Shooting with the AS15 at high bitrates
The Sony HDR AS15 puts out a clean HDMI signal including the sound from the microphone, which means you can record externally. I recorded with the Atomos Ninja2 using *144Mbps* Pro Res. The camera was recording at its native MP4 at *16Mbps*. Both recorded at 108030p. The uploaded file that contains both types of recordings (two scenes) is MP4 108030p at bitrate 26Mbps (combined in Vegas Pro). Thus you can see if there is a quality change if the bitrate were higher than what the camera uses. The internally recorded clip precedes the (original) Pro Res clip for each scene. See any difference?

Re: Sneak Peek at Sony POV
Tested it out today on my car. Does not like heat. Was around 95 here and it keep shutting off. Sony needs a more open case for it.

Re: Sneak Peek at Sony POV
I wondered about the heat/sun factor. Maybe just painting it white would be an improvement?

Re: Sneak Peek at Sony POV
I walked away about 15 feet and it worked. Also worked inside the car when mounted on the back.

Yes, the case is a problem and fogging is a problem and I had fits playing with the slo mo mode. It is not a P&S camera IMO. It also has a lot of potential I think. |

Re: Sneak Peek at Sony POV
I haven't had an issue with fogging yet. I also haven't had heat shut it down yet but I did notice enough heat while shooting some time lapse's that I built a mount that let it be exposed for that.

Re: Sneak Peek at Sony POV
Thanks a lot for those videos Duane. Those sort of shots are what I want one for.
I just had a look at the Action Cam at my local Sony Store and it looks pretty nice but it is a little disappointing that you always need the case! I will definitely be giving my drill a workout if I get one.

Re: Sneak Peek at Sony POV
Look at Woody's posts Laurence. He came up with a cheap and very usable (I made one) out of case mount.
My only concern about using it out of the case is that on many POV lenses (Especially GoPro) the coating on the lens is extremely soft and easily damaged. They just don't go to the extra expense of using hard coatings because it's supposed to be used in the case. |

I had originally thought that the heat issue was something internal that would just cause a card not to write or something small like that but this thing can get crazy hot. cloud time lapse shot for an hour on Sony HDR-AS15 - YouTube |

Re: Sneak Peek at Sony POV
How do you charge the battery in the camera ?
