Casio slow mo cameras

[fundy]

Just in case anyone was still looking at purchasing one of these, I see that Jessops have the FC150 on offer for £100 now and thought may be of interest (I have the FH100 and love it to bits, its a great tool for practising)

Just wondering if this is the model up or down from yours. Also have you got any vids on YouTube so I can see what it's like.

Thanks in advance

It appears to be similar in spec for the slow mo part, not so sure on the other features (I rarely use for other than golf), im not certain but I think it may be a slightly earlier model

should give you a fair variety, albeit all winter, be nice to do some in summer!!!! I think they were all filmed at 120fps, though you can go slower, this is ideal speed for me personally especially when wanting to watch back straight after a shot

They are great videos, looks like a trip to jessops is in order. Thanks for the post.

I've got the FH20, it's brilliant I use it all the time when I go to the range. It's a great tool for checking your progress when you are going through a swing change.

I was going to buy one of those, but people kept outbidding me

I've decided to go for the FC 150 as it is smaller than the FH 20 and still does 1000 fps, both good cameras though

No it wasn't you'll be happy to hear, I bought mine from eBay brand new a few months back I think it was £169. I'm sure it will serve you well Bob, I tend to use 120fps as the quality is a lot higher than at 240fps. They aren't great in low light but you can mess around with the shutter speed and ISO to get the desired result.

i have just bought the fc 150, whats the best speed to shoot your swing at?

 

[fundy]

i personally find that 120fps is slow enough for me and you get better clarity than at slower speeds, though i know some prefer 240fps.

id recommend trying those 2 options and seeing which you prefer

 

[Simbo]

the actual manual it came with is pretty crap, how do i actually get it to film in slow mo,what steps to go through on the camera? so it shows me my swing like the ones you have posted

 

[bobmac]

If you take the cd rom that came with the camera and look at the contents, you will find 193 pages of instructions on there in a pdf.

My FH-100 cost £143 or something off ebay.

Sounds like I got a good deal with that.

I took mine away to Auz and NZ and took some cracking pics with it too.

Only set back is that as far as I aware there is no remote trigger for it so can make filming on your own a pain.

Little bit slow processing slo mo stuff but that is no real biggie considering the size and content of the files.
