Wharewaka 0 #1 April 26, 2009 I want to build my own recording light. Some HD cameras don't have the light now. Does any one know how to build a simple light. Just a cable with a led light and plug that I can keep plugged in to my camera always and tape the to the camera. No other functions, just the light?

DSE 5 #2 April 26, 2009 HypEye already has one, the Mini. There is a LANC version or a D plug version. No controls, just a light. The 10 pin is well documented, Laszlo makes an adapter for the CamEye, and Extreeme Recall in Nevada makes one too. HypEye is the lowest cost, IIRC.

PhreeZone 20 #3 April 26, 2009 If you are using a Sony camera then the Hypeye Mini is a one stop solution. If you are using something other then a Sony what are you using?Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wharewaka 0 #5 April 26, 2009 Just what I need, the Mini, thanks! ( I use Sony) While I'm here, whats the name of the tape that I see many people use for their helmets and cameras. The one that leaves no marks. What market is that tape manufactured for, if I would go out and search for a store that might have it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put that into a search engine and you'll find lots of results. Mail order is probably best option for a decent price Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bwilling 0 #7 April 26, 2009 QuoteYou're looking for gaffers tape. BH Photo has it, that's where I picked up mine from, along with some other items... recommended on this forum, turned out to be a very good outfit to do business with!

The111 1 #8 April 26, 2009 I believe you can get gaff tape in a variety of colors here: http://www.tapebrothers.com/www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #9 April 26, 2009 Any general theatrical store will carry gaffers tape in a variety of widths, sometimes as narrow as .5" and as wide as 6". Cheaper there, too. I buy mine from General Theatrical in SLC, but there are many resellers. Just don't use duct tape. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
