There are 3 main types of camera to film with, I always see snowboarders filming handheld with old video cameras that have a huge fisheye lens, then I see the people who use DSLR cameras with Glidecam's, also there is the people who just use a go pro on a ski pole or holding it with there hand. I want to know what kind of camera you use and why. Also if someone could tell me why most snowboarders use what I mentioned before that would be great.

I use a 60D cause I like still photography as well as filming. Snowboarders use HVX 2100s because fisheye is their life, and it produces a "raw" look that other boarders and skaters like. Im not a fan but it's all preference.

Angenieux Optimo 24-90 on a Red, a bit cumbersome at times. But the quality bro, the quality.

Sony a65 on a glidecam. I use the a65 because its really light for a DSLR, has super fast continuous AF while filming, incredible picture quality, and shoots 60fps in full resolution.

1. Why would you use that while skiing?
2. Debatable.

I really don't like the Sony DSLR's. A friend of mine has the A65 as well and he doesn't like it at all, trying to sell it to buy something else.

Oh wow, that reminds me of the days when I used to film skateboard edits.

I must have a million MiniDV tapes somewhere.

I use a t3i on a flycam with a tokina 11-16 and a directional shotgun mic. Fuckin amazing. IMO those big old handheld things are sort of dumb, I mean it does produce a very raw image but I mean, why would you want raw over like pro looking… And the GoPro is just am as fuck.
