Camera Equipment of Mansavage Productions
Mansavage Productions uses high quality prosumer camera equipment, the same equipment used by television networks to shoot shows like daytime soap operas, and television stations also use to gather video to show on network television news shows. Our camera is a Canon XH A1S camera, built for professionals who require a HD camcorder with capability and performance. Starting with the superb Canon Genuine Canon 20x HD lens with Professional Series Fluorite, the XH A1S adds 3 CCD's, each of which is at 1440 x 1080 pixels. Shooting in the field will be the best it can be with Canon's SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization. It corrects for a wide range of camera movement and vibration, and combined with Instant AF (Auto Focus), the camera gives ultra-quick, accurate focus. The DIGIC DV II HD image processor finishes the picture with improved color reproduction and noise reduction - for a final result that delivers excellent image quality. More about our Camera.
To compliment the camera, we use a professional quality camera support system, featuring a Manfrotto fluid head atop a Bogan tripod. More about our tripod system.
