I also wanted to mention that I've had nothing but positive experiences with APS. They're great folks to deal with.
Hi David Glad to hear about your Mediavision board. Tres cool. I'm afraid that I know nothing about MPEG codec boards. But I'll betcha somebody in this cyberhood does ….. stan
Martin !!! Thanks SO MUCH for all this data. I need to let all of this percolate. I'll be back to everyone with more thoughts and questions. Yow, what a fine little sound-gathering education I'm getting !!!! stan Yes, the right tool for the right job ….. yes, indeed …..…
Hi Steve Honored to have you splashing around here in my pool of ignorance. Thanks for the lovely jump and splash. ( actually, nah, no pool, ouch, that's concrete, but more like CyberCrashCourse in Microphonology numero zeerow. Wheee ….) Okay: so: the pinned head follows up: Are there stereo versions…
Hmmm. Excellent questions. I need some time to chew before responding with any good answers and followup questions. However: some initial thoughts: my performance goals in order of ranked importance are: [0] not hear the &*%$%^& camera mechanisms when I'm shooting quiet stuff [1] work reasonably well outdoors when shooting…
Hi Martin Wow. More great data. Thanks to you, and everyone on this thread. This is a very useful education for me. Question: is the Shure SM57 the sorta entry level reasonable mike in their line ?? (( I think I'm leaning towards a wired mike for now, and will…
Hi Robert Wow !!! A great set of data !!! Thanks so much. I'll need some time to digest all of this, and may be back with questions, but meanwhile, wow, thanks, this is GREAT !!! stan
Thanks Tim. Yes, this helps a lot. I know nothing about mikes, and have no idea of what to look for in a good wired or wireless mike. On the zoom: yeah, the sony tr101 camera has two zoom speeds, depending on touch: too fast and way too fast. The…
Hi Tim Sounds great !!! I'm looking forward to it. Time to go down to the nearest magazine rack and check out your 'zine, I think. I'm taking the trip of a lifetime in May to Africa, and I'd love to have a steadydevice to pack along …. stan good…
Hi John Yep, I'll be reporting. ((( my own rule of thumb, after years in this cyberworld, is to take all hardware claims and divide by 2 ))) (something binarily appropriate there) My own needs are simple: I'll be doing little video nuggets to sprinkle in with other stuff. So…
#Intel Smrt Vid Rcrdr Pro
Message #1916
Just got the brand-new version of Intel's video capture board, the Intel Smart Video Recorder Pro. I had it on backorder from CDW (800-800-4CDW). $400 or so. Showed up last week. I'm in a work busy deadline mode, so won't get it installed for a bit, but will post reports…

#SteadyCam Power Cord
Message #1915
Hi Tim This is very interesting (your mag's shootout). What will be the issue number and month-on-the-cover of that issue ??? I need a steadicam-type product, but haven't been convinced by anyone's literature yet. Also, I'm sure there are products out there I don't know of. So far, when I…
Hi Sandra Yeah, my camera is actually the one that Ricoh puts its name on. But they're all really the same TR-101. Mine has had no repairtype problems. I've shot 70 hours of tape the past coupla years. No time in the repair shop. I think you got a lemon.…

#Remote Mic for Hi-8 Cam
Message #1425
What good luck to find this thread. I have a Sony tr-101 Hi-8 camcorder, and it is wonderful, other than: [1] camera noise that shows up when recording soft sounds [2] way-too-fast zoom The zoom I can't do much about, but I've been planning to get some kind of external…
