tqsmile 0 #1 May 13, 2004 Thanks for the help on my last question. Here is another. I am using a Sony PC101 and a sony wide angle with a uv lense and stepup ring. In winter or cold weather ,during freefall my lense fogs up. I don't know if it is the wide angle or the uv filter. What can i do to stop this. The fogging is a circle right in the middle of my picture right over the tandem pass faceTQ I am me and you are you, so deal with it!!! www.skydivepe.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wlie 0 #2 May 13, 2004 I think RDutch posted something about a product called CatCrap or something that's an anti-fog wipe-on similar to RainX.My other ride is the relative wind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdhill 0 #3 May 13, 2004 Do a search for CatCrap... it works great for me in a hot and humid environment... I usually don't have too many issues in winter, but it should work then too since it is generally marketed for ski goggles.

piisfish 136 #4 May 13, 2004 where do you have to put the catcrap ?? outside of the wide angle ? inside the wide angle ? Outside the camera lens ? And what if the fogging is inside the camera lens ??scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdhill 0 #5 May 13, 2004 I use it on every glass surface I can... it is a great cleaner too... if you are fogging inside the camera, you need to do whatever you can to avoid getting moisture inside... camera condom, tape, whatever... Also, avoid constantly taking the camera from one temp to another... i.e. from air conditioned space to hot humid outside, or in winter from warm, generally moister air inside to cool dry air outside... when you have drastic extremes, leave the camera outside as much as possible to avoid condensation.

cloud_monkey 0 #6 May 13, 2004 Just do like I did - move away from the hot ass sub tropical, humid fucking climate. Then, break your leg so you can't skydive for months on end and all of a sudden, the fog on your lens just ain't an issue any more I'm just ranting Cat crap works great - z Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedy 0 #8 May 14, 2004 I don't know nuffin about cat crap but I do know this works. Buy a UV filter for a stills camera where the glass is the same size as your sony wide angle at the big end. Remove the metal from the UV filter and put the glass on the end of your sony wide angle. Fix it with some insulation tape. No more fogging. Every vidiot on my DZ uses this method. I can't see the cat stuff working because the fogging is taking place inside the wide angle lense. Dave Fallschirmsport Marl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
