Yeah I did kind of jump the gun I guess. I told him more detail on the lens because there are some terrible under $40 fisheye lenses out there. I didn't expect mine to perform so well. I mean think about it, a 'good' lens off B&H is what, $300+??? My $40 lens is great, no complaints. Plus he does skate videos, if he breaks his lens it's not hard to just buy a new one.

OK now I get a little bit... u guys r talking about the lens of the camera rite....
Good lens make good shotos...

HAHA ah yes a 'fisheye' is the effect a lens produces on an image when it get's reeaalllyyy wide, in 50mm camera terms, 35mm lenses and smaller will produce some gnarly images. Some lenses however are designed so it doesn't have that barreling (aka fisheye) effect, but it creates a different kind of distortion. The Raynox HD6600 is an example of a wide angle lens that does not distort, good for making normal videos.

That particular bike was a 6in/150mm All-Mountain bike, a Iron Horse Sachem 4.0, which didn't last long and got a huge crack in the downtube. So then I upgraded to a DH bike, a Iron Horse Yakuza Kumicho (8in/200mm rear) and a 66 fork up front (6.7in/170mm).

What kind of fisheye is on this?

If you literally type in ".42x lens" into ebay it's that lens, doesn't really have an official name, buy it from a "top-seller". For under $40 it is great, it's quite wide without huge barrel distortion which is what I was going for, it's not like a death lens or .3x so it's a great inbetween lens. I used it on my trolly shot in "Just Ride - XC". Worked well in HD.
I'm using the one that is 52mm and 58mm thread (includes stepup/down ring) I'm using a 37mm to 52mm stepup ring on my HDR-HC1.

Holy crap you got the same camera as me. I'm replacing mine (it broke twice) with the more pro version HVR-A1U, has better audio. The camera is a workhorse and very tough, produces very good images for it's size. But unfortunatly it is not very good in low light dude, especially if you're doing night skating sessions. It is horrible compared to the VX1k's/2k's. Stock lens isn't all that wide so I'd get a raynox HD6600 (.66x 52mm NO barrel distortion, very good lens for this camera)

Also it might be hard to tell, but there is literally none of that color blending/hazing at the edges of the images, for the .42x lens and the raynox .66x lens.
The raynox HD6600 is about $120 from B&H photovideo, super good lens if you don't want any of that barrel distortion.
Post some footy of the HC1 when you get it.
