The XH A1 shares its design structure with both the GL1 and the XL2. The body and chassis is most definitely GL1 with a single ???barrel?? shape topped with an attached top mounted swooping handle containing the stereo microphone at its tip. This handle contains duplicate start/stop and tele/wide controls plus a photo button. Additionally a hot shoe is accompanied by a side mounted external mic holder directly above twin balanced SLR inputs. Finally, the transport controls for playback are also incorporated in the handle.
