skyblu3 0 #1 June 8, 2009 Has anyone seen or tried this? http://www.theconceptvillage.com/cameramini.html It's very small, may be fun to mess around with. Wonder if it would work for fun jumps and stuff. It's dirt cheap too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morrison79 0 #2 June 8, 2009 I don't know about that camera but look at these ones here. http://www.goprocamera.com/ A bunch of people at my DZ started jumping them this weekend. The quality of the pics/video is good and the camera is cheap. $200 gets you everything you need. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rhys 0 #4 June 8, 2009 the go pro is also being trialled for handicam still photos at a couple of dropzones i know of, you set the camera to take a still image at designtated time periods, and it sits nicely in front of the video camera under the lens. the photos are much better then frame grabs and they are already in a sd card ready to transfer to disk. i want one!"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you post a pic of a handcam setup. Do you use it with or without box?Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habid. . . Also in case you jump a sport rig!!!

Quality enough? I'm just curious how such a combined video/photo setup would look like, without getting bulky.Using your droque to gain stability is a bad habid. . .
