extremeshannon 0 #1 August 10, 2008 Been reading a lot on about hhandycam gloves. I have not used a glove yet but I would like to start. I have a Sony PC120 I have read and think it is to big. I would like to know what Glove, Camera, and lens I should buy or should I use the PC120 I have. Everyone’s opinion would be great. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiverton2 0 #2 August 10, 2008 Do a search, has been discussed a lot. Since 3 weeks I jump a HDR-HC5 in a waycool glove and a .25 lense. (check the waycool website for explanation, including camcorder recommendation) http://www.waycool.com.au/page.html?chapter=100&id=18#sony Some people consider the HC5 also to be big, Once they see the total height in the glove and footage their comments disappears Attached some frames when I shoot in HDV modeUsing your droque to gain stability is a bad habid. . . Also in case you jump a sport rig!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #3 August 10, 2008 I wouldn't say the PC120 is too big, I have had no problems jumping a PC 110 till it finally gave out on me. I do like my HC3/5 and glove.....---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you find capturing longer while shootinbg in HD? I just bought a CX12 but have a Royal .2 non HD lens. Im just shooting SD thinking Im losing HD with the lens so I might as well just shoot in SD HQ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dokeman 0 #6 August 11, 2008 I usually shoot in SD mode just because the slowmo is a little funky when in HD mode so its works better with my mixer board. But even when shooting in SD the picture quality is still better than the other regular DV cameras. But at the end of the day they still leave with a SD DVD. Whether the camera recorded in HD or SD.

Im just shooting SD thinking Im losing HD with the lens so I might as well just shoot in SD HQ. I shoot in HDV. this allows me to take framegrabs from the camera after the jump. ( I e-mail these framegraps to the passenger as bonus without charging extra money for it. You can print them in 10x15cm (4x6inch) in an acceptable quality) I edit in 16:9 DV mode. I use the .25waycool lens which shows small corners when playeds on a laptop (nothing on DVD or in 4:3 mode) For the moment I'm ok with this lens, but I'm open to buy a better grade for a reasonable price in case this one does not show black corners and has an size acceptable for handcamUsing your droque to gain stability is a bad habid. . .
