4K is no longer reserved for theatrical cinema presentation; it is in demand at all levels of production. With Ultra HD recording, the GY-HM170UA 4KCAM Compact Professional Camcorder with Top Handle Audio Unit from JVC is designed to fulfill the requirement for professional functionality. It offers ND filters, custom-assign buttons, and professional audio inputs with manual gain control in a form-factor closer to a consumer camcorder. The camera records 3840 x 2180 UHD 4K in 24 or 30p, at a bit rate of 150 Mb/s, encoding the file in an .MOV-wrapped H.264 codec. With two SDHC/SDXC card slots, the camera supports dual, backup, and continuous recording. Besides 4K, it can also record 1080p at up to 60 fps in an 8-bit 4:2:2 50 Mb/s .MOV file, or in AVCHD for compatibility with consumer editing software.

For monitoring, there is a flip-out LCD screen with a 920,000-pixel panel, plus a 0.24" viewfinder with 1.56-megapixel resolution—the latter being especially helpful when working in bright daylight. For an external monitor, connecting to a live switcher, or recording video externally, there is an HDMI port with live 4K output. The included top handle audio unit features two XLR audio inputs for use with external microphones, offering switchable Mic/Line/Mic +48 inputs with independent gain control. It attaches to your camera's accessory shoe and secures with a slotted thumbscrew. It features electrical contacts on its foot that enable audio signal transmission to the camera without any cable required. An accessory shoe and shotgun mic clamp are available on top.

The SWIT BN-S8823 7.2V Lithium Ion Battery from JVC is a 7.2V, 2600mAh battery that works with the JVC GY-HM100, GY-HM150, and GY-HM170 camcorders. The battery has a four-level LED indicator, so you can tell on sight roughly how much power remains before you attach it to the camera. The BN-S8823 is equivalent to JVC's BN-VF823 battery.

The BN-S8823 also has a 7.2V pole DC output that can be used to power the SWIT S-2010 on-camera LED light and the camera simultaneously. When used with compatible camcorders, the battery transmits the remaining power percentage and recording time. An intelligent circuit protects against abnormal current, voltage, and temperature.

The SWIT AA-3602V 2-Channel Charger for BN-S8823 Battery from JVC is a two-position simultaneous battery charger that's compatible with the SWIT BN-S8823 and the JVC BN-VF823 batteries for the JVC GY-HM100 camcorder. The charger doubles as an AC adapter, supplying 8.4V DC power output. The AA-3602V inputs 100-240V AC power.

Styled in black with gray accents, this Cargo Case Camera Edition from Porta Brace holds an assembled pro video camera measuring up to 16.5" long in its 9"-tall main compartment. It can also be used to carry a full DSLR camera kit. This bag has two exterior padded side pockets, two exterior flat zippered pockets, and two interior slip pockets for storing additional gear.

Use the included padded Camera Cradle to protect your DSLR, mirrorless, or camcorder in the case. A Camcorder Cinch strap enables you to tie down your camera in the case, preventing it from bouncing while in motion. A detachable divider, a removable microphone pocket, a 4" lens cup, and a PB-B9 stuff sack are also included with the Cargo Case. A semi-rigid interior foam core provides soft, protective padding for your gear.

Constructed with a 1000D Cordura nylon exterior, the case's skid-resistant waterproof bottom enables you to set it down outside without fear of getting the contents wet. Cargo case features include reverse zippers that are sewn-in upside down for added durability. The zipper pulls are moved back to the top and function normally. Carry this made-in-the-USA bag using the removable shoulder strap or the suede-grip top handles.

The QAN0067-003 from JVC is a replacement microphone for the GY-LS300 camera and will work on most JVC ProHD, and 4KCAM camcorders. The mic is used to capture audio and is powered by 48V phantom power. A hardwired cable and XLR output connector is provided, and a foam windscreen is included.
