    You should have gotten a firewire recorder, the clearclick uses RCA meaning you have a vhs quality camera that films only 30fps in your hands. The clearclick is a insult to vx footage, minidv has so much potential
    Also next time please turn off steadyshot when filming fish/wide angle. It makes your vig move
    Other than that the vid was amazing! Im glad you took the vx to film skating! Just got a subscriber
    Also there exists a hd camera just like the vx! The sony hdr fx1! (Or hvr z1 which is the professional version) it released in 2005 (2 years after the vx2100) and filmed hd video on minidv tapes!

    I saved what may as well have been a million dollars to me in 97 to buy two of these for my first doc. I loved them so much I seriously considered getting their image from the manual as a tattoo. These cameras were a miracle for filmmaking, for the first time, real digital video that was damn good and not cosmically expensive. It democratized everything in this world and I can’t overstate what a big damn deal these things were at the time. It’s kind of bittersweet considering the phone I time this from takes WAY better video.

    I've owned and subsequently smashed to bits 3 of these cameras over the last 20 years. The first one I bought in 2005 saving up money from my first ever job washing dishes so I could film my friends skating came in that silver cargo box. It had a little note with it that said it belonged to Colonel so-and-so and was used in aerial footage during Desert Storm. Thats one of the often forgotten pieces of the VX's history, it's first major success came as a war time documentary camera during Desert Storm. Between bombs and flying skateboards, these cameras have been through a lot! Pretty cool to see some minty ones are still out there.

    • @TightLoops
      @TightLoops 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@aldolega hmm. I'm getting even more confused now. I wonder if the camera was being used by the military before its public release, because it being used in desert storm is a well known factoid about it. I never even stopped to question the dates. I'm definitely not thinking about 9/11 though. I'm young, but I was still born in the 80's. Though the Gulf War was early enough in my life to hardly be a memory, 9/11 was a formative one, especially considering I lived in the middle east when it happened. I'm seeing several places repeating this statement, like this, from a RedBull Media article about the history of the VX:
      "As the first portable professional grade video camera, the Sony DCR VX1000 instantly empowered amateurs to produce television quality filmmaking at a relatively affordable price. Originally used by the US military in Desert Storm and later adapted by the adult entertainment industry and reality tv, the VX1000’s durability, grip handle, ability to pick up a full spectrum of colors and sounds sent an entire generation of skate videographers to war in the streets."
      But again, you're right, the dates don't make any sense. Its was definitely an important war time camera for the military. Here's a photo of it being used in '97 in Sarajevo.
      picryl.com/media/heather-odom-a-videographer-from-the-1st-combat-camera-squadron-charleston-a81f98
      And like I said, my first one had a small card with it that detailed its use in aerial bombing imagery, but having heard the Gulf War factoid before I just automatically assumed that's when it was used. I supposed you're right and its likely it could have been used in Afghanistan. Either way, its durability made it a popular camera for war correspondents and military agents alike, even if the Gulf War thing is just an urban legend. I wish I still had that first VX now, I'm sure a little sleuthing of the Colonels name and rank would've revealed the answers, but 20 years on, I don't think any of the original materials are left.

    "The focus is hard to pull because the sensor is so small I'm guessing?"
    Actually, see where it says "3 CCD" on the side? That's referring to it's three 1/3" sensorS. Pro and prosumer cameras back then had 3 monochrome sensors. A dichroic prism took the light from the lens and split it into red, green, and blue channels that each sensor recorded. It's kind of the only proper way to record a red, green, and blue value for each pixel in the image which is why ENG cameras still use three sensors.
    Since those cameras only record SD (345,600 pixels), using a bayer pattern and interpolating the values would have introduced way more noticeable artifacts and going with a higher resolution sensor would have required shrinking the photosites and hurting it's low-light performance.

    Hey man great video on the legendary vx, but I was wondering what camera or process you used to film this video? There was banding all over the place whether it was on your face, your car or the sky etc especially in the intro. Are you colorgrading in davinci? If so remember to turn the 3d lut intereptation to tetrahederal, should help the banding a bit, or are you in premeire? In which case you will be stuck with trilinear color intereptation which will cause a lot of banding. Or maybe you shot this in 8bit? Not too sure but I do know that a lot of sony cameras even in 10bit still struggles with color gradations, so maybe it might be just that, Also regarding recording from the vx, it would be way better/original dv quality if you bought a firewire dv/hdv recorder, there was a ton of different models that either used hdd or cf cards, like the very small and convinient sony mrc1, which will record the exact digital copy of a mini dv stream in dv 25mbps codec where you can just drag and drop the file into your nle of choice, that would be way higher quality then a crappy recorder recording out of analog composite signal

    if you recorded on tape it would be better because the best qualkity is with a RGB capable output with link like PERITEL, or YUV, you degraded the entire quality of the footage with this composite or S-video output that is largely inferior to a real RGB Peritel output,

    I have the CLEAR CLICK HD 4K converter for my CANON GL1 and my SONY Digital8 camcorders and it's a GOD SEND. Eventually all these tape-based camcorders are going to have some type of tape malfunction and if you still want that camcorder look, the best way is to use a CLEAR CLICK which you are doing. At least with the CLEAR CLICK HD 4K converter, it has a HDMI if you should ever use it on a HDV camcorder. - James D. Watkins, artistic director of PHOENIX PRODUCTIONS.
