Great camera

I honestly love the camera. Wasn?t overly challenging to operate, nor was it difficult to handle. The bag was bulky, but that?s the only downside I experienced.

Worth the money. Great ENG rig with SDI.

While it's the best in extreme dark it's fine at night or not best of lighting. The XLR mics jacks are great. The shot gun mic is phanominal its better than the 175 Rode mic i just bought. I curnetly use it to Live stream events like small venue music event;s and sports and weddings. The 4k has great depth of feel. The cameras batteries last a long time. You will have to have a 10 rated SD car. the only thing i would of liked is a better screen. but i am almost 50 so it competes with my Luminx G5. Zoom is great. you have no heat issues. I had the camera plugged up to ac power unit 3.5 hrs strait recording 1080i 60p no issues. Its the work horse for my live streaming company I just shot this event on with this Camera as the main unit. It was local pro wrestling in a gym bad lighting. It handled it like a camp https://vcloud.blueframetech.com/broadcast/embed/113199?fbclid=IwAR1BWtgrweLZI4gLsmhRsgAWcuJV6gxgOBPfak33phTBqFBAeLIfDXUOPM

Great camera

By BRANDON W.

I honestly love the camera. Wasn?t overly challenging to operate, nor was it difficult to handle. The bag was bulky, but that?s the only downside I experienced.

Make your professional videography stand out with the advanced GY-HM180 12.4MP 4K Ultra HD Camcorder. This high-quality, compact camera sets a new standard in the industry with its enhanced recording features and full professional controls.

The heart of this versatile camcorder is its integrated 12x F 1.2-3.5 optical zoom lens (35mm equivalent: 29.6-355mm), delivering stunning 4K Ultra HD video recordings directly to economical SDHC/SDXC memory cards. The 1/2.3" 4K CMOS sensor with 12.4M pixels ensures high sensitivity and excellent performance across a wide range of lighting conditions, resulting in crisp and accurate details throughout the entire image plane.

The GY-HM180 also features a Dynamic Zoom for lossless 24x zoom when shooting in HD mode. This combines optical zoom and pixel mapping to create a seamless and long zoom range, all while maintaining its compact form factor. The convenient ND filter wheel with 0, 1/4th, and 1/16th positions further enhances your control over the image quality.

Recording 4K has never been easier. Simply insert an affordable SDHC or SDXC (UHS-I Speed class 3) memory card into one of the two card slots and record hours of 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) material. You can connect a 4K Ultra HD monitor with a single HDMI cable to view the camera's live 4K signal, or play back recorded files directly from the camera.

The GY-HM180 records 4:2:2 signals up to 60p at 50Mbps, making it an ideal camera for production work. Files are stored in the Quicktime (.MOV) format for easy editing. Conventional AVCHD (4:2:0) recording is also possible, providing wide editing compatibility in an array of standard HD and SD formats.

For those seeking to capture smooth slow-motion footage, the GY-HM180 offers high-speed recording at up to 120fps (1920 x 1080 resolution only). This feature can create incredible artistic effects or assist in sports analysis.

The dual SDHC/SDXC card slots make the GY-HM180 a truly versatile camcorder, offering benefits such as simultaneous recording and relay recording. In relay recording mode, you can shoot continuously and seamlessly over multiple cards. When one card is full, the camcorder switches seamlessly and automatically to the other card. And because cards are hot swappable, there is effectively no limit to the continuous shooting time in any mode, even with lower capacity cards.

In addition to the camcorder, this bundle includes a 32GB SDHC U3 card, a 62mm UV filter, and a cleaning kit to enhance your recording experience. The GY-HM180 12.4MP 4K Ultra HD Camcorder is the perfect tool for capturing high-quality video footage in any professional setting.
