Final Cut Pro_lipstick camera
Posted by Michael Noble on February 7, 2007 at 4:24 amDoes anyone know of a good lipstick camera dvr setup that works well with FCP?
It seems there are decent setups for Baja Racing, Nascar and Motorcross but some do not work
well and are a little buggy with formats in FCP?Thank you very much any and all help.

February 7, 2007 at 4:42 amHow would a lipstick camera be buggy with FCP? You still have to plug them into a deck like DV or a bigger deck like a BetaSP. You can edit all formats fine with FCP. What specific issues with FCP are you referring to?

February 7, 2007 at 2:03 pmIt’s only standard definition, so it’s life span is pretty short. You might want to wait for an HD version. Here’s a link to more info.

Yeah, I’ll second that. Cameras aren’t buggy with FCP, formats are.
As for the camera you can go to http://www.markertek.com and look at the Helmet Cam. I wrote a review on one a while back when we did a Lamborghini project and attached the camera to a Diablo while it ran around Road Atlanta. Excellent camera and can’t beat the price. You feed it to the camera / VTR of choice.

Not sure when that will be. Even on NASCAR in camera coverage, the cameras are all SD so I’m sure if/when a liptstick HD camera arrives it will be very pricey.

I don’t know if you’ve seen this yet, but this little camera is very impressive.My previous employer has just finished R&D on an underwater housing for it to use in pole cam situations for water and or for heavy duty protection.

February 13, 2007 at 4:09 amThe camera looks good for sure but now I am looking for the drive that goes with it
and make sure it has the correct format for FCP.
