Sony AX700 Bundle + .3x Fisheye Test (1080p vs 4K) | HD 4:3

I got this AX700 bundle from the Walmart website. I show you everything it came with and test the Opteka .3x fisheye in 4:3. The camera is a lot wider than it looks, I compare it to the size of the VX1000.
Got the wrong adapter ring, so the 16:9 test isn't fully accurate. Since filming this, I've got the correct step-down ring so the vig looks a lot better in 16:9 (than what's shown in the video) and comparable to the vig of an Opteka .3x on an HVX/HPX.
I haven't seen much on UA-cam about this camera with a .3x fisheye lens. Hopefully, this is somewhat helpful if you're looking to put a fisheye on this camera/looking for an HD 4:3 option.
I'll post 16:9 fisheye tests soon.

How to set tge ax700 4:3 ratio on your lcd settings

[@GibberRish]

Nice video. Were you able to remove the vig from the opteka fisheye on the ax700?

[@joeymartin4095]

With the one adapter ring, there's still a a small amount of vig in the corners. Similar to the vig you see in the Skate 2 lol. But I found a way to film 4:3 and then rescale the horizontal to 16:9 in post. You can see how that looks in the clip at the end of this video here: ua-cam.com/video/cM0RmjoBy0c/v-deo.html
Also, you can get it to look even better than that clip too if you have the right editing software.

Hey men! Do you have any skate footage from the Panasonic TM900 with the opteka lens?

[@joeymartin4095]

I bought the optika fisheye lens 58mm, what else do I need?? help !!

[@joeymartin4095]

You’re gonna need a 62mm-58mm adapter ring for the fisheye to fit the camera. No spacers for 16:9, three 58mm spacers for 4:3.
My handle is a cheap top handle I got on Amazon, Hafoko brand. It’s attached to a camera cage that I got from another site. I’ve seen people skip the cage and put the handle directly onto the camera, but I didn’t want to risk it.
I linked them below for you:

[@dvdbaker]

[@nmbers1641]

Can you record in 4:3 or do you edit in post?

[@joeymartin4095]

You do it in post
