Magnesium Alloy Chassis –
The Rugged Durability Professionals Need
The AG-DVX100A features the
same magnesium alloy diecast
chassis as our DVCPRO
broadcast models. This tough,
rigid unit protects the high-
precision mechanism, giving
the AG-DVX100A outstanding
reliability and durability. Built
for professionals,
the AG-DVX100A stands up to
the bumps and jolts that occur in
the field.
Highly Reliable DV Mechanism
Panasonic chose a DV
mechanism for the
AG-DVX100A because of its
superior mobility, low running
costs, extended recording
capability, and easy tape
availability. However, for the
AG-DVX100A we developed a
greatly enhanced, vastly more
reliable mechanism than the
ones used in home DV cameras and recorders. To minimize dropout
and head clogging, we incorporated the same forward cleaning head
and automatic head cleaning function found in DVCPRO models.
The sturdy loading system allows quick tape changes.
Lightweight Design with Balanced Grip
The AG-DVX100A introduces a new design that ends the
contradiction between a compact, lightweight body and a stable,
secure hold.
The center of balance is located precisely at the handgrip. Because
there's no need for a wide-angle conversion lens, the weight balance
is ideal for comfortable shooting. The AG-DVX100A's short body and
light weight — it weighs just 1.9 kg in operating condition* — means
free, easy maneuverability. Plus, the low-center-of-gravity design and
new skeleton lens hood greatly improve forward vision.
