GoPro (narrow) Vs. Sony CX115

Recommended Posts

Hi All.

Typically tandem cameras use a camcorder type cam, such as the Sony CX115, with a wind angle adaptor. The CX115 is 37mm (35mm equiv). Or 16mm with a 0.43 adaptor.

A gopro4 is 28mm (narrow) or 21mm (medium), or 14mm (wide). Which seems perfect.

Is there any preferable reason to use a handycam, instead of a gopro with a ring site and possibly a wrist mount screen?

Thanks

One big thing is the vibration/shake. I actually did some testing with the gopro on Medium this weekend, and it looked pretty good. (need to see it on a bigger screen tonight).

THe more you zoom in, the more shake becomes a problem, and without image stabilization, just walking around with a gopro on Narrow can show the issue.

I've seen some competition gopro footage on either medium or narrow that while judgable.... was REALLY shaky. Could also have had to do with the helmets they were using...but IMO it wasn't video you could sell.

My dream camera- GoPro... with a Turend On...that has Image Stabilization and a medium fileld of view.
