil lurks in the minds of camera manufacturers? Planned obsolescence, missing features that just happen to be included on the next model up with upgrades that we just can't live without. $$$$$$ Marketing and engineering work hand in hand for companies to keep selling and make profit. It's the way of business. It's the way of the world. We as consumers need to keep on being consumers and there's no use fretting about it. At least that's what I try to tell myself when I get a case of buyer's regret. I've found that with most consumer products, I need to resist the temptation to immediately upgrade. If you wait for a few versions to come out, you'll usually see the features you want and maybe even a price break. At some point, you have to bite but just know there will always be something bigger and better on the horizon.

@@DanChanPiano Just to confirm, that I meant to say the font size on the display is "tiny". I do have glasses, but only for reading labels, and I refuse to put them on to see the display info. Sony upset me further by trying to mislead me into thinking I would need a new remote control. I wanted to know if the remote from the XR500VE would still work with the AX53, and they kept saying "it is not compatible". The remote works PERFECTLY (every button). I was wise to wait and find out. I don't expect to get lied to when I call these companies, but sadly it seems to be normal now.

Installed Rear anti-sway bar and Timbrin bump stops. Air bags would do a better job.

It's a fine camper and still glad we went with it. Just know that the living space is a camper and not a trailer. Bathroom door is a squeeze even for a not too fat guy. Hallway is a squeeze for two people to pass each other. We stay out of each others way by one sitting at the table or laying in bed while the other works. There are stairs to climb up and down lots of times. You have to crawl in and out of bed and make the bed up while laying on it. Don't know your age or dimensions but elderly might not tolerate these things well. These issues are not specific to NL campers, but all cabovers in general.

Thanks Pat. That info is sure to be helpful to someone.

As a kind master, I set you free to shoot great video.

@@DanChanPiano I will take advantage of your effective suggestions, among other things I own a Panasonic HC-X1500 video camera and I would like to learn how to use it best. Thanks again.
