scotts 0 #1 March 26, 2006 Anyone have any experience with this model? Picked it up @ Best Buy for $275. Open box. It'll mostly be used for filming landings, crazy antics on no jump days and eventually for helmet mount jumps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icon134 0 #2 March 27, 2006 the only problem you might encounter is that it doesn't have a LANC port on it... that is when you start using it for skydiving... you won't be able to use a Cameye with it.

scotts 0 #3 March 27, 2006 Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure what I would use for sighting once it's on a helmet, but a paper circle on goggles seems to be enough for intended uses. Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The111 1 #4 March 27, 2006 Do you know this to be true for fact? I checked on the Sony page and it says "LANC port: N/A" which isn't quite conclusive, but does not sound optimistic. I fly an HC90 which has a LANC port, as does the new HC96 (according to specs). The HC32 did have one also, so I find it odd that the HC36 would not. www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a CamEye... and it can be very useful...Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose I could go look for it at my local Best Buy Store... and it sound's like the hc-96 will have one... personally I'm hoping to be able to wait to upgrade for something HD (1080i) to be available...Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

Icon134 0 #7 March 28, 2006 I stopped by Best Buy and none of the Sony Cameras there had LANC ports (HC-26, HC-36, HC-46) The store didn't have an HC-96 that I could inspect. ScottLivin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has a tiny sensor that I tape to the RECORD light on the front of the camera, a pair of batteries and an LED that I tied to my ring sight. Crude, but it works well.
