HD Camera

[fbalfano 0]

I'm in the market for an HD camera to mount on a WesPro helmet. I'm thinking of going with a Sony's HDRHC9 HDV Handycam® Camcorder with Full HD 1080 Recording and Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization HDRHC9.

Anyone use one of those and know if it's any good for skydiving? If not, what's a common camera for high quality aerial video? What to replace a PC 1000 with?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Post above yours.
Search HC9, you'll get a LOT of hits.

Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization

Which is what you do NOT want.

See if you can find a HC5 those are the best but not made anymore.

I've had good luck with an HC1. Better than an HC5, even. But big.
