camera question

Recommended Posts

Recommend you go digital if you want decent footage from freefall.

I made the mistake, years ago, of buying a Hi8 camera (cost was the deciding factor). Mistake. The only footage that looked decent was when I was looking -up- at a tandem. Anything that let wind into the box created alot of tape flutter....Even with all the openings taped and having the camera in a box.

Does anybody know the
SONY HI-8 CCD-TR3300E Pal
camera? I can get one for cheap but didn't find much info about it. Is it alright for using as freefall camera?



Pal version is common in Europe, not at all in US. I'm not sure what you guys use in New Zealand, but it's not compatible with NTSC.

Kiwis are part of the evil PAL conspiracy.
The Aussies, Kiwis and Euros are conspiring to make sure that poor wandering Americans can't get decent dubs without expensive translators. I'm hoping that the state department will soon realize that this is actually a greater threat to our domestic tranquility than some silly bunch of arabs, and take immediate, forceful action against this conspiracy.
