RMK 3 #1 July 9, 2013 I've stayed with my Sony CX, though I've come close to buying a GoPro, but always thought the form factor was shit - for skydiving or any other uses I had in mind (cumbersome box w/ large silly finger screw). I see this new JVC GC-AX2 http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-6500_7-57592831/jvc-fixes-up-its-adixxion-pov-cam/ Looks/seems skydiver friendly. Anyone know any more on them?"Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougH 270 #4 July 10, 2013 That looks pretty cool! I think two would fit pretty nicely side by side on a dual handicam glove!"The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 3 #5 July 10, 2013 It's also a piece of junk, IMO. Check out the review of the cameras we did here in December. It didn't make the final five of six. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMK 3 #6 July 10, 2013 This is the second version; I believe coming out in the US in late July. Supposedly better than first try. I'll follow your advice, but are you referring to this specific camera?"Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 3 #7 July 10, 2013 it's the same imager, different body/lens. It's an OEM JVC hired. I'd be very surprised if this next one using the same processor, is much better. That JVC put their name on this box really surprised me in the first place. I really like their Pro line of cameras; they have good designs. Stepping out of their MPEG2 realm didn't really work for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #8 July 10, 2013 That is too bad. I like the form factor. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parachutist 1 #9 July 11, 2013 DougHThat looks pretty cool! I think two would fit pretty nicely side by side on a dual handicam glove! Going by the specs sheet, the lens doesn't provide wide enough FOV for hc use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parachutist 1 #10 July 11, 2013 DougHThat looks pretty cool! I think two would fit pretty nicely side by side on a dual handicam glove! And they're saying it'll shoot video + photo simultaneously, but no details on that capability yet. I'm just glad to see that GoPro is getting some competition on this feature. source: http://newsroom.jvc.com/press-releases/camcorder/new-jvc-adixxion-action-cam-delivers-performance-and-feature-upgrades/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
