bodypilot90 0 #1 April 20, 2012 is there any difference in video between the 100, 110, 150 and 210? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cderham 0 #2 April 20, 2012 I know the 110 and 150 has better low light capability. My sunset load video always looks grainy with my cx100. make me want to switch. Only issue i have is that the card slot on the 110 and 150 is in the bottom and not easily accessible with my configuration. I believe the 210 has the undesirable image stabilization system.

eetula 0 #3 April 20, 2012 you didn't ask this, but i'll reply anyway :D the cx 200 series don't have thread for wide lens, so i wouldn't buy one for skydiving... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bodypilot90 0 #4 April 20, 2012 yea but you mod it, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #5 April 21, 2012 You really can't mod the camera to put a wide angle lens on it.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bodypilot90 0 #6 April 21, 2012 you mean this will not work http://www.gethypoxic.com/reviews-tests-hacks/hacks-and-mods.html all the way at the bottom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #7 April 21, 2012 If you want to risk using glue all over the camera it works. I have always found it easier just to get a camera that I don't have to spend additional time and money on just to get it to work.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twenty2two 0 #8 April 25, 2012 Quoteis there any difference in video between the 100, 110, 150 and 210? yep, the CX100 is a hybrid and has 8GB onboard memory while the CX110 required a removable SD card to store video files. There's also some differences in specs, like type ans size of CMOS sensor, etc.. The CX150 I'm not familiar with. The CX210 is basically the same camera as the CX200 and 190. None of 2012 sony CX cheapies have a filter thread, but the mod is real easy. Here's one I did this morning after seeing the method on gethypoxic.com. except I used 5 minute epoxy to get a little more working time and a hard plastic 30mm-37mm step ring. http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab245/bunny_bucket1/DSC06682.jpg If you try this mod I recommend running some masking tape along the edge and over the lense cover switch to keep the job neat and prevent glue from running into the lense cover switch and locking it closed. Peel off the tape while the epoxy is still soft but not runny. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrumpot 1 #9 June 27, 2012 So... will the cx210 (or any of the currently available cx models) be not wide-enough without the glue-on step-up "hack" applied to it? - - - This is rather disconcerting (read: bummer) if so. Somewhere, I thought I read that the latest even "thread-less" Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens built into the newer models went on their own, down wide-enough (to .26)? ...Is this not accurate? coitus non circum - Moab Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eetula 0 #10 June 28, 2012 i'm not sure, but i think you are talking about some of those hi-end cams(500 or 700 or something) sony has published that has some b.o.s.e stabilization witch is suitable for skydiving and also has quite wide lens without external lend added...

Mine just arrived today, its the cx760. Yes its comes with a .26 wide angle built in and comes with a step ring for 52mm. From the footage I've seen with it, the BOSS stabilization seems just as good if not a little better than electronic. I'll know more when I start playing around with it.

mircan 0 #12 June 29, 2012 BOSS and CX730 thread here. Judging from the footage in that thread, it is very good. Especially because there is no need for wide adapter lens, hence no resolution downgrade. If it just wasn't that expensive...dudeist skydiver #42 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
