TRV 950?????

[eblaauw 0]

Hi, have you guys ever tried the new trv950, I had the old one but there was many problems with the stabilizer. Does anybody tried this new version??

Yes, it was an expensive experiment. The 950 uses the same floating iris as the 900 used. Same problems with flutter. Buy a TRV30/PC115 - you'll be happy with the image, and you can use the extra $$$ toward a digital still.

Hmm.... I have a TRV-900, but no flutter problem

How do you shoot, over the top looking down, underneith looking up, headdown?

When I jumped a 900 it only presented a problem when in positions other than over the top, when the lighting conditions and background were not constant.

Also, just for clairification, it is not an issue of flutter, it is the "floating iris" that causes the image to shake. With inconsistant and rapidly changing lighting conditions the iris would not know where to constrict, and would jump around, making the image appear to shake.

If the 950 has the same system, spend your money on something else, it is not worth the chance / likelyhood that it will not work well. As far as I know Sony did not use this system in any of their other cameras.

Have you tried manually setting the shutter speed on your 900's? A friend did it and never had a problem (not sure what he set it to)

Ahhh.. That explains a lot. I have my TRV-900 mounted on a flat-top and do only over the top or level video.

I tried just about everything there was to try, shutterspeed, white balance, different modes... even called Sony about a mechanical fix, with no luck.

If all I did was over the top RW shooting I would have never taken it of my helmet... But for FF, Student, and the underneith shot it was not the best selection.
