Sony HDR-CX160 Tests

[duey723]

Clogs go with the flip ultra HD

[duey723]

Vlogs I would go for the flip I have the black 1 for around $200 Wich has 2 hours of internal memory the white one is $100 that has a 1 hour internal memory both good and durible

[spencereno2002]

Would this be good for Vlogs?

[MattMargoliz]

ill be sure not to use this camera *while skydiving.. haha

[hollandnigel]

Was this video made with the steadyshot switched off?

[trunk420]

@hollandnigel OIS was set off on this video but similar results occur with it on and with it set to active.

[hollandnigel]

@trunk420 Yeah I thought it would be bad with the OIS on, but didn't realise it would be that bad when it was switched off, We need Sony to take a few steps back and release a cheaper Electronic steady shot model, or a decent Bloggie style camera with Wide angle and a high quality picture

[JonathanMichaelSpain]

May I ask if there are any optional ways for an external mic on this camera ?

[Flabfactory]

How many memory card slots does the cx 160 have?

[Seteli12]

Does it have an internal speaker?

[trunk420]

@Seteli12 yes

[bowencampbell]

Do you think skiing with this camcorder would create a vacuum strong enough to create a similar flutter?

[trunk420]

@bowencampbell No way. The vacuum is caused by us being in a vertical position feet first. The burble is caused by our body and rig. While skiing you'll have clean air and I doubt you are reaching speeds of 160mph.

[kllvll]

does it take still pics while recording??

[trunk420]

@kllvll Yes you can with this camera

[JBPMX]

Is there always that circle around it??

[trunk420]

@JBPMX That is caused by a wide angle lens

[Hainrich96]

How do i Know what kind of lenses that fits this camera?

[trunk420]

@Hainrich96 Any lens with a 37mm ring or adapter ring

[Fishzaft1]

How many times do we go skydiving that u say that it's not a good camcorder?!?!?! For ground footage, like family gathering/sports/outside scenery this is a phenomenal "CAMCORDER" I highly recomemded

[trunk420]

@Fishzaft1 I do aerial photography for a living. If you look at some of my other videos that I shot with this camera I say its an awesome camera. It's just not a good camera for freefall. Most of my followers are skydivers.

[Daemon247]

@trunk420 Most of my followers are skydivers MMmm like Ezio ASSASSIN?lol

[trunk420]

We used a Opteka Ninja .2x since that is all I had available at the time. This is not a good lens for this camera since its way too wide and you get a lot of vignetting.

[paulbrian808]

ayo is that a diffrent lens like its circled and zoomed in?

[trunk420]

ois is off in this video. These cameras do not lock the lenses and therefore they flutter when placed into a vacuum

[Freeflymonster]

Did you get the same fluttering effects after switching off the ois? Do you think the camera can be used for freefly with steadyshot off?

[nottinmatterz2day]

What is with the ghosting, I think you recorded in interlaced and deinterlaced the footage

[delawai1]

hey does he have a external mic input

[serggy97]

good

but make some videos on earth please

tnx

[trunk420]

@serggy97 Here is a video I grabbed the night before that shows it in badly lit out door bar setting. See Rich Does a Suicide Tequila Shot in my videos

[trunk420]

@serggy97 Check out the bull riding one on my account

[LewiNkz]
