xl1 Lens cup
Is there a better lens cup one can buy for an XL1?
I find when filming outdoors stray sunlight sneaks in and make it hard to focus! Tony |
Hello Tony,
Hmm, Optex sells one that was actually designed to protect the color LCD from sunlight damage (rather than your eye). Look at: http://www.optexint.com/digivid/xleye.htm The "I-Cuff" is probably more of what you're looking for. There's a review at: http://www.dvformat.com/2001/08_aug/reviews/cwdlicuff.htm The product's site is at: http://www.i-cuff.com/ I've never tried either product but have been similarly interested in a more comfortable replacement. Happy New Year down there! |
"Chopper"
Tony:
I just saw the film "Chopper" (at least, that's what I think the title was) about the real-life street hood who used to knock off other criminal types. Was the characterization in the movie on the nose; I mean, I thought the movie was somewhat lenient toward and forgiving of Chopper, who supposedly now lives on a farm in Tasmania. -- Alan |
Thanks Ken !
I will look at this site for the lens cup! Yes Alan, he lives on a farm about 20kms from Hobart where I live, yes the film probably made him seem like a kind of folk hero? I wouldnt like to meet him on a dark night! Maybe I could take my Xl1 down one night and get some footage, but camcorder and videographer might not return in the same condition? Tony |
Off-topic: Chopper
I've not seen the film "Chopper" so I looked it up in Roger Ebert's reviews. Looks interesting.
