Me right now: Jans bare steadyhand trick
1 year ago
Demo of my bare steadyhand trick holding my beloved 300 gramms Sanyo baby. (Do not forget to rise your left pinky and use your right middle finger to balance Xacti + Century Fish Eye). Also quite handy is Jans 'spider' pod trick with the velcro attached Xacti Remote. Brand name: Gorillapod from joby.com (€57)

It's perfectly true that a good handling technique is all important for those handheld shots. And like most things in life, it requires practice, practice, and yet more practice. Now, where's my tripod...

Thanks for posting this info!
I don't need to large of an apartment. How much Euros are they?
I will dream of your town and the kind people. Be well.
I read a few bad reviews by other users on the net saying that Xacti HD1010 isn't really good so, I thought I would like to ask your advice considering you own it.
Anyway, what is 60 fields-per-second means?
Thanking you in advance Jan. Cheers.
Every camera (even EX1) how good it was at first, someone will moan about something on it later! All Xacti HD1000 specifications explination tricks and forum at steves-digicams.com. So don't wait any longer just have pleasure from today on Faris! If you need an instructor I'll be pleased to come over! A Xacti is cheaper though! :-)
I like the use of the Gorilla...I think I'll get one to try it out.
I'm debating between that or the Manfrotto Modosteady, but the modosteady is a lot more expensive, and as far as I can tell from sample videos, it doesn't create much smoother video in the end.
This is a lot simpler and less awkward to use in public.
The Gorilla also can flip out to be used in so many useful ways easily, so with these kinds of techniques, it makes for a great budget solution.
Thanks again - please keep the tips coming! :)
Forgive my ignorance, but what is a "cu interview"?
That's typically Dutch!
Thanks for the tip!
Keep up the good work my friend, and greetings from Finland.!

Take care.!
I have one question. The gorilla pod you are using, there are several sizes, is the one you are using the largest they have to offer or is it the medium sized one? I believe they have the small medium and large. The one you use here is clearly not the small, but I can't tell if it is the medium or large.
Thanks again!

And now I'm trying to get my hands on that century fisheye too..
But I was wondering, how did you get the lens to fit? I saw that it fits 37mm's, and i looked but couldn't locate any step rings for 37 to 40mm.
I'm still kinda new to this, so any help or links to get me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

hey jan, i am thinking about getting a new (or actually my first) camcorder for my birthday, and i kind of fell in love with the xacti e1 (the waterproof one). my vimeo friends told me you know about many cameras, so maybe you can tell me if this one is a good choice or not?
thanks :D
