Does this camera have a dual bus SDXC slot to ...

Does this camera have a dual bus SDXC slot to support UHS-II card speeds at V60 or V90? Or is UHS-I Class 3 U3 V30 the fastest it can support as listed in the manual? Wondering if there is any advantage to buying a V60 or V90 for this camera?
Asked by: Chris
Bits & Bytes - I think I’ve answered my own question. X1500 writes at a max of 200 Mbps (mega bits per second) and SanDisk Extreme Pro writes at a min of 30 MB/s (mega bytes per second). So converting to bytes as common units by a factor of 8 gives X1500 writing at a max of 25 MB/s, which is below the min speed of the SDXC card at 30MB/s. Or in bits, the SDXC min write speed is 240 Mbps, higher than the max 200 Mbps of the X1500. Thanks!

Can it accommodate the 2 connection varizoom remote to control focus, iris, and zoom?
Asked by: Scott
It cannot. This has a single LANC compatible input. You would be able to use a remote like the VariZoom VZ-Rock Variable-Rocker for LANC Camcorders with it, BH #VAVZROCK. https://bhpho.to/2tVh576

Does anyone have a problem when plug in a 3.5mm mic that it starts to make a hiss sound. Try to turn it down but still it surpass the audio

If possibly try another microphone. Also the gain in camera may be set too high. Also make sure that the 3.5mm input is the only input active.

Can you use a power bank for external power?

Can you use a power bank for external power?
Asked by: Steven
To extend the power of a camcorder like the Panasonic HC-X1500 UHD 4K HDMI Pro Camcorder with 24x Zoom, we recommend using a D-Tap dummy battery converter, like the GyroVu D-Tap to Panasonic AG-VBR59 Dummy Battery Cable (30") (B&H #GYVDTAPVBR59), to then attach to larger, longer-life professional batteries, like the IndiPRO Tools Kratos II V-Mount Li-Ion Battery (99Wh) (B&H # INKTRVM99).

What is the connection type on top of the camera? I'd like a mic holder on top, but I don't need the XLR/light features of the VW-HU1 accessory.
Asked by: Thomas
That has a shoe mount on the top, which is a common connection on many shotgun microphones with a 1/8" output.
