1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:08,400
this is probably the most exciting unboxing i've done in a while this is

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:12,240
the canon xa10 hd camcorder so we are

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:14,080

camcorder that we use for shooting ncix tech tips this is an

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,520
sd sdhc sd xc

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:28,320
um camcorder so what it means is we're recording completely onto solid state

7
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:33,200
media which is pretty nice both for speed and for convenience all right

8
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:37,280
um all right what do we got here so this is

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:42,960

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:51,280
finally replacing the ncix tech tips camera i'm so stoked

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:56,079
this is a much higher quality much higher caliber of camera than what we've

13
00:00:53,680 --> 00:01:00,079
used in the past okay we got a transfer utility here

14
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:06,000
we got um camcorder music data image mix data disk

15
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:10,080

16
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:15,040
benefits from canon okay uh canon professional services transfer

17
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:21,040
utility installation guide woohoo instruction manual so this is like thick

18
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:24,240
this is a big old instruction manual one third of it is english so it shows you

19
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:30,159
how to change the timeline you know what let me see if i can find something with the general uh specs of the unit so that

20
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:33,600
i have something to refer to because i haven't really looked at any information

21
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:39,360
about it since i pre-ordered it which was like two months ago uh it's taken a

22
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:44,400
really long time to come in stock okay so here's the highlights of the xa10 so

23
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:49,680
i'm gonna put that aside for myself to refer back to and let's start finding

24
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,040
some accessories and whatnots here okay

25
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:55,360
oh my goodness i don't even know where to begin with this okay this looks like

26
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,640
a battery pack we're just gonna like open stuff up

27
00:01:57,119 --> 00:02:02,640
because we're gonna be using this camera today hopefully yeah intelligent

28
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,119
lithium-ion battery you see that okay okay

29
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:10,959
all right what do we got next next we have a

30
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,520
remote wireless controller okay

31
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:18,319
next we have some screws

32
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:23,440
okay those are mounting screws for something in all likelihood another

33
00:02:20,239 --> 00:02:24,879
little battery

34
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:29,040
okay some kind of little clip i better not

35
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,720
lose any of this stuff looks like there's some assembly

36
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:37,599
required here folks here's the lens cover thing put that on

37
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:41,920
the end of the camera excellent okay what do we got here uh power brick

38
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:47,599
and uh this garbage is gonna start blowing away if i don't find something

39
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:50,480
to do with it so here you can look at the power brick while i figure out what

40
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:53,360
to do with my garbage i'm just gonna put it in my pocket for now i think okay

41
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,440
okay we're good so power brick

42
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:01,280
uh power cord nothing really exciting there okay now we're getting into some

43
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:05,920
cables so our first cable is a component out

44
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,000
cable so that uses a little interface on the

45
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:14,159
camera outputs component for monitoring what you're doing

46
00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:20,400
all right next we got so this is where our

47
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:22,560
looks like our mics plug into

48
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:26,640
so we have two channels there little buttons to eject them we've been

49
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,560
using like a consumer level camera up until now oh look at all this

50
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:34,480
so we can like change it and stuff cameraman probably

51
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:39,360
knows a lot better than me what all of this does because i'm kind of a camera

52
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:43,040
idiot but that's a zoom right that's zoom yeah he's giving me the indication

53
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:48,640
that that is indeed zoom some kind of lock start stop oh okay now it's not

54
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:51,360
locked sweet so here's a shoe for um i

55
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:55,920
don't know flash whatever it is it looks good love it

56
00:03:53,599 --> 00:04:00,799
okay next we have

57
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,959
this some other kind of more different

58
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,959
bracket

59
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:11,439
it's got like soft rubber on it here and here

60
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,920
hold something okay

61
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:21,359
look cameras are not my strong point guys you wanted to see a professional camera

62
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:26,479
unboxing go somewhere else this is just me unboxing my new toy okay

63
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:32,960
usb 2 for transferring files and finally composite output from the

64
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:36,000
camera itself so that's just your um

65
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:39,040
single video and then stereo audio so

66
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,160
now i have the xa10 camera

