i might have slightly cracked a smile if you actually posted the photo

[sven thorkel]

yeah, i dont think ive posted one thing on there with my gl2 since i just pretty much got it. here's some test footage with it first day.... notice i left steady shot on. hah

yes! I've seen this midnight sk8 pimp at millz before, who is he?

[PAWL]

nice to see theres other filmers on here. i run a canon gl2 with mod raynox mx-3, good camera if you know how to use it.

i have the same thing, but could you explain the "mod" part? i just stuck that thing right on there, what exactly is the mod?

[qwertypoiuy]

its when you add a part from this other lens to the original raynox so it makes the raynox a lot wider. its a lot wider but not quite as wide as a mark one.

[MFS]

you use a sony 0.6x wide angle as a back element to widen the lens. quality suffers a bit but it still better than spending 700-900 on a mk1

i had the widened raynox for a little while, but its just not the same as the mk1. i found a mk1 for 600 and it was worth it.

i wish i could afford something from century but its just to damn expensive at this point in my budget, so raymod for me.

[Say Hi]

The Mk1 has to be so sick to film with.. I wish I had one, but it's just too much money to spend on a piece of glass. I'll just stick with the Raymod, it's a good lense too.

[bizarro gub]

alright now lets take a poll, who here worked hard for there camera?

[qwertypoiuy]

i worked all summer long for both of mine.

[jesus0nvi4gra]

I don't know how hard I worked, but all the camera stuff I have bought was with my own, earned money.

Hey, sorry for bumping this back, but I was wondering if anyone could help me.

My camera recently died and my real dad let me borrow his Hitachi DVD Camera until I get the money to buy a new one. I've heard nothing but bad reviews about this camera, but figured it would be STUPID to turn down a free camera.

I know you can play the discs back in your computer and/or DVD PLAYER, but the problem is the camera will not finalize the disc. It gets to about 80% and errors every time. Which is something you have to do to play it back. I've researched this problem online plenty and it seems a lot of users of this camera have the same problems, but there is never a straight-forward answer. I even tried using ISOHunter to import the clips. Just wondering if anyone on this site has any experience with this.. Thanks.

I know this is not what you want to hear, but dvd camera's are pretty bad. if you're into filming skating go miniDV.

No, but when I'm shooting other stuff I use other cameras, not the pd150.  It's a nice camera and everything, but I use the equipment that the company I do work for has.

[Universal Remonster]

ya but how'd you pay for it

[410]

I was working two jobs before I went to school in DC, thats how I payed for it. 

[bumptobar]

raymod


mk1


If you ask me, its worth it, and essentially you are only borrowing it because you can resell the mk1 for nearly the same price you bought it for.  Id fully recommend it to any person serious about filming.

You have a valid point there. I see mint ones go for like 600-650 when new ones are 700.
