chuckmeister,     we just wanted to say Thanks for
  seeing a bunch of us reservist here in Mosul finally
  got a cam that can keep up with the elements and  
all the guys here sending images back home via   
e-mail... just like you said we Could! Now if you 
    could just swing one of those OLED 50" our way...

   Thank You Gunny SGTS Morrison, Gerber, Ski   
 and Davidovich. You are not alone, last count    
 was 32 units in country but because of APO and 
 FPO I am not sure which are a shore and which 
       are in Afghanistan as well. But I know your weather
     is a big factor. Keep it stored even all the time and 
      you should have no problems. 3rd ID tells me they 
    are using cheesecloth with rock salt from the Mess
          hall to eliminate any moisture which can be an issue. 
      Good Work men.  Finish Up & Get the heck Back!
That's a meister Order   

       cm...  I have an Under Water housing problem that     
      I sure could use the meister's  help... it involves water  
   condensation putting the M2 inside it's air tight       
    housing and going out side when its hot & humid ;  
            do I need to use air conditioning?    Kim downunder       

   Aloha: kim-down-under... YES, you can use the All 
  Weather housing while going from air conditioned  
 places and vehicles to warm humid out doors and  
 Not be bothered with condensation issues and you 
  can also add a small bag of rock salt or silica gel to 
         act as a moisture absorber inside the housing as well.    

  I have a tough question for the meister. I owned an   
  MX5000 and now have the new Mamba2. I could   
      never,  it seemed... keep my protective filter on my     
      MX5k  when using the All Weather housing as the fit 
    was so tight.  Is that true with the old Mamba1 and    
this NEWER Mamba2        All Weather housing?

  Good news Brittany even visiting there in England     
 with your NTSC version of the Mamba2 there is an 
   inner Black ring that you can remove and install your
   protective ND, Skylight or UV filter and now make a
perfect seal with the Housing chamber sealed !

What oh-meister are some of the uses other than the 
        obvious Under Water use are there for this UW housing?

 To name but a few: it is an Excellent storage and transport
     case, it works for hot, humid, sticky, rainy, wet, damp areas.
     It is even better for cold, wet, snowy, sleet, icy, frigid, windy
   elements as well. On an island near salt water, spray, sand.
 On a mountain top be it Everest or your local hill top, on 
   boats, airplanes, skydiving, bungee jumping, dirt bikes, off 
  road SUV, camping, white water, skiing snow or surf and 
 inside a NASCAR racing machine. Bikes, scooters, jet ski
  and or a Ski-Doo.  This M2  will Go Wherever You Go!

Mister-meister man... can you tell me if I can use my new
Mamaba2 All Weather / Under Water housing with the    
  MX6000, MX5000 or GS70 too?   mike-meister in Miami

       Good question South Florida... NOPE!  The MX6000 not    
   only has it's own dedicated housing that works. But along 
http://www.supervideo.com/2003i.htm
with the MX7000 the MX5000 has it's own housing.       
THREE Separate Housings!
For those of you engaged in sports like High School foot
      ball and baseball games, you CAN drill a small indentation     
    underneath near the rear cover so the waist battery cord is   
       allowed to leave the chamber. You'll loose the Under Water   
        integrity but many of you have said; "Not an Issue meister!"    

  Bad News area, 'the 9 hour waist battery' will not fit Any
         of the above units inside their respective Housings and some 
              owners of US versions have reported Issues with Circuitry!        
Please Read below...

  chuckmeister, I could not think of anyone to turn 
to in my dilemma as I was told to not go for the 
     IMPORT version and buy a USA Pana whenever  
      they get around to letting us have that model.  Well
   the MX5000 look-a-like is here and I bought it. I  
       was also told where to get the housing. Now I just   
                 found out the hard way... they are incompatible?               
dean-meister - dead in the water in Detroit  

   Afraid you ran aground the Yee Ole Panny Strip 
   the feature trick.  The Electronics within the cam 
     have been what is euphemistically called the Pana
          Dummy Down effect. US versions have the circuitry 
   disenabled to work with these Rare accessories.  
Now...   Who,
    can tell What-All other items have been affected or 
          WILL be affected in any future US would be imposters?

meister I notice on the chat rooms and the forums they 
call this turkey a NV-GSl00k-k something or the other
and you say BLACK MAMBA2... can you explain?

Can we all say IDIOTS? Guess not... This cam we have 
     here is not available anywhere in the world at the moment 
  & that is the way Pana plays this game. You are the bait.
        This camcorder replaced what? an MX5000 which replaced 
         what? An MX3500 which was the replacement for the what?
        MX3000 which replaced the MX2500 which replaced the...
          you guess it MX2000... do we see a pattern developing here?

         If you feel like getting jerked around by a chain then you & 
     the fools that don't have A Life & sit and Pontificate 24/7
        and apparently like to hear them selves sound important or 
     what-ever gets them to sit in a stupid chat room all day... 
can follow like sheep right off edge of the earth.

  I march to a different drum & care less their mumblings!
  Besides back in May when I asked many of my MX3000
 and MX5000 owners what would they like to see set up
  for a future MX model they voted the kit you see as the 
BLACK MAMBA
      & that is the black painted version with housing, lens kit, 
 waist battery and lens adapter be it the Tele or Wide.  
 They wanted to see American faces and not ship their 
              hard earned dollars to faceless and unknown slick over           
         seas wheeler dealers that had a bad reputation or ripping   
Americans off of their money and equipment with    
         all sorts of short packaging, missing parts, used equipment
seconds and out and out thievery...

            Besides, one of the first owners back on the 27th June 03     
         actually suggested the name and I agree it sounds a whole 
     lot better and more to the liking of many of the owners 
              than the Alphabet Soup they are pushing down our throats...

 Here is a piece of trivia that most stateside haven't a clue... 
  The real name for this camcorder in Japan... is NOT GS100
   If you look carefully and also speak to people over there it's
3CCD Digicam 100
   & as far GS100 : another problem... first k is for thousand !
NV-GS100,000-s or   (-k for Black Finish)
and this is used as an inventory stock control number 
NOT a name ! achem...
 

Sony Underwater

Hello Sony Owners...
  For those of you who own the following models:
  DCR-TRV80 or TRV50 or TRV30 or TRV20 or
           TRV10 or TRV9 or even the TRV950/900; this new   
       All Weather/Splash/ 3' Ocean Depth Housing was 
             specifically designed for you by Sony only.   However;
             Sony has pulled these from the US & North American 
        market and maybe all other foreign markets as well
       which leaves them out of reach and unavailable... 
                 Until Now... e-mail me for Toll Free Number & Contact  

    More Later on this Housing, pictures, feedback including
 the new TRV50 being put through its underwater and  
   coral reef video taping adventures here in Hawaii...        


Sony SPK-PC4 for 2003
               This unit is design for Sony DCR-PC101/105 ONLY     
     with Mega Pixel! Sorry, I don't make the rules...  
      So No PC300, PC120, PC110 or PC100... none
             It is designed to go only about 8 feet or two meters  
        down below the surface which is sufficient for the 
       90+% of you snorkeling and near the shore.  You
         deep divers, ocean bottom crawlers and sea floor
       explores will have to pay dearly for the steel and 
           high pressure glass housing that it will take to 6'+ !!
               I now have several sources for these Sony housings 
 Just e-mail me HERE.  Thanks
OK meister, Take Me Back To The Mamba
