skate film camera any camera name it

what exact name of camera would you recomend. 2500
dollars or less. it needs motion stabilizer, fisheye option, wide angle

op, and is mini dv. that has a handle like actual skate cameras do

 

Why does it have to be minidv? Have you seen this:

When you say "skate" camera, I assume this is what you mean, no?

 

k um
that is a piece of shit,no? ya and anyway mini dv cuz that what i have
firewire for. any PROS that would like to ANSWER MY QUESTION?

 

Well, I am a 'pro' I guess. I make my living producing video. Doesn't mean
I know what I'm talking about always. However, I don't believe anyone makes
a camera rigged as you describe as a stock item. I'm sure the mounting of
the top handle is custom. Now, you be more specific about what your
requirements are, what your budget is, whether camera weight is important,
whether you mean an external gyro-stabilizer or the internal anti-shake
feature? Are XLR microphone jacks important. Will you be using an
on-camera microphone. How important is having a large viewfinder? Wide
angle & fish-eye lenses are extra cost accessories that can be had at a
range of prices for any MiniDV camera.

Admittedly I have never seen a "skate camera" rig. Neither have most of the
other professionals here, I suspect. So give us more information or quit
your bitching.

Here are names of cameras: Sony VX2100 & Panasonic DX100. Good luck. Now,
go do your own homework. I'm done.

You know, I've talked to a few skateboard guys. Without exception,
I've found them to be good guys.

I want you to know that this guy is an exception to the rule. They
aren't all rude retards.

 

Most of us who make a living at video are still trying to figure out what
you're asking for. Just repeating yourself or saying "you know - - a
skate camera" isn't very illuminating. And deciphering all those
"text-er" keyboard shortcuts makes your posts all that much more difficult
to read. We just shrug and go back to "do-ing" video.

Here's a few tips :

- Use standard English. The folks most likely to be able to solve your
problem _are_ a bit older, and we're less likely to write you off that
way.

- Explain what a "skate camera" looks like. include a link to a picture
and we'll be more likely to "get it" Someone will probably have some
relevant experience with a similar rig.

- Answer the questions that Steve King asked you in his last post. There
are a lot of cameras on the market, and recommending the best one for you
will depend on those answers.
