Hello, Thanks for the video, when u get a chance, I have a question, my friend gave me a new Panasonic HC-VX981 / it’s been sitting for years. I’m trying to charge the battery, but the battery won’t charge, it will blink red for a little then the red will go off , Do you think maybe the battery shelf life has expired.
just about anything works fine. lots of good tripods can be obtained at thrift stores. i use my dslr tripod because i swap between the 2 devices, so i mounted a quickplate from another tripod on the camcorder. if you want more freedom in adjustability, i do recommend one with a ball head on it.
it can be charged with any appropriate voltage/amperage charger, so long as you have the cord for the charging port. you can even run the camera using a battery bank.
Most useful review I've found. Thanks a bunch.
The vixia requires a powered microphone that has it's own battery.

Great Video. Very informative.
Dose the Panasonic HC-VX981 display military time or standard?
is it true that in auto mode the camera changes the shutter speed to even 1/1500 on a sunny day?
I LIKE YOU💙
The VIXIA series needs a powered external mic.
What’s a good tripod for this camcorder?

It does have a boom out though right?
Hey I bought it used and it didn’t come with a battery charger. Can it be charged with a cord?
it can be charged with any appropriate voltage/amperage charger, so long as you have the cord for the charging port. you can even run the camera using a battery bank.
the camera cannot be charged via its usb connector, however.
