Hi Raymond, I read about the equipment that you have and would like to ask you some questions. I also have the VX3 and really like it's manual features and picture quality. I wish it was a shoulder mount though. I found that it is indeed a "battery eater". I solved this problem with a Bescor 10AH battery belt. I have recorded continuously for over an hour with out losing power. I don't yet know how long it will last. I currently edit with a Vdeck controlled by EZV2 PC software to a SLV-R5 or EVS3000 Hi-8 deck if I want to dub music on to the PCM tracks. EZV2 lets me do slow mo, freeze, fade video and/or audio and can do A/B rolls. A great little package for $350. I would like to purchase the FAST lite soon but I am not sure how it would work with the SLV-R5 or EVS-3000 that I have. Does the FAST machine use time code on the record deck? How do you do Insert editing? I have the FAST video by Knowledge Path but it is still not clear.
