wayne8577 0 #1 December 9, 2006 Can someone in the know tell about the liquid lens for the cookie mxv helmet with a hc26 camera? Is it needed? What does it do? Etc? I just bought one for my son for X-mas with the cookie cutaway strap. Also is the Cameye2 needed? Thanks WayneHere's to Old Farts in the Wind! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 2 #2 December 9, 2006 You buy a lens depending on what flying he will do: generally, .45/.5 /.6 magnification for outside flying and .3 magnification for filming from inside the formation. The lens threadsize needs to match up to the camera (ie 25mm, 30mm, 37mm) or you get a step-up ring to make it fit. Generally you do not film a skydive without a wideangle lens so he'll need one. You buy a cameye to see if the camera is recording or not and to MAKE the camera record. Only useful if the camera has a LANC port (should be in the specs, it's a blue round port). If it has LANC (most cheaper models do not have LANC these days) then it's useful, yes. edit: you need a 25mm lens and it doesn't have LANC. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, the Cameye2 isn't 'needed' because the hc26 does not have a LANC port to plug it in to. http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Sony-DCR-HC26-Camcorder-Review.htm ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
