[Orkus]

Man that looks like an amazing camera. How much did he buy it??

[Trippy_Filmer]

[hopelessfilmer]

[casanova]

why did he buy that for skating. please tell me he shots shorts. if he didnt he's a retard.
ive got a vx1

[crazy_dave]

^^He didn't buy it for us to skate with. Its his dads, we just need a camera so we thought we'd use it.

Whats the big deal anyways? Whats wrong with it?

[pipectomaz]

It is an amazing camera!!!! Lucky you!!! I wish beeing filmed with it... some day I could be discovered and become a pro... :) :) :) No realy, I think thtre is nothing wrong with it.

[hopelessfilmer]

oh well dave its a news cam,,, a shoulder mount for broadcasts thats almots completly useless for skateing

[SK8CE]

Im using a fuji finepix A300

[crazy_dave]

a shoulder mount for broadcasts thats almots completly useless for skateing

The one were using has a handle on it. Im not even sure thats the cam were using! Just looked really really similar. Think it could be a different one?

[Crystal]

canon eos 1d mark II
gets the job done for photography
as for film cameras
i have some digital one by sony
and i know nothing about that
but your dads looks cool

[FireFreek]

haha that would be soooooooo sketchy filming fisheye.

But I've got:

Canon optura 20
kenko fish

[Trippy_Filmer]

he probably has the GL-2....

[FireFreek]

Yeah the Gl-2 looks pretty similar in a way to that camera.

[360degrees]

Yeah he barely brings it out anyway. Looks like were stuck with my darn handycam Dave... Which just went on the fritz.

[hopelessfilmer]

wait dave you didnt even know if that was the cam???? what the hell was thie topic made for u didnt even know... and yes its prolly a gl1/2 or xm1/2

Its not about my camera, about yours. Read carefully.

[sk8vid]

**** the canon xl2 should be like for tv shit ...
u r ****ing lucky im using some dumb **** and would be lucky to get a jvc mg 20
view my gallery to see my crappy graphics

[hopelessfilmer]

dave its just what u said that blew evryone off,,ill start though..
jvc gr-dv800u
raynox mx3000 death lens
jvc mic
2 extended batterys
custom handle

[Trippy_Filmer]

.... its in my sig. ^ (pretend thats upside down)

[hopelessfilmer]

my setup loves me

[Billy Madison]

I've got a Panasonic pv-gs500 with a baby death and a bescor 20/40.

[jack_morris]

Im using an xm2, does anyone know about the death lens i can use? im not sure if it will be different than a vx because the speaker seems lower. If a step up ring is a solution would it cause vignetting?

[hopelessfilmer]

you have a 58mm thread you could use a century mk1/mk2 58mm thread monts(vx2kand vx21k have the same threads) or you could just buy the century death made for gl2 bayonet mountsssss.. and last choice would be raynox mx3000

[wowwhatsthat]

i have a canon elura 100 kenko sgw043 fisheye custom handle. 2 and a half hour battery

[vx2100]

dang wtf ? does cannon or whatever actually have 3ccd ? im confused fuk that i dont mess with other companies "Sony" for life ! lol.

[Zachary]

^^I'm pretty sure GLs are three chips, I know Panasonic has a bunch of 'em.

Canon Optura with a stock fisheye that came with it

And a ZR 200

I'm buying a Baby Death this summer though, you can barely tell any difference with that lens on the Optura and just about nothing at all on the ZR.

And using an XL is risky skating, drop it filming a line and you'll never see that thing work as long as you live.

[Trippy_Filmer]

panisonic for life. but still wouldnt mind a sony. and yes the gl2 is a 3chipper.

[Whitney]

I'm using some useless digital camera that can't even manage to upload my videos into a useable format.

Haha I can't. My dad blocked my computer user ID from downloading anything.

[wowwhatsthat]

You have to buy vegas.

[hopelessfilmer]

a sony zillion mega pixel beast!!
ihateyou, vx's have 3.46 mega pixels max.. while the dvx has 4.31..

the canon 10/20 opturas are 1chipss.obvisously..

gl1/2's small 3chips
dvc80/dvx's big colorfull 3chips
vx's big3chips have to be ajusted a certain way to mantain true full color.

[GrizzledJASPER]

Trippy: Do you have some footage posted somewhere on the internet, or know of some footage posted from the panny 150? I just wanna see an example with the quality i should be shooting for.

[dsc6072]

I've got some gay Canon Optura 50 Matt is letting me use but one of my friends just recently got himself a Sony FX1/Century Mk2 and has been filming us in HD. Unfortunately he has absolutely no filming experience and thinks having good equipment makes you a good filmer...shame. I wish I had the scrills to get stuff like that.

[hopelessfilmer]

......he has an fx1 wiht mk2?...... thats overkill... and.. he doesn't know how to film...

kill em and steal his cam

[Trippy_Filmer]

no footy.... their is some on sp a pgs150

[hopelessfilmer]

most of these lods are wondering if a gl2 is a 3chip... don't let them on sp to ruin that site

[GrizzledJASPER]

Haha. dont worry bro, i wont ruin your precious forums.

[skaterat]

Almost all the pics I post are taken on Jeffs' Sony Cybershot with an additional Raynox Lense. Takes vid too.

[hopelessfilmer]

ouch skaterat thats a digital? um good luck wiht single shots.. your gunna be getting alot of frame by frames i assume?

[skaterat]

That camera rocks man. It's the same camera we've been using for a couple years now. All the pics I've posted on this site have been taken with that camera. I'm not sure what you mean by "Good luck with single shots".

[FireFreek]

ihateyou, vx's have 3.46 mega pixels max.. while the dvx has 4.31..

the canon 10/20 opturas are 1chipss.obvisously..

gl1/2's small 3chips
dvc80/dvx's big colorfull 3chips
vx's big3chips have to be ajusted a certain way to mantain true full color.
Uhh no. Most people don't know, but gl's have larger chips than a vx.

and Grizzled, def visit the skateperception forums.
