CamEye
II
Take Control of Your Camera
The CamEye II is specially designed
for skydivers but can be used in any situation where it's difficult to reach the
camera.
The first Video light
with camera control capability.
With a short click on the red button CamEye II toggles
between recording and standby. It's that easy to start and stop recording
- great for saving valuable and expensive DV tapes - No more unnecessary film
shots.
Extend the battery capacity
on your camera with CamEye II.
You can turn off the power to the camera at anytime. Hold down the
switch for 3 seconds and the power turns off. It's just as easy to start the
camera again, just hold the switch down for one second. Extremely handy in hold
situations. Remember that SONY camcorders turn them self of after 5 minutes in
standby.
Multicolor light for
additional information.
You can always see the camera status. BLUE light
indicates that the video camera is in standby mode and in 'CAMERA' mode. RED light indicates
that the camera is recording and in 'CAMERA' mode. QUICK FLASHING RED indicates
that the CamEye II will turn off the video camera power when the control switch
is released. SLOW FLASHING BLUE light indicates that the video camera is in
stand-by and 'CAMERA' mode and that one of the following problems exist; low battery,
less than
5 minutes of tape remaining or no tape in the video camera. An alternating RED
and BLUE light indicates that the video camera is recording and that one of the
following problems exists; low battery or less than 5 minutes of tape remaining.
A continuously SLOW FLASHING RED light indicates that the video camera is in
'PLAYER' or 'PHOTO' mode or that that the video camera is not ready to start
recording. The light will also flash red in transitions between the power on and
off. This normally takes 1 to 3 seconds.
Works with all camcorders
with a LANC port.
Any SONY camcorder with a LANC jack can be controlled via
CamEye II. Other brands also have LANC ports. Look at the camcorder list for
currently tested models. The CamEye II is always tested on real camcorders - so
the list updates on a regular basis.
CamEye II is not just a
light.
A microcomputer insides CamEye II controls the camera and
reads the status for you. CamEye II works in parallel with the normal control
buttons on your camcorder. This means that you can still operate the camera the
normal way.
