Hello guys, I've purchased a Flip HD for car scenes, like in RENO 911 style where it feels a little bit like its a spy cam. Like in many reality shows on TV.
I modified it to use a Wide Angle lens. I like it so far.
But I need a suggestion as to what other cameras in that price range will allow me to LOCK the IRIS. Thats that biggest problem with the FLIP ULTRA. The IRIS breaths a lot. And when I shoot in a car and the car window has bright light entering the car, the IRIS will compensate for it, and then I will end up with footage where the actor is so DARK I cant see him. Nor can I grade it because the blacks are CRUSHED.
Anyone here have good experience with a small camera, in the $200 range, shoots HD, tapeless, no insane amount of dropped frames and allows at least the ability to LOCK the IRIS?
