Maybe they meant Galileo (the Indigo class Video IO board). Good day and good light, T. Patrick O'Hara (aka. Lightwriter)
The only gyro I am familliar with is the Kenyon K-4. It screws to the tripod mount on the bottom of a camera/camcorder/telephoto lens, and provides SERIOUS stability (ie. 1 second shots with a 300mm lens come out tack sharp ). In the K-4 there are two precision gyroscopes sealed…
One other point to remember if you do need the multiple lenses of the L2. For about the same cost as the stablized glass, you could pick up a gyro (K4, etc.). while you would still need the glass, you could use ANY lens and have substantially better performance. This…
I'm puzzled that you consider the lower resolution of 3/4 to be a "higher" format than either Hi8 or SVHS. MII, Betacam, or D2, yes, but 3/4? It is more durable, but you lose resolution. By the way, for Hi8, Fuji M221E does fine for dropouts (it is a double…
There are several good choices in your list (the only one you left out is the TR700). I personally shoot the TR700 for industrial clients (95%), and rent a VX3 for my nature & better wedding packages (the other 5%). The L2 I've only used once; its great if you…

#TR700, Opinions?
Message #3786
I use one industrially, and it holds up great. The L2 is a better choice if you need long or superwide lenes. I wouldn't expect the control-L to give you frame accurate vtr functions, but if you are really wondering if the RC timecode is accurate, I have never had…
You might have trouble with the VM on that machine if you got the new PCI bus version. I am PCI and the only 640×480 30fps/60fieldps board I have even read about is the new Thundervision. I am still putting together info myself to build my first NLE desktop, so…
For low budget hardware solution, check out the December issue of Videomaker. Good day and good light, T. Patrick O'Hara (aka. Lightwriter)
Anyone have a number or address for Lightwave? I am Windows based and am already evaling trueSpace, with Topas and 3D Studio on the schedule. I have heard good things about lightwave, but have no current contacts. Ideas?, thanks. Good day and good light, T. Patrick O'Hara (aka. Lightwriter)

Hello all! I'm a small time Hi8 videographer and stock photographer (I also work with computers). I am still coming up with my requirements for my DTV suite, so I'm definately not an expert here. Hope to here from those of you who are (I may already know some of…
please forward info on these courses. I am new to Autodesk animation and need to learn all I can as fast as I can. Thanks. T.Patrick O'Hara (aka. Lightwriter)
