frost 1 #1 July 2, 2008 I just heard of a CX7 giving up after about 10 jumps, the service center said it was due to shaking, the circuitry didnt take it too well and failed. I am curious if this may be due to the OIS lens? It seems more likely then Sony electronics giving up due to skydiving - their cameras have proven themselves over the years. So the question is: If you have an OIS camcorder (CX7 hopefully), how many jumps do you have on it now? Any issues? I have about 10 jumps on my (new) CX7. No issues so far...

PharmerPhil 0 #3 July 2, 2008 I don't own a CX7, but I did put a couple hundred jumps on a TRV-900 that had OIS. It never broke (wasn't the best video though). I can't imagine a service center would know something had suffered too much "shaking" unless someone was foolish enough to tell them they used it for skydiving...

parachutist 2 #7 July 6, 2008 I've about 250 on my CX7 with no issues. It's taken a pretty good beating, too: no box, it just sits on top of the helmet hitting various inside parts of planes & doors sometimes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
