Perry, are you perhaps talking about the Canon XH-A1 video camcorder that is still going for around $3,000 online?

It being a prosumer video cam with some fanciful connection capabilities and all that, why on Earth do you need to do dual system sound pick-up with it, using the Zoom H4n flash memory audio field recorder?

Also, I am not at all sure what the advantage of the two handle bar camera support is, as a person usually uses two hands to hold and operate the camera. If you have a single handle bar rig, you could still use your free hand to operate the camera (focus, zoom, iris sound level, whatnot). But when you have both hands tied-up grabbing at two handle bars, who’s running and operating your camera?

BTW, here is a nice rig sold by B&H and made specifically for the Canon XH-A1, although it costs a cool US$9,950.00.

Keep in mind, too, that this “item is non-cancelable and non-returnable.” Ouch, that hurts!
