DSE 5 #2 March 4, 2007 Apologies for the time it took to get these online. I've been traveling. This is one of two Cookie boxes for the HC3. The HC5 and 7 fit in the HC3 box, but, because Sony went from a 30mm lens to a 37mm lens on the exterior, two problems occur. the radial center of the lens is now not in the center of the Cookie box, but a Dremel will fix this very quickly. I've already modified one box (it's at the DZ, however). The HC5/7 is *slightly* shorter than the HC3, so you'll have more room in the back end of the box. You'll need to Dremel/cut out approx 1/8 around the top edge. If you go too far, you'll remove all of the lens housing 'lip' (which you probably won't want to do.) The arrows indicate the gap caused when you add a wide angle (In this shot, it's a Royal .5 37mm lens) that will go away once you Dremel the top half of the box' lens housing. BTW, the tape on the upper half of the box was put there to help prevent the box edge poly coat from chipping, as those chips are very sharp, and very bad for the camcorder's insides. Once the top is Dremeled, the box will close properly, as you can see it does without the lens on. The only problem is that the lens isn't on-center, and as such, the box will show in the upper right of the frame, even with the cam pushed all the way forward.

Cookie 0 #3 March 5, 2007 Hey Dougg, Nice work. We have just had our hands on the HC7 and have modified our tooling to suit the minor differences in these cameras. Here is a link to some pics http://www.cookiecomposites.com/news/index.htm Cookie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites DSE 5 #4 March 5, 2007 Cookie, was glad to hear David got you set up, and that you were able to modify the box. What further did you do with the original design, past widening the lens bezel?
