[United States] Great to have added piece of mind against life's accidents for an affordable price

[5-Year ] Everything is awesome! Love it!

[Additional] I protected my investment in my flash by purchasing the carepak. I never know if I'll need it but it's good to have.

[Additional] So far for the last few days that I've had a chance to play around with this controller, I feel that all my controls are at my fingertips and not hidden away in menus like their other controller. Having focus control right at your fingertips and color correction is how it should've been right from the start. The speed control pods for the focus, zoom, pan and tilt are critical to work smoothly and fast. Also, using the monitor to pick your focus point right on the controller is a big help. I was able to achieve this on the old controller using an iPad with a webpage but this makes my set up way easier. Being able to use this controller as a CCU for other canon cameras is a smart decision on cannons part and helped solidify the decision to buy this unit for myself because of that reason.

[Additional] They got it right with this.


As a user of the RC-IP100 I found it a bit basic but functional, but this new one takes it to a whole other level.


Every control area now has dedicated knob for speed control on the fly, the feedback with the lit buttons for what is live and on preview is much clearer than the touchscreen of the 100 (Small red line)


The Joystick has a button on top which makes it great for a quick AF and the design of the joystick is more comfortable.


Touchscreen is much easier to read and faster. Shows the model number of each camera when you punch it up and the associated configuration. 300/500/700 were MUCH easier to add and configure quickly.


The HDMI out pulls the IP stream of each attached camera and display it on the attached monitor you hook to it. It is the streaming feed so a bit pixelated but it may just be I need to configure it more. we use dedicated multiview in 4K but this is a handy feature.


Larger GPIO to take advantage of more of the functionality compared to the small number on the 100 - If the 1000 could activate the REC light on XF-605's for tally this would be a welcomed update.


POWER options- if you use POE to power it, either the touchscreen or a couple of the features are limited. It does not come with the 4 Pin power supply, so if you want no limits functionality add a 4 Pin 12v power supply. It does not come with it.


One of my big questions was if I hook up both the 1000 and the 100 will they fight. And they are fully compatible being able to adjust cameras at the same time and even use the joystick and they are seamless. We can pas off cameras between them and adjust on the fly.


I wanted to add this review because we managed to get one right away, and we are so impressed with it so far. Our choice to go all Canon over the competition has alot of people jealous when we roll in.


If I can add to this later we will.

[Parts & Labor] May not need, based on Canon experience so far.

[United States] I have yet to have an issue with my gear but I know that whenever I do, Canon will be there for me. As a Canon Professional, I rely on having gear that is always up and going. Should I have to send my gear in, they will fix it immediately and even send me a loaner.

Anyone that is a professional, or even not... this is a must. Never leave home without insurance. This plan.. about $50, ... the replacement, over $400!!!

Don't leave home without it. I highly recommend this add on.
