Mine arrived yesterday and so far not overly blown away. I had 'assumed' it would be touch af and face tracking at this price point. Great looking, great build and I'm sure the footage will look great too, but I suspect I'll be using it as a static cam for events only now.
That is one serious camera! With everything you get the price seems very reasonable as well. Looking forward to see some footage from this awesome camera. Great video Dave.
Excellent presentation, even more so when you consider that the presentator speaks English with a very good understandable accent. He obviously had just thoroughly bathed, his clothes, and indeed the whole environment are spotless clean. 3 thumbs-ups.
Would this be good for railfanning? Looking to step up my video game. I would be filming mostly in daylight but something that can handle late dusk shots. Recommendations? Thanks!
Is there a special version of this camera that has the clear plastic window over the controls? I’ve been eyeballing this camera for a while but I like the clear plastic over no plastic
Have you filmed anything in the sky with it,I film mainly Common Buzzards in the sky and sometimes track them for at least 25 seconds it’s 3 times the weight of my Sony FDR-AX53,can it be shoulder mounted as I’ve an illness that affects my muscles were they become easily tired.
it was a decent unboxing of the camera unit. You did a decent enough of a job showing some of the features and showed us all of the buttons and features on the exterior of the camera. It would have been nice seeing some actual footage filmed with the camera in use along with some of the basic settings as part of the demo. Overall it was a decent unboxing, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a review and is definitely NOT a demo... I'd like to see a real review and a real demo of the camera's abilities, features and settings. It's a bit frustrating because there are literally dozens of "unboxing videos" of this unit... many of them are garbage, some are barely ok. But the point is, there are already dozens of unboxing videos of this unit. I'd like to see video footage and demos filmed by this unit. I have seen several videos,
@@geekanoids that's a DSLR I'd I'm not mistaken? I'm debating between camcorders and DSLRs for low light concerts. What are your thoughts on Panasonic AG CX350?
Hello Geeknoids, After almost 3 years with this camera...what's your thoughts?? Was it worth the extra money?? Did you use a lot the extra features? The 4K capabilities? Is it still a good buy in Dec 2019? What you'd say is the best environment for this camera?
Nice review! I'm wondering how this compared to my XT3 and XH1 in terms of video quality?I need something large for my shoulder as my mirrorless are very small
And while you are recording I can touch the screen to give some type of adjustment without making some noise such as a (beep) that damages the recording in audio?
Remember 4K cameras need special edit software that is not always available the "final cut software " that is required is no longer available one that you can use is Premier pro this is one of the few edit suites that will work with 4K also cyberlink power director .
Nice video, Dave! I am evaluating the Panasonic AG-UX180 and the Canon xf400. Are you still satisfied with the camera? How has the screen performance been outside?
I could prefer this HC-X1 over Panasonic HC-X1500, which by the way is very good camera, but sensor is too small. So watching test footage, even after RUclips compression you can clearly see the difference between these 2 models. This HC-X1 with 1 inch sensor produces more rich and deep contrast image. So awakens a question, that even though HC-X1500 have 10bit internal recording , but is it really capable to produce a true HDR with its small half inch sensor?
Is this better than the dji pocket 3 now you can take the Pocket 3 anywhere and no one see it but want something more better to film on. but this still £800 used . also SONY FDR AX100 is about the same
Thanks... I wonder... can you create custom picture profiles? I know there are 5 presets but wondered if you can play with your own adjusting gamma, matrix colors etc? Ed
I have looked at this camera - if only the JVC GY-HM200 had the same size sensor as this and the 20:1 zoom! I want the live streaming capability that the GY-HM200 offers, but also the benefits that this camera offers. I think though for now, the live streaming capability is worth more to me.
Thanks, I am interested in a GH5 but I live in the middle of nowhere in bavaria, I can't find a demo device to test. I need some sample footage on a card shot in 3840x2160p50/60 but I need the complete files and folders on the card. I need also to test my NLE what happens with splitted MP4/MOV files of a long continuous shot. (>96 GB or Fat32 formatted sdhc or split on different cards) -> Can you please do a sample shot of a random object and upload sample files somewhere like google drive? If you don't have a GH5 laying around, a test with a fat32 formatted sdhc in a gh4 will also do, to test the splitted files in my NLE. Please help me :)
Can't seem to find out how to do it. I want it to autofocus for example I walk up to s bride and it focuses even though I have my hands full holding a gimbal. How do I set it up to do that? Step by step
Hi Thank you for excellent video, Please do you know what memory card you can use for 4k recording for this camcorder, does it has to be V90 II class 10 U3 or V30 I Class 10 U3, I will be grateful if you help me with this answer. Regards Ali
Hey there i am very impressed so far but can't wait see the filming footage of awesome camera!!!! :) See been looking for camera use in my INDIANA JONES FAN FILM going be doing very soon and want a camcorder do really close up shoots with amazing results!!!!! :) I am currently working on the story and hope have teaser trailer up and have INDY trailer sent Kick Starter.com hope get backers will support me and will hope reach my to make this happen!!!!!!:) And so how much would this run to get professional camcorder from panasonic company ?
Dave .. the Panasonics are better designed , by the fixed lens cap ,not like the jvc hm170 and hm200 , I don't like the flip outs on jvc which looks like they are going to snap off , Panasonic is the business , I think prestons are the best.. going back years the only place gave good deals was prestons.. good luck to you..

