57. JAG35 PRO with Magnet Flip Trick on Sony SR11 Camc…

Check out tomguilmette.com for more info.
This is my second review for the JAG35 Pro. I like this adapter a lot for the low price tag. It works very well on my Sony HDR-SR11.
In this review, I talk about how you can use magnets from a Blackberry or iPhone holster to magically flip the image in the SR11 viewfinder. By doing this, you can properly see the right-side-up video footage shot through the JAG35 Pro. This “flip” does not work on all consumer cameras, but it works great on the Sony SR11.
Sony cameras are also a good match-up with the JAG35 adapters. I found that I could lock the focus on the SR11 and then set the silver dial to adjust the exposure. This allowed me to operate the camera in full manual mode.
In this video I take the JAG35 to Rumney Rocks, in New Hampshire and take some pretty pictures of a few rock climbers. Thanks to Dan and Tobi for starring in this little short.
For more information on this adapter, please check out jag35.com
I found vignetting and soft edges when I used my f2.8 lenses. This adapter is not as good as Letus products, but it works well for the $300-$400 price.
Special thanks to Matt Stapleton for his extensive internet research to find an easy “flip” solution for the SR11. And also, a friendly hello to Joe Stunzi. @jstunzi dear world, joe stunzi is the man!

i like the ending...
you hit your head hardly...:)))
The Sony SR11 is a 1080i HD camera recording to either hard drive or SD card using the AVCHD codec.
the extreme is more future proof if you get really tv serious!
plus i crushed the blacks a little in post to make them seem even darker.
the jag is definatly not as clear as the letus products. yes, i saw a slight haze in the jag adapter....but it is like 300 bucks!
plus, i noticed a "vortex effect" that seemed a little weird to me. the image had a center pinching effect and distortion i cannot explain.
i have not tested out the jag spinner.
my view on the jag is that you should buy this product if you just want to play with shallow dof. afterall, it is designed for cheap consumer cameras. and it is cheap!
if you are going to sell the footage, use shallow dof for broadcast or professionally, buy a letus!
zooming further sends the sr11 way out of focus.
the letus you can zoom to z99!
Please try to stifle a laugh while I ask this, but, do you think this might work with a little hacking and superglue on a Flip Video?
I noticed that the image is flipped right side up but is the left to right orientation correct? The subject in the viewfinder (the camera) seems to be incorrectly flipped horizontally.
@3:35...now I have to go back down and get the cam :)
On contrary, on the HC1, HC7 and HC9 (not sure about HC3 and HC5) you can select and lock shutter speed, then the exposure bar will control only iris + ND + gain, and the best part is, that each position of the slider on the bar will correspond to a known combination of iris + ND + gain. This gives you reasonable exposure control with ND holding 3 stops at F4.
Nevertleless, the SR11 is a very nice camera, and if it were not HDD-based and did not use Sony's own Memory Sticks, I would consider it. But I prefer a card-based camcorder and a more common media like SDHC.
The review itself is very good. Were you inspired by Philip Bloom's reviews out in the woods? ;-)
