@DeviinGilly Yea, if you're using a Handycam that doesn't have threads, really the only way to do it is to, like Josh.c said, glue a step-up ring to the front then get a real fisheye. I used a homemade fisheye like 4 years ago, it's not even worth using, they look like garbage. You couldn't even tell what was being done.

nice

 

[ChrisPollak.]

Haha wow I just bought a trv900 today
Edit: any tips on it or sd in general?

not in any specific order

1. don't rewind
2. run down the batteries 100% before charging
3. only use 1 brand of tapes (sony premiums if you have a sony camera)
4. head cleaning tapes...
-only use em in a pinch, they wear down the heads
-never change brands of tapes, but if you do.. use the head cleaning tape once in between the time that you switch the tapes
-use it if your video quality drasticly drops
5. steadyshot off with fisheye
6. i could go for years about setting it up ex: custom presets, whitebalance, shutter speed, exposure etc... youll generally have to reset everything if you change spots/time of day
7. try not to be constantly changing the tapes, wears down the mechanism

these are just some general guidelines for tapes cameras to go by, theres obs alot more to it.

gl edit i released today

no vig? and gl1 colors are sweet, almost as good if not better than vx1 colors hahahah. lots of saturation? haha

 

[zach poon]

^ this is true

 

[zach poon]

no vig? and gl1 colors are sweet, almost as good if not better than vx1 colors hahahah. lots of saturation? haha

all done in post my dude, the colors look hella crusty when not color corrected, and yea no vig i have to go get spacers for it, im gonna call up my local camera shop

 

[ChrisPollak.]

god damn was that real??? fucking RIP haha my first real camera was a trv900. i kinda want to get another one and pretty much use it as a gopro haha

nah it kinda shit the bed on me, so we thought of a creative way to destroy it. kinda mimicked the alex doyle vx1 break haha.

 

[Chrispy]

Very very nice. Come down to oxnard with the boys one day i'm over having to sesh with only sk8rs ahha

 

[Chrispy]

Didn't google anything b4 i posted learned that vx repair is not that bad price wise. Do what you want lmao

 

[ChrisPollak.]

don't buy a vx. Like yeah it is a really good camera and argueabley has the nicest looking footage, idk if you are really down to pay all that money for repairs and stuff. The GL looks plenty good for the price

you are a retard. nobudy listen to this guy please.

goddamit, its posts like these that make me log out of SR for weeks-months on end.

 

[Chrispy]

you are a retard. nobudy listen to this guy please.

this time change did a number on me. Googled it and vx repairs look reasonable. I take back my statement. But what is wrong with a canon gl?

 

[zach poon]

it's all preference trust me the gl colors suck fat dick, like massive massive dick, but if your pretty post heavy and now your way around color correction then it's fine, and i just got lucky with the deal for the gl, and both gl's and vx's will have the same problems basically (mic sag, fucked heads, etc.) it all matters what you do to prevent these measures: only using one brand of tapes (i prefer sonys) never playback on your camera or capture on it never ever ever (i use a canon optura to capture and the only tape deck left at my school, and foam block for the mic and oh your gonna be spending so much time editing way more then on a dslr
