[7.05 lb] Great product, works as described. Very easy to attach when on the fly and stores easily in camera case. When it first arrives I recommend taking a few minutes to set it up on the camera system that you will be using it on and get all of the velcro sized and attached so that its ready to go when weather strikes. I love that it has a pop-out cover for the LCD screen that not only keeps it protected from weather but also acts as a sun shade during bright days. This cover also has access points (Velcro/zipper) to the camera controls (handle,focus & iris dials, etc) and a clear viewer on the side displaying the control buttons. I am also impressed with how well the Velcro stays attached in windy conditions. I've had models that would fly away as soon as the wind picks up but this one has stayed on in 30mph winds gusts, on tripod and even when hand held by the operators. Overall this is a great product that is worth the price.

[Aluminum] I own three of these. Some things you just can't do efficiently with a DSLR, the Panasonic CX350 is my go-to. It's a work horse for professionals. We use these cameras for sports, training videos, informational messages from the president, promotional/marketing and also for feeding into a switcher for streaming and recording a 3-camera shoot like commencement. I've used this family of cameras for more than 20 years and transitioned from the DVX100 using mini-DV to the HMC150 using SD cards, and then the AC160, the UX180 and now I'm replacing my DVX200s with CX350s. All of the previously mentioned cameras (11-total) still work just fine, I've never had a problem, never had to send one away for repair.

[7.05 lb] Perfect for outdoor shoots, or shoots near water!

[7.05 lb] Excellent overall camcorder. 10-bit color, lens that does almost everything. I love the macro on this thing, shockingly awesome and a huge asset in the field. Macro doesn’t go all the way at every zoom mm but it’s jaw-dropping where it does. Shadows a bit noisey but the interface and LANC are great.

[Aluminum] I did a lot of research before selecting this camera.
I apologize for not going over all of the details as I am very busy.
Quickly here are a few. 4K in many shooting modes, slow mo 120fps, all of the buttons on the outside for quick access and all of the additional features in the menu. XLR inputs, ND filters, Wide/zoom 2 toggle switches, white balance , focus features good,

[Aluminum] I use the CX350 to film high school and collegiate sports and film and livestream church services. The camera is amazing, well balanced, easy to use, extremely versatile, videos are clear, crisp, excellent color , autofocus works great for fast sports and has good audio. I opted for ProGrade V90 cards and reader ( super fast). In my opinion and experience the negative reviews are not warranted. I use FCPX for post production. A heads up for post production, copy only the video files from your card to an external drive. Import the entire clip and check leave in place because you can’t set clip ranges on import. You can set the clip ranges in the FCPX browser. A few firmware upgrades would be nice to have, a bit larger and different color histogram to make it easier to see, a change in the card structure so you can import clip ranges and a percent remaining battery life.

For church services I use a Nikon 850, Z6, Canon XF200 and CX350 and have no issues matching color.

I am very happy with my CX350 and recommend that you consider it for your application.

[Aluminum] SOLID PRODUCT FROM PORTA BRACE. NO ISSUES
