thanks for your help, gentlemen.. ended up using a drill and some elbow grease.. blues dont let life pass you by

i would like to widen the front of the d-box to fit my wide angle lens.. i need to shave about 1/4 inch on each side where the lens comes out of the d-box... i dont have access to a dremel. has anyone used sanders or other tools. i read the other posts, to put the camera in another room, wear a mask, and use a sealant after the clean up. i am looking for tool choice advice as i have never worked with carbon fiber. it is for a dc-42 with a .5 lens on a 25mm fitting. thanks dont let life pass you by

below is the comparative site for hc-36 and 46 which are basically the same... the 46/42 has a little higher actual pixel and i believe that has super steady shot and the 36/32 just has the regular steady shot... i just bought at hc-42 for that reason.. that was an NTSC but should be the same.. also look at CNET reviews they are very helpful http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/+INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_CompareProd-Start?CategoryName=dcc_DICamcorders_MiniDVHandycamCamcorders&ComparisonURL=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2eadvizia%2ecom%2fv41%2fAdvisor%2easp%3fUser%3dSonyCamcorders-SS%26Rnd%3d98 dont let life pass you by

hello, first off i have read all the current threads on the hc3 and trying to get some comparative information. i have been looking at the camera reviews of these cameras and i am wondering which has the best skydiving application. does the size/weight of the hc3 make it not so flyer friendly. is the hd capability used in commercial tandem videos. ? and if not, is the regular resolution that much better ? is the one chip on the hc-96 good enough for videos to the 3 chips on the pc1000. and can the hc3 take both video and stills,, has that been settled. dont let life pass you by

i have used both in my aff jumps and i hate the plastic handle, i cant find it as easily and cant grab it cleanly. the hackey is much easier to hold and toss.. i have not tried the monkey fist yet.. thanks for the replys all,, and clear skies dont let life pass you by

thanks for the help,, i have used both pc handles as a student and i love the hackey and hate the other.. thanks for the feedback,, it helped a lot dont let life pass you by