I hope you enjoy your new cam.
Great unboxing, thanks. I'm just on the verge of buying this camera for work so I'll stay tuned for your updates - keep 'em coming. Best.
I returned Neil. Wrong battery supplied. Panasonic support was bad. Also a little noisy on video quality.
whats that? did you not keep it? any more info on that?
My screen cuts in and out. is that cause of the battery? Is that what yours was doing?
That is one serious camera! With everything you get the price seems very reasonable as well. Looking forward to see some footage from this awesome camera. Great video Dave.
Incoming soon :D
Loved it and it takes a lot of energy and effort to serve the community. Thanks heaps 🙏🏻
Many thanks.
Excellent presentation, even more so when you consider that the presentator speaks English with a very good understandable accent. He obviously had just thoroughly bathed, his clothes, and indeed the whole environment are spotless clean. 3 thumbs-ups.
Thanks for your kind comments.
Damn, that's some serious kit Dave!
Thanks Brandon … heavy for vlogging ;D
Yeah Dave , well good,
I have the ux180 you want to make sure that your external mic is short as on wide zoom it can be seen.
Thanks for sharing this.
That looks a serious bit of kit nice one Dave. Happy Christmas and New Year.
Cheers, Happy Christmas and New Year to you too :D
Would this be good for railfanning? Looking to step up my video game. I would be filming mostly in daylight but something that can handle late dusk shots. Recommendations? Thanks!
If you are ok with the size and features it should work fine.
Sorry for asking so much, but I have always had dslr cameras and it's my first time with this type of camera.
Is there a special version of this camera that has the clear plastic window over the controls? I’ve been eyeballing this camera for a while but I like the clear plastic over no plastic
I think there was, but cannot remember that far back.
At 5:26 what is that little bump above the USB3 and to the right of the viewfinder? Looks like it has a thread point.
Sorry I no longer have this to check.
@@geekanoids Oooh is it still worth buying or is there a successor?
what an excellent xmas pressie! ty for sharing. happy new year.
:D thanks Simon, Happy New Year to you too :D
Excellent Dave. Now we just need a comparo between the Panasonic and a phone for a real world ... what you get for your money.
Will do Brian :D
Have you filmed anything in the sky with it,I film mainly Common Buzzards in the sky and sometimes track them for at least 25 seconds it’s 3 times the weight of my Sony FDR-AX53,can it be shoulder mounted as I’ve an illness that affects my muscles were they become easily tired.
Sorry I no longer have this.
Geekanoids can it be shoulder mounted.
its been a long time that you have reviewed a camera
I know, exciting times ahead :D
A great camera there Dave, I have a love of Panasonics video recorders, some of the best out there in my opinion.
Cheers Bob :D
And thanks a good man for the information, like your video and subscribed to your channel, and greetings from Puerto Rico.
:D many thanks.
Merry Christmas My Man... 🎄🌲

hi. what kind of card you used here,for 4k?...speed? thanks
Hey! Awesome review. What camera do you recommend for more in door venue concerts with low lights and a lot of lasers/visual effects on stage?
Many thanks. Sony A7III is great in low light.
@@geekanoids that's a DSLR I'd I'm not mistaken? I'm debating between camcorders and DSLRs for low light concerts. What are your thoughts on Panasonic AG CX350?
The CX350 is great, but I always look at sensor size and lens options when considering low light.
Thanks for the information, and as it works in areas of low light, it does not look grainy the black color?
Not great in low light ruclips.net/video/Lw-efaDmbF4/видео.html
Hello Geeknoids,

I did not keep it. The low light capability was not good enough for my work.
Nice review! I'm wondering how this compared to my XT3 and XH1 in terms of video quality?I need something large for my shoulder as my mirrorless are very small
Video quality is great. Low light not so much.
And while you are recording I can touch the screen to give some type of adjustment without making some noise such as a (beep) that damages the recording in audio?
You cannot touch to focus, other adjustments and buttons are possible but might be audible depending on how you are recording audio.
Remember 4K cameras need special edit software that is not always available the "final cut software " that is required is no longer available one that you can use is Premier pro this is one of the few edit suites that will work with 4K also cyberlink power director .

