Why doesn Sony offer a compact shoulder-mount HDV camcorder?
One of the key advantages of the HDV range for professionals is its compact form factor, enabling discreet, highly flexible shooting options within the most confined spaces. The bestselling DSR-PD150P generated enormous feedback from professional users on how they use their camcorders and the design improvements they’d like. This feedback directly affected the design of the DSR-PD170P and even more the HVR-Z1E – a wholly new camcorder design produced from the ground-up to meet user feedback. A key example of this is the mounting of the flip-out LCD viewfinder into the carrying handle – when shooting using the LCD viewfinder, users are typically handholding the camcorder so the new design makes this much more ergonomic. For applications where shoulder support is necessary, Sony produce a shoulder mount accessory that can be added or removed as necessary. This clarity of design aims for HVR-Z1E and super compact HVR-A1E makes for class-leading ergonomics.
