The fool that MrT doesn't pity
Well let's get this forum started then....
Equipment used:
Sony TRV330 digital camcorder with 25x optical zoom (Ø37mm lens).
This is roughly equivalent to 10x magnification binoculars.
The cam uses Digital8 tape (none of the miniDV models available at the time could boast such a large zoom)
Velbon D700 tripod - light enough to be easily carried, sturdy enough to be worth carrying. Good fluid action. Left or right hand use.
Sony VCLHG2037 2x teleconverter. Gives a definite 2x upgrade with little loss in light gathering or clarity.
Some example footage with both lenses to follow.
What equipment are the rest of you out there using?
