bomb420 1 #5 July 19, 2006 One small tidbit, the HC44/46 don't have LANC connectors. Don't know if that is important to you or not. -TrunkHYPOXIC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidfreefly 0 #6 July 19, 2006 thanks friends for your tips, It would be better if the cam has LANC, but its NOT a determinant factor. I can fix the problem of not having lanc, with a piece of mirror paper on my altimeter so i can see the record light on the plane, before exit . About TRV cams i have searched ebay and i have found a TRV 33 and a TRV 14. Any help or experience with that cameras?? In one hand I have read TRV33 gives some problems of blur or zooming on deployment; About TRV 14 I dont know if it has good image quality (any experience???) on the other hand Im not sure of buying a second han camera, perhaps i prefer to spend a little more money and have a 2 year warranty. Im still doubting between the HC44/46 or the Hc96. There is a big difference in money. * Do you think the 1/5.5 CCD and the 1/3 CCD would make a big difference?? * And what about the 1070 vs 3310 pixel gross (690 vs 2048 pixel video actual). Do you think would notice a big difference filming my tandems? I dont want to spend money if there is not a big difference. * And what about the difference between the 25mm diameter vs the 30mm diameter?? would notice in the field of view?? http://www.advizia.com/v41/PDF/Comparison5.pdf?mcs=258 is a comparation between both cameras. Any one has jumped one of them?? thanks ________________________ DAVID DOVAL www.paracaidismogalicia.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stratman05 0 #7 July 19, 2006 what setup are people using for a TRV 19? I have an old TRV 17 that I don't use much anymore (burnt firewire port), and a Panasonic GS400 (About the same size) that I want to use to start getting into filming with (fun stuff). thanks, Ian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidfreefly 0 #8 July 19, 2006 I have gone to a shop this afternoon, both cams Hc44 and HC96 have good look for skydiving. Im still wondering same things about the CCD, about the pixels and about the lens diameter. ________________________ DAVID DOVAL www.paracaidismogalicia.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They probably could answer any questions you have about pixels and lens diameter at that very same shop...www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
