A high-capacity battery supports longer sessions, giving you up to about 4 hours and 35 minutes of recording time. This camera blends a lightweight, balanced form with robust performance, letting you stay in the moment from setup to wrap.

Flexible lens range for diverse scenes

From a 25 mm wide angle to a powerful 24x optical zoom, the lens range covers compact interiors and distant subjects with ease. In 4K, you can reach up to 32x using i.ZOOM, and up to 48x in Full HD, providing flexible framing without frequent lens swaps.

• 4K high-precision autofocus with face detection helps keep subjects in frame while preserving natural exposure.
• HYBRID optical and electronic stabilization corrects shakes across five directions; the Ball OIS system reduces subtle blur for handheld work.
• Recording options include 4K 59.94p or 50p with HEVC LongGOP at 10-bit 4:2:0, delivering rich color and detail.
• High bit rate up to 200 Mbps for 4K capture; 120 or 100 fps super slow motion in Full HD provides creative playback options.

Workflow, control, and connectivity

The X2100 includes a detachable handle for a lighter setup, with a REC button, zoom lever, and an integrated LED light. Two-channel XLR audio inputs expand microphone options for fuller, controlled sound. USB PD charging ensures power continuity when the camera is off, while wireless control via the HC ROP app adds remote versatility when the camera is placed in hard-to-reach positions.

Portability meets performance

The camera is designed with a heat-dispersing profile to support longer shoots in varying environments. It suits run-and-gun filming, on-location interviews, and compact documentary setups where balance, reliability, and creative flexibility matter. This model emphasizes practical features that empower you to explore different angles and storytelling approaches without being tethered to heavy gear.