67
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,080
which is safely packaged inside bubble

68
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:48,800
wrap it's actually really small i was expecting it to be a little bit bigger

69
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:52,240
so uh here why don't i just read off the packaging what some of the key features

70
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:57,440
are ham highlights of the xa10 hd recording with

71
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:05,199
a uh digit dv3 processor cool okay one third

72
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:09,759
inch cmos sensor that captures video it infects a pixel count of approximately

73
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:12,960
2.07 megapixels which is 1080p okay wide zoom lens with a focal length

74
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,160
at full at wide angle of 30.4 you know i'm just

75
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:21,600
going to hold this out here and cameraman can look at it because he knows what's interesting and i don't

76
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:25,199
uh emphasis on versatility manual controls at your fingertips face

77
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,479
detection infrared recording ooh in the dark so we can do like uh night tech

78
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:35,600
tips uh relay recording and double slot recording so when your sd card is full

79
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:38,560
you can just um oh simultaneously to two memory cards which is a convenient way

80
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:42,000
to back up your recordings interesting or you can record to one

81
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:45,680
then the other and just swap memory cards as you go so that you can record

82
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:49,280
without interruption other features audio you can use the

83
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:54,479
built-in microphone mic audio input terminal or the two xlr audio input

84
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:58,320
terminals when recording lcd screen and viewfinder why don't we have a look at

85
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:02,400
that 100 frame coverage which ensure that you can accurately check that your

86
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:06,560
shots are framed how you want them so let's just go ahead and open that up

87
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:10,560
nice big wide screen you know what let's see if the uh battery pack has any

88
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,440
charge on it sometimes they do you never know

89
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:16,080
okay let's uh figure out where the button is to do the

90
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:20,800
thing oh okay hold on maybe i can mount this too

91
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,199
so ah so this goes on here

92
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:28,479
so that's pretty straightforward oh no no it slides in here first so you slide

93
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:34,160
in like lift this up

94
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,680
lift these up

95
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,199
slide in like that once you have them lifted up

96
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:43,840
sufficiently there we go put that back in there

97
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:48,039
make sure it's making good contact screw these bad boys in

98
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:54,639
new tech tips camera okay gotta get them lined up before

99
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:58,240
they'll screw in that makes sense that's very intuitive

100
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,479
okay got that there

101
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:05,520
so yeah i don't even know what that thing is up there but

102
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:12,240
so we assembled it a little bit now uh we did not put the microphone holder on

103
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,000
since i do use a lapel mic that mounts right here so uh yeah we won't be using

104
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:20,240
that at all we'll just be using our little wireless unit and then let's uh

105
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:24,160
it's not charged at all so i can't really show you guys any of that we got

106
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:27,039
powered image stabilization got our touch screen here that little piece that

107
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:30,800
i couldn't figure out what it was that's a stylus so we won't be using that in

108
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:34,800
all likelihood okay here we can switch between uh playback and recording mode

109
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:39,440
here's where the sd cards go pretty sweet

110
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,199
yeah yeah infrared on and off it's very

111
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:45,919
ergonomic i'll tell you guys that much like the the feel of it is very nice so

112
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:50,479
i can very easily reach the zoom controls up here slides very smoothly so

113
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:54,080
that'll be good for nice smooth zoom shots from cameraman here's the

114
00:07:52,479 --> 00:08:00,560
viewfinder if we're not using an external display which we in all likelihood will be using this is

115
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,560
something no idea okay start stop uh

116
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:07,680
here we can change between a few different modes manual auto and cinema

117
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:12,479
oh i think this is focus right is that focus yeah cameraman says that's focus

118
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,840
so we have manual focus now high

119
00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:19,680
technology for ncix tech tips

120
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:21,440
and uh i think that's pretty much it so

121
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:26,479
oh okay okay okay we have to do one more shot here we have to do one more shot okay here give me give me this give me

122
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:29,840
this okay cameraman has to hold the camera and then i'm gonna show you guys

123
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:34,479
a glimpse of the cameraman this is what it looks like when he's

124
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:39,120
holding a camera thanks for checking out this unboxing online as tech tips don't
