  • Warning: I tested several wide-angel converters with my Canon MV20 video cam, and all failed, as there were shadowed objective corners visible if the video is displayed by a video-processing computer ( not necessarily if the video is displayed on a TV screen, or on the LCD display of the video cam ):
    • Sony VCL 06-37H, 37mm ( little shadowed corners ).
    • Hama 0.45, 37mm ( large shadowed corners, heavy distortion, fisheye view ).
    • Hama 0.5 Digital/44330,37 mm ( large shadowed corner ).
    • Hama 0.45, 46mm ( large shadowed corners ).
    • Kenko KWG-05, 0.5x, 37mm ( large shadowed corners ).

  • I was advised to try a “fluid head with balance spring” like the Manfrotto #503 to shoot perfect horizontal turns with my DV cam ! Alternatively, with cheap heads, I was advised to hold the head with the left hand and the cam with the right hand, when doing camera turns.
