The JVC HD100 offers 720/24p recording, interchangeable lenses, and uncompressed analog component output in a compact HDV format camera
When equipped with a Mini35 adapter and Cooke S4 lenses, the setup has a low-profile form factor comparable to an SR3 camera with light zoom
The camera exhibits front-heavy weight distribution unless balanced with additional battery packs mounted toward the rear
The supplied JVC battery provides approximately 40 minutes of runtime and the camera has significant power consumption
An Anton Bauer Gold Mount adapter was developed to allow use of existing Anton Bauer batteries with the HD100 camera

Field tests were conducted without aerial rig deployment
The camera had not yet officially shipped at the time of these observations
Run time specification applies only to the factory-supplied battery pack
Compatibility with other battery systems like PAG batteries was raised but not definitively answered in the discussion
