[1"-Type CMOS] Awesome product, horrible customer service. The bag works great, fits my camera perfectly and room for a few accessories without over packing the bag. But if you might need customer service, don't expect it from BNH, buy elsewhere. 5

[1"-Type CMOS] First of all, if you look at the reviewers who gave this caddy 1 star you can see that they don't actually own the caddy. They are just complaining about the price. I do own this caddy. I'm reviewing it based on my experience using it. I got this caddy as part of a bundle with my JVC GY-HC500 camera. With the bundle, the caddy was included with the camera along with a 1TB SSD at no additional cost! That makes this caddy a great deal if you can get it bundled with the camera for free! There is a lot to like about this caddy. It gives you the ability to record a lot of high quality 4:2:2 10-bit 4k footage without having to worry about space limitations. You can go up to 60p in 4k with this caddy in the GY-HC500. You can also of course do other frame rates like 4k30, 1080p30, etc. At 1080p30 your recording time will essentially be endless with this caddy and a decent size SSD. There are a few limitations that I have found while using this caddy. First of all, you have to remove the battery to remove the caddy from the camera. I recommend having the camera turned off while removing it anyway. Another limitation is that you cannot live stream with the camera while also recording to the SSD in this caddy. You can live stream while recording to SD Cards, though. Another thing, in order to get the camera to recognize the SSD in the caddy and be able to format it, record to it, etc. you have to go into the system menu and select one of the system options that include (SSD) in the name. Then the camera will reboot and you will be able to format the SSD and record to it. Overall I have found this caddy great to use. It's a little less convenient than using SD cards that you can just pop in and out, but it makes up for it by giving you a lot of space to record to when combined with a decent sized SSD. I just wish they would add capability to live stream while also recording to the SSD in the caddy. Maybe some day they will do it via a firmware update. 5

[f/2.8 to 4.5] They last a long time, and I never have to worry about running out of power. 5

[Video Only] I really love this Camera... Works great. Picture quality is great, controls are easy, very light camera, but very rugged as well. When shooting freehand with a Steady Stick, I find that focusing Long Distances is difficult with manual focus and impossible with Auto Focus (I primarily shoot a lot of RC A/C.. Distance shots even zoomed in hard to focus through the viewfinder and using the flip out monitor in daylight is useless as you just get blinded.... I Have a GY-HM100U camera and I do not have the RC shooting problem that I have with the 180, However this is a minor issue for me. However, even with all of that, I really like the camera. Heavy Duty, Great Video, works well... Inside use of the camera is 2nd to none... everything works great and as advertised as does shooting at night does very very well. One feature that I noted is the Remote Port... It is actually LANC and works well with LANC Devices, even though it is not advertised... A great feature that JVC should push, but do not seem to do. 5

[1"-Type CMOS] I had a wedding video last weekend. I use to have only one battery but the battery I ordered came in on time and was very handy. 5

[1"-Type CMOS] Great features, clear pictures. 5

[Video Only] I decided to get this bag because of Porta Brace's outstanding reputation and the fact that it's a near-perfect fit for the HM170, although it would also fit other smallish camcorders. The inside of the bag is burnt orange with a tight black document pocket on one side. It comes with a velcro divider. With the HM170 in the bag there's about 3-4 inches of clearance in front of the camera, assuming you push the camera all the way to one side. There's probably 1-2 inches of clearance on the sides of the camera. These measurements were taken with the lens hood and microphone mounted. (See attached photo) I would say there's enough room for the camera, power supply, a few batteries, and some small items but not much else. All in all, an excellent bag that will stand the rigors of the field. 5
