swoopdaddio 0 #1 January 31, 2008 Anyone been jumping an SD card recording camcorder such as any of Sanyo's Xacti series? Is it generally skydiver friendly? Can it take a wide angle lense? I just want it for coaching, so not too fussed about super high quality, cheers for any help.25 years & still lovin' it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #2 January 31, 2008 You won't get too much positive response on here, but we had a guy jumping a tiny little SD card camera (panasonic I think?) 4-5 years ago and it worked great. He had to have a machinist make some kind of wide angle adapter... not sure exactly what he had done. Quality was just fine for internet or standard def TV. Really seemed to work great, except for no lanc. Don't know about sanyos... i think you can find a sample or two on SkydivingMovies.com. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
