Panasonic Detachable Handle Unit for the HC-X1500

Panasonic Detachable Handle Unit for the HC-X1500

This top handle from Panasonic has been specifically designed to augment the experience with the HC-X1500 camcorder. You can now add a top handle and mic input to your HC-X1500 camcorder adding 2 x industry-standard 3-pin XLR audio inputs, a microphone holder, a start/stop record button, a zoom rocker, and also a built-in LED light.

The Panasonic VW-HU1E-K attaches to the top of the camera using its proprietary connector and it's secured by a thumbscrew. The dual 3-pin XLR audio inputs feature volume controls and selectable mic/line and +48V phantom power features so you can add two channels of audio to your recording. Additionally, a mic holder on the top fits a standard shotgun mic for convenience.

Other features compliment the camera controls including a start/stop record button and zoom rocker, and a tally LED indicates when you are recording. The diffused LED light on the front of the unit allows you to illuminate your shot, and also provides dimming control. There is one shoe mount and one mounting thread on top to add additional accessories.
