Shooting in a Cold Enviroment

wattersk · Nov 26, 2005

Hi everybody,

I am in pre production of a 6 minute short where I was interested in shooting in a cold location, like a meet locker in a grocery store.

The dvx100 is a great camera, and handles itself in warm climates, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience in colder climates. Does anyone know of any difficulties or problems that may arise with the camera or sound equipment? I would not be sure on the temperature but I imagine it would be 0* F or lower.

Thanks -

You would want to place the camera into a air-tight bag until it reaches the temperature of the location, so you don't get condensation on the lens elements.

This article will probably prove very useful to you: http://www.bealecorner.com/dvx100/arctic.html

It's a guy recounting his use of a dvx100 in -45 weather.
