I found this thing in my basement, it looks legit for a SD Mini-DV cam. But i can't find it anywhere on the web. Was it made before the dawn of the internet? Heres a pic of it in my room. :

Anybody know where to find info on it?
I might start using it till i get my HV40.

 

[D= its sam!!]

It will be fine for scooter videos. Capture with firewire and you get decent quality. There isn't much to say about any SD consumer mini DV camera, they all pretty much do the same thing, cept some have better colors/lowlight/controls.

Thanks Brian, except could you tell me what fisheye i would get for it? This is what it says on the ring.

18X Optical Lens
3.9-70.2mm
1:1:6
M49
P=0.75mm


I don't see the filter size in that but maybe someone else will understand it.

See if theres actually threads on the front of the lens... None of those numbers you posted are thread sizes. If it has threads theres a symbol that is an O with a / through it with 3*mm next to it. If theres not threads just don't film fish or jb weld a step ring to the front

Edit : Thanks, ill do that. Probably won't film fish right now though.
