Depending on how you're using the footage (no chroma keying I assume) I'm not sure you'd lose a lot if you had to record to HDV, especially if they're just quick cutaway shots. Of course using the...

So you're saying the actual housing would have special space for the camera's wide angle lens?

i notice on the descriptions of the two sony housings at B&H that for "wide angle" they say "no".

Do you know about recording the 24F HDV 23.98 footage?

Wide Angle?

Austin,

Could you fit the HV20's wide angle adapter on the camera with this housing?

Firestore FS-C Questions

Looking to buy the FS-C, but can't exactly tell what it comes with? Does it include a battery? On B&H it doesn't say it includes this.

Also, will the FS-C record HDV 24F footage in it's true...

For those interested, I think I finally figured out the best workflow (for me) for using Avid and 24F HDV.

Does the case allow you to control the camera easily since it's made my Sony and not Canon? You mention putting the remote in a water tight bag?

They make 16GB P2 cards now, so storage is not really an issue - you can get roughly 35 minutes of 720p HD on one card, so 70 minutes on two.

You can record on Mini DV tape in SD DV mode only.

Jay,

Just watched your footage... it was NOT shot at 1/48 shutter. Looks more like 1/100 or greater. You definitely have the "Saving Private Ryan" effect going.

You said you shot at 1/48, but...
