Magnetic Riser Covers & Video

[skyninja 0]

Do they affect quality of recording with video cameras (for example the mini DVs)? The Relative Workshop site has a disclaimer about "magnetic storage media". Anybody have firsthand experience with this?

Why don't you just play 'chicken' on the railroad tracks? It would be a cheaper way to toy with death, I'm sure.

I don't think that thread is going to help him.

You're right, that post didn't help her - aside from a gentle reminder to search the forum database. I'm guessing now that few people have had firsthand experience (actually have used it for its intended purpose during a real skydive instead of waving objects over the magnets at close range) with it, so I apologize for wasting forum space.

Thank you, Dave, for the link. I think the source of the technology had the answer closest to the question I posed.

I just did 130 video jumps training camp with my new Vector, no problems.

I put an HDV tape directly on top of a magnetic riser, it didn't erase nor corrupt any data.
there was a guy standing there that claimed he "could see a softer picture" which is absurd, as digital media won't get softer; it's either there, or it's not there. Lots bits don't translate into a softer picture.

What do you expect? Some miniDV tapes are advertised with brighter colors .
