This could happen if your DV tapes are
contaminated, clog up the tape path and stick in the transport.
What brand are you using, how old are they and do you reuse them a lot? Is your cleaning tape the same brand as your recording tapes?
Buy some brand new DV tapes and a cleaning tape from a major manufacturer .. and record only at SP speed.
ALWAYS use the same brand DV cleaning ...

I have a 14 day assignment in Kenya coming up and need to travel light. I want to transfer/backup files from my SXS and SDHC cards to a portable drive, but do not want to take a laptop with me. (my 17" screen HP Pavilion is far too big)
Can anyone recommend a good portable drive that will allow data transfers either directly from the camera or via a
USB card reader. I have an Epson P5000 ...

Hi Scott. Have you considered a rain cover to protect your camera from the snow?
I believe the Kata CRC-14 fits the Canon XHA1. Should be able to pick one up for under $100. It wont protect the lens so much but if you're getting a cheap
wide angle adapter that might protect it enough.
I don't know much about lens adapters so I can't help you out there.

I'm sure that radios would help, but only after you do the basics. In your
pre-production meeting, figure out who's going to shoot what. Cam 1 is tight on the front of the stage. Camera 2 tight on the drummer. Camera three works a sight line between keyboards and drums. Camera 4 stays loose. Now things won't stay that way but if everyone knows their patch, you'll get less duplication. You'll also...
