im wanting to attach a step up and then use a fisheye on the step up, this seems like it would work perfect? I'm really new to cameras and this is my first one so if Im being silly please let me know

@charmsceptre25 күн бұрын
Do you know if glueing a step-up ring in order to attach a fish-eye lens is a good idea? My concern is whether the built-in lens being wide angle would cause distortion when trying to add another lens.
@productreviewstv81223 күн бұрын
All you need to do to find out is to hold the fisheye lens in front of the built-in camera lens and try it without gluing anything on.

You can either buy an SD card reader and plug it into your computers USB port or plug in the USB connector in the hand grip of your handycam into your computer"s USB port and then open the handycam display screen to alert your computer that you are not ying to charge the camera battery but instead want to view / transfer files onto a folder on your computer. You can transfer files onto your phone with a card reader with the appropriate plug such as lightning or USB-C plug whichever your phone has. Or you can insert the SD card into your computers SD card slot...if your computer has a slot for a Micro SD card then pop it right in. If your computer has a slot for a standard size postage stamp size SD card then place your micro SD card into an micro to standard SD card adapter and then insert into your computer. I have now listed several ways to accomplish what you want to do.

I just purchased another one for $229.00 in Sept 24, 2024. You need to shop around at various sellers as I think Sony may have just recently discontinued the model.

My husband went to Walmart and purchased 2 of these My Mini Noodle Cookers. 1 for our MOTORCOACH and 1 for our CONVERSION VAN. I had a Silicone skillet handle sleeve for use with LODGE CAST IRON, tried it on the pot handle of tge My Mini and it fits really well. You do need to hold it firmly since the MY MINI POT'S HANDLE IS INSIDE OF THE LODGE SILICONE HANDLE SLEEVE. YOU CAN FEEL WHERE THE MY MINI HANDLE IS INSIDE OF THE SLEEVE... IMPORTANT TO HOLD ONTO IT THERE! Doing it makes it much less likely to burn your fingertips when using the handle. Also, the SOLO STOVE 900 POT fits perfectly on the Grill Plate of the Cooker. More volume for more cooking options! Love ❤ these little Mini appliances, ESPECIALLY this cooker!

Hello, again my friend. Well, that is very clever. I see that you have been busy since last time when I mentioned that you should do a video that shows how you modified the CX405 lens so that you can attach lens filters over the lens. Still, don't forget my last request. How to use a cell phone or any other external mic system record and edit your sound rather than the on camera mic.

I have never tried to use my cell phone to record the audio. It sounds good. Do a video on how to do that. Or by using any other external recording device. I have a pretty good idea of how to do it. I have the app for recording on my phone. I think as you shoot start the phone recorder and record the desired sound. Then in editing drop the video and phone recording on the editing tracks. Take out the sound for the video by turning the volume off using the controls in the edit and turn the volume on the phone track up, using the controls in the editor, sync them. But still. You should make a video about it. A lot of people would like to know how to do that.

At the end of the first portion of this video their is a message that tells you how to run the CX405 camcorder using an external power source such as an USB Battery to run the camcorder for a very long time. You can also use a "Power Bank" phone charger by connecting the power cable mounted on the side of the camcorder to the "Power Bank" using the supplied cables that come with the camcorder. I have recorded and continue to record and use this method to record 8hrs. with no problem. I just put the "Power Bank" in a little pouch or fannie pouch and hang it on the side of the tripod or if i am hand shooting I just put the fannie pouch on with the "Power Bank" in it or I will put the "Power Bank" in my front or rear pocket. You can get a good "Power Bank" for $20.00 at any store that carry them.
