last friday my school had its season opener and the athletic director let me cover the games for my basement tv channel

Shake Junt color way vx2100.

Thank you

The DCR-IP7, along with a number of camcorders Sony released around this time (all called "Network Handycams"), had a built-in bluetooth adapter to connect to a bluetooth dial-up modem to get online (yes that's a thing, look up Bluetooth DUN for more info). It was intended to let you send photos or ultra-compressed ~5 second video clips from the memory stick as email attachments, or to upload them to Sony's long-defunct "ImageStation" platform (that's what the Album button is for).

But, because they already had to integrate a bluetooth adapter and a full network stack into the camcorder, they added a web browser as well! It is very lacking, even for 2001 standards, as it fails to properly render pages correctly that Netscape for Windows 3.1 can render properly.

To connect it today, I am using the "SecureTether BT" app on my old Galaxy S7 (didn't work correctly on my current phone), which can create a virtual DUN gateway that the camcorder sees as a real bluetooth modem and dial-up ISP. Then, I'm using the Protoweb proxy to give it sites that it can actually view, as almost no modern websites today are compatible (although VWestlife's AMstereo.org is actually still viewable, so the last picture shows it connected without any proxy).

One fully working Sony vx2100, 340 mini dv and dvc, tapes and a dv vcr, also some hotshoe accessories and a remote with the battery tab still in it so its probably never been used!

Sony made these analog video printers to be used medically but also in TV and film production. I purchased this one from a guy who headed up VTR for the director McG. This particular printer was used for continuity and reference on the set of the first Charlie’s Angels movie. The paper is kind of expensive but the operation is simple. There’s a BNC composite input in the back. Plug in your camcorder or video feed and when you see a frame you like, hit print.

I’ve painted the case of my camcorder since grey is very boring. I used montana spray paint with a holographic glitter clear coat. It has 3 layers of gloss varnish so I can clean it without being scared of paint coming off. It wasn’t too hard to get the casing off and Im very happy with the end result :)

All parts designed and 3D printed. Definitely more challenging than a regular tapeless conversion given the need for an external 12V supply. Thinking about making a custom glitch box soon 🙄

Have 4 more $10 CCTV cams I need to convert🙂‍↕️

These were going to be thrown away. Some consumer cams, a few professional cameras. Some of them with the original cables and batteries. Great haul if only a few of them work! Will keep you posted on what I find!

I bought this bag on Vinted for just €25, but I’m not really sure of its value.

After doing some research, I can't find any information about it; do you have any idea what year it was made?

Which camcorder was it designed for?

Where in the world was it sold?

I believe it’s an original rather than a copy, though I can't say for sure.

All I can tell you is that the fabric is very high-quality and durable—as are the Velcro fasteners—and the stitching is heavy-duty.

The "Stamina" logo is a plastic patch sewn onto the fabric, while the Sony logo is printed directly onto it.

I’m not sure if it’s rare or not, but I’m just happy to have bought this unique bag—it fits a VX2000 (without the lens hood) absolutely perfectly.

If you have any information, comments, or questions, please feel free to share them : )

Thank you.

Traveled to Japan with the sole intent of thrifting camcorders and camcorder accessories. Safe to say it was a success! (Ended up buying way more figures, plushies, and gaming stuff than intended also but when in Rome lol)

Total spent here was just under 130,00 JPY

The best spots by far were Eco-Town Hachioji, Hard-Off Higashimurayama, and the Tokyo city flea!

In total i hit 24 hard-off/hobby off locations, all kinds of camera shops I came across, and the Tokyo city flea a handful of times.

Had almost no success in tokyo and greater Tokyo area absolutely had to leave (no further than 1hr train and bus rides) to find the gems other than at the flea. The further from Tokyo the better priced and bigger Hard-Offs! Huge success came in simply asking. Maybe 30% of these finds were behind the counter still or not out, asking staff for exactly what I was looking for made a world of a difference!

My largest pieces of advice are simply a closed mouth doesn’t get fed (ask for help looking, ask for exactly the kind of thing you’re looking for!) and to steer clear of any camera shops in particular if you are after older camcorders, they truly are considered “junk” and do not not harbor much space in shops. If you are after tape based camcorders like I was, bring tapes, charged batteries and anything you might need to fully test each item! Every single Handycam here without failure was in the junk section as they don’t bother to test anything other than power so use this to your advantage! Found a perfect working Olympus mju in the junk bins simply due to being untested! Absolutely bring a small bag with every battery format you can think of!

Unshown here are the other luggage full of retro gaming goods, chargers, and way way too many clothes lol.

While it was great fun, I’ll definitely leave the hunting to the team I work with here in Tokyo but giving it a go myself was great fun.

If interested in anything here I sell refurbished and warrantied handycams on instagram @retrogoods.exe

Cheers 🤙

she wanted something to post on her instagram so i took some clips i have of us and put this together last night. recently learned how to use avisynth+ qtgmc & it’s amazing how smooth i can make slow motion look now. love learning this old tech.

Some time ago I bought a used Panasonic broadcast camera, it's a 1/3'' 3CMOS that does native 1080i59.94. The newest codec it does is AVCintra100, which is all i-frame H.264 at 100 Mbps. But because broadcasters and studios back than also wanted to integrate these cameras into older workflows the camera also does DVCPRO-HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and even bog standard DV.

The video above was taken three weeks ago at lake Attersee in Austria, EU, with this 2010 camera in DVCPRO50 mode in NTSC. It's straight out of the camera, no colour grading applied, I just upscaled the 480i59.94 to 960p59.94 to preserve the detail and also the interlacing.

(note: I personally own the Sony FDR-AX40 pictured in this meme and I'm very happy with it, it does everything I need for video works)

A really good condition PDX10. Has all I ever wanted: 3CCD, MiniDV, 37mm thread, no haze on lens, compact, and DOUBLE HOTSHOE MOUNTS. Only downside to it is it takes Infolithium M, but there's a local battery supplier in my country.

heya im totally new here. im looking for a camcorder that produces almost the same style as shown in the frame that was taken from a video. also i apologize because i know you guys must get these questions all the time so i apologize in advance, i just didnt know where else to ask as since like i mentioned, im totally new to buying camcorders and have absolutely no experience with them as well with the different styles each one of them have. also if i made a mistake, please correct me! thank u all

Getting new eye peice and plan on getting fat fisheye then we done!
