What camera was the guy using on the recent Ohio show?
John from IA asks: What type of cameras are the ones they were showing in the recent Ohio show? They looked fairly small so I wasnt sure? Also, If you new of a mountain lion/cougar living in your area would you do anything different, maybe carry a pistol or just not worry about it thanks! Winke Responds: I contacted Jason and this is his reply: “Damon was using a Sony HDR-HC1. It’s the same camera that I use. They actually don’t even make them anymore but are for sale on ebay quite often. The only problem with these cameras is that they are horrible in low light and have a minimal but typical 10 power Sony zoom. I have a 2x lens I screw on if needed but actually the 10 power does fine for most bowhunting situations. The camera records 1080i HDV to a tape. They also do not have XLR inputs.” I think I would probably carry a gun if there was a known mountain lion in my area, but realistically, they are not likely to mess with an adult.
