PhreeZone 16 #452 March 30, 2009 Yes, but it is at a different rate then what the DV cameras did their play backs at. Its not that great for tandem useage due to it being a lot slower then the DV's use to play at.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccordia 74 #453 March 30, 2009 It can, by pressing pause and then slowmo play quick. Not the handiest way of doing things, but its possible yea..JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ironmule 0 #454 April 8, 2009 I would like to buy the European version HDR-CX105 online for a delivery in the US. Can anybody help me with a website that would do that? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ironmule 0 #456 April 9, 2009 Thanks DSE. I checked B&H and found a PAL camcorder (Non USA) ‘Mfr # HDR-CX100BE’. Is this really the same as the European 'HDR-CX105EB'? No findings on Armato's website; will ask via email. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teigen 0 #457 April 9, 2009 I was originally looking at the Tg3 as my first camera.. But it seems the 105 is a tad more popular and by the looks of it i will choose the latter. But it seems some people have issues with shaking and "ghosting" in some of their shots.. Is it substancial? Im pretty fresh but i will be doing both FF and FS jumping this year, training my videoing skills.. So in conclusion 105 YAY or NAY? Also i can't seem to find alot of stuff shot with this camera on youtube.. Is there any other place i can see some test shots? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #458 April 10, 2009 I personally think it would be nuts to buy a camera for jumping long before you're ready to use it. The technology is evolving so fast right now. The CX101 or 106 or whatever comes next might blow away the current cameras. And the prices, unless it's a PC1000 a few years ago, only go down.

Teigen 0 #459 April 10, 2009 I see where you're coming from Dave.. But seeing that i'll be past the obligatory jump count in May, i don't have any big issues buying a camera. Alltough you're right, if i wait a month or so it might be a bit cheaper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 16 #460 April 13, 2009 Has anyone figured out how to get the cx100 to store the files in a continuous numbering format? I'm having it reset back to 00000.mts every time I clear the memory card and I would really prefer if it just kept counting from the last file like how all still camera's operate. I know someone has figured this one out but I haven't seen anywhere in the menus to do this yet.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perriscicaba 0 #462 April 13, 2009 Hi everyone! Sooooo, I am from New Zealand and i got my CX100E a week ago and reading all the post you guys have here i have some questions. 1- How can i edit the videos i download from my camera to my Laptop(it isn't a Mac)? What is the best software for it, or, what software(s) are the compatible to do it? 2- Do I need a Mac to do the edition? 3- Why this camera wouldnt be cool to do tandems video? 4- I am having problems to edit and watch my download videos even in the software original from Sony, any one use it before? Thanks for you time and Attention Mauricio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #463 April 13, 2009 Quote 1- How can i edit the videos i download from my camera to my Laptop(it isn't a Mac)? What is the best software for it, or, what software(s) are the compatible to do it? It may just be the speed of your laptop. Any NLE today (on the PC platform) can manage AVCHD, but your computer processor might not. Sony Vegas, Canopus Edius, Adobe Premiere are the common choices for AVCHD editing. 2- Do I need a Mac to do the edition? A Mac is the worst choice for AVCHD editing. No, you do not need a Mac. 3- Why this camera wouldnt be cool to do tandems video? I'm not clear on this question? The CX100 is a very good camera for shooting tandems. 4- I am having problems to edit and watch my download videos even in the software original from Sony, any one use it before? Hard to say if anyone is having problems like yours if you don't define what the problems are. Again, processor speed plays a significant role in how well AVCHD may be edited.

PhreeZone 16 #464 April 13, 2009 I must be blind since I am not seeing an option to control the file naming anywhere in the menu.

DSE 5 #467 April 14, 2009 I hope to get to the DZ tomorrow or Wed. Sorry I can't help now. In my mind, it's in the General Settings under the File menu options, but I can't specifically recall. I think it's a "Reset to Zero?" Hopefully I'm not confusing it with another camera. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 16 #470 April 14, 2009 It was already on series, the issue is that it keeps resetting to 0 every time I clear the memory card.

Chris-Ottawa 0 #471 April 14, 2009 Hey everyone, I haven't had a chance to go through this entire thread yet, but I'm working on it. I'm looking for 2 things in regards to the CX100 since I'm picking one up today and havent come across it in the thread yet. 1) Is anyone making a sidemount "L" bracket for this cam. I saw Cookie has a sidemount "box", and a generic sidemount bracket, but I'm sure the general bracket will be huge (overkill) and the sidemount box is more than I want. Wondering if anyone has created or can create an "L" bracket for it. I'd be willing to pay for someone to make me one if they have access to a metal shop. I just want to keep it as small and compact as I can. 2)Does anyone know where I can get ahold of some neoprene, or get ahold of premade neoprene covers for a Rebel XTi and the CX100. Again, willing to pay for these if someone is making them. Thanks a bunch!"When once you have tasted flight..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,879 #472 April 14, 2009 >1) Is anyone making a sidemount "L" bracket for this cam. They're really, really easy to make. I make half a dozen of them a month (for other purposes - switch brackets, boxes for prototypes.) If you send me the dimensions I can bend you up one.

Teigen 0 #473 April 14, 2009 Does anyone have the TonFly box for this camera? i've got the Fuego pro and a Zkulls mount on the side. How far does the box stick out from the helmet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris-Ottawa 0 #474 April 14, 2009 Thanks Bill, I sent you a quick PM with some details. As another follow up question, does anyone know how far the 90 degree Hypeye D plug sticks out from the side of the camera? I'm asking because i want to keep it as tight to the helmet as possible, but know I need ot leave room for the Hypeye. Anyone with the CX100/105 and the 90 degree D pro that would be willing to send me a measurement on how much the "D" connector stands out from the right side of the camera? Or if this is maybe a null issue? Thanks a bunch!"When once you have tasted flight..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or if this is maybe a null issue? It sticks out quite a bit, unfortunately. I use my CX100 with an aluminum bracket on my old Bonehead Optik, and I actually put the plug inside the helmet. It's wide enough that the camera doesn't even have to be flush to the helmet for the connector to reach, even with a 3mm neoprene camera condom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