Great video! Quick question. Can you take the front hood off of the camera? Thanks!
Yes.
Nice video, Dave! I am evaluating the Panasonic AG-UX180 and the Canon xf400. Are you still satisfied with the camera? How has the screen performance been outside?
I was not satisfied with low light performance and no longer have this camera.
awesome dude!

@@geekanoids But great camera anyway. I guess you can't deny.
You are a great unboxer!
Thank you. Happy Christmas.
hi Dave , please help to know , whether the big lens hood can be detached from the camera front? if needed. regards Bob
Yes it can.
Is good ? And how work automatic mode ? And built in microphone is good ?
It is good in both manual and auto, mic is good too, sensor is small though.
@@geekanoids Thanks, and have it h265 format ? Or 4k recorded on h264 ?
Sorry, I no longer own this to check.
Yeah wow, its very nice kit 😱
Thank you so much.
Is this better than the dji pocket 3 now you can take the Pocket 3 anywhere and no one see it but want something more better to film on. but this still £800 used . also SONY FDR AX100 is about the same
Not better, but different with more controls.
Thanks... I wonder... can you create custom picture profiles? I know there are 5 presets but wondered if you can play with your own adjusting gamma, matrix colors etc?
Ed
Yes, I am pretty sure you can, but not yet tested.
Truly enjoyed this.
Thank you :D

Another great camera.
Great Review. Question. Is there a Zebra on this cam?
Sorry I no longer have this to check but think there is.
Nice unit , but no SDI?
Not on this model.
Thanks for the review. Does the HC-X1 have Face Detect Autofocus?
I have not tested this yet, but I do not think so.
What cam are you using for making this video, especially the first shot?
Panasonic GH4.
Thanks, I am interested in a GH5 but I live in the middle of nowhere in bavaria, I can't find a demo device to test. I need some sample footage on a card shot in 3840x2160p50/60 but I need the complete files and folders on the card.

What's the difference in specs between this and what I see as the identical Panasonic AG UX180?
I think the more expensive model has SDI outputs.
And that's it for THAT much more!!
Any idea on how to set up autofocus on the camera? I'd like to set it up on a gimbal and have it autofocus. What menus?
Standard AF is great on this.
Can't seem to find out how to do it. I want it to autofocus for example I walk up to s bride and it focuses even though I have my hands full holding a gimbal. How do I set it up to do that? Step by step
Not sure how to do this, other than making the AF area smaller. Page 55 of the user manual.
Awesome sir
Thank you.
Nice unboxing :)
Many thanks.
Where could i get this for a good price not too expensive cheap price thank you also cool video loved it
Sorry not sure of cheap sources for this.
After recording in 4k you can see in the same camera the video? (Playback)
Yes.
Geekanoids Thanks,good video👍
Thanks
Hi Thank you for excellent video, Please do you know what memory card you can use for 4k recording for this camcorder, does it has to be V90 II class 10 U3 or V30 I Class 10 U3,
I will be grateful if you help me with this answer. Regards Ali
I was using these amzn.to/2KS585k
Hi. HC-X1,UX180, CX350 = BEST CAMERA???
There are so many great cameras nowadays.
Do you put tripods on cameras like these
Sometimes, yes.
congratulations! sweet!
is the Panasonic AG-UX180 a better camcorder than this I'm thinking of upgrading from my Sony FDR-AX53.
The UX180 picture quality is identical, it just has SDI connections and a pro warranty.
Can you upload a video recording from that camera please Dave? Ta
Soon :D
Does that cam comes with SD cards.
Was watching Panasonic review and they comes with 64GB and 128GB Sd Cards ?
Only on some promotions with certain retailers.
rcaerialcamera redefining media

Dave .. the Panasonics are better designed , by the fixed lens cap ,not like the jvc hm170 and hm200 , I don't like the flip outs on jvc which looks like they are going to snap off , Panasonic is the business , I think prestons are the best.. going back years the only place gave good deals was prestons.. good luck to you..
