    @THEBARFO to tell you the truth some do look like they use a consumer camera; a video, movie, presentation whatever, these all have to have eye candy. I have looked at all (and I mean all) of the skateboarding videos using the Canon GL2 and I am disgusted on how horrible they are produced… I will admit there are some that are decent, but most I have seen do not use the extent of this camera.

  2. THEBARFO says:

    @Bruceforge ahah you obviously know nothing about professional level skateboarding then. watch any professional video and tell me if it looks like they use a consumer camera…

  3. THEBARFO says:

    @lalapilew You could but that messes up the tape heads in the camera.

  4. bigd021191 says:

    @MrSpuddyd thanks man, but i got it. i need to capture with a deffrent camera. the firewire DV port on the gl2 is broken. that hole time thats all it was. i plug in any other cam works perfectly fine.

  5. MrSpuddyd says:

    @bigd021191connect ur firewire cable to ur pc via the port (IEEE 1394)and to ur cam. Turn ur cam on. Make sure ur OS recognizes the device before continuing
    In Vegas select: File, Capture Video, cue ur tape and record it to ur pc hdd its that easy m8. Just in case u hadn’t worked it out yet ; )

  6. EhMiles says:

    how do u edit if it record to tape?

  7. bigd021191 says:

    @lalapilew yes you can tape over it, after awile tho you will start to lose frames.

  8. bigd021191 says:

    @TheWetFeathers your looking to spend 1000 but there are a few SD card cams out there with quality just as good

  9. bigd021191 says:

    @macwoman12 no you can’t

  10. lalapilew says:

    @THEBARFO cant you just tape over the footage when your done with it and re use the tapes…

  11. helloimcory says:

    @macwoman12 i dont think so dude, i think the SD card is only for pictures and stuff.. but im not 100% sure.

  12. macwoman12 says:

    can you record video with an sd card on this camcorder??? Please answer!

  13. bigd021191 says:

    i bought a firewire cable and i use sony vagas. but i still can not figure out how to transfer what i recorded from the cam to the computer.

  14. bigd021191 says:

    @MrSkateboardFTW nope

  15. MrSkateboardFTW says:

    can you record with the sd card

  16. TheWetFeathers says:

    I wish there was a camera exactly like this but it didn’t have to use tape for ur footage like I want one exactly like the canon gl2 but it had a HDD if anyone knows of a camera like I want please tell me the name

  17. OgrAdaY says:

    @Bruceforge i guess i cant get through to you cuz ur talking to people like you know skateboarding and you dont, i guess you cant understand that.

  18. Bruceforge says:

    @OgrAdaY I can’t seem to get through to you, huh…
    Never mind then.

  19. OgrAdaY says:

    @Bruceforge for skating, all im saying is that you dont know what your talking about. if you knew skateboarding you would know that the GL2, vx1 and 2000, and dvx, are great cameras for skateboarding, so all i suggest is that if you dont know what your talking about then dont talk, cuz you know nothing about about filming skating or skating in general.
    is that clean enough for you

  20. phaetegon4 says:

    does this shoot in 24p????

  21. Bruceforge says:

    @OgrAdaY If you can’t post a comment without sticking a cuss word in there don’t comment at all, I don’t care what you say. I have been using this for a professional project for a choir group, I am getting paid for filming people singing. What are you using it for?

  22. OgrAdaY says:

    @Bruceforge ur a fucking idiot that knows nothing about skateboarding or filming skateboarding. this is a great camera for filming skating, its fits one of the best fisheyes, the mark 2 lens, has a handle for following, and is overall great for whatever your filming. so if you dont know what your talking about then shut the fuck up faggot, cuz u dont know skating.

  23. Bruceforge says:

    @lakaiguy365 no, no and no!
    It is not a good camera for skateboarders. Buy a consumer camcorder for $500 or $600, this is $3000.

  24. lakaiguy365 says:

    is this a good camera for skateboarding and is it good for beginers

  25. godishere7 says:

    Does it have a SD slot?

  26. bigd021191 says:

    @rickmus66 i got the same porblem

  27. 3insanity says:

    Haha Man You Landed in The Colorado Springs airport! haha I live right near that “rims to go” Shop. Small word eh? Nice video and a Nice cam, Peace bro.

  28. zodiatube says:

    what band is that?

  29. Bruceforge says:

    @rickmus66 If there is no port for the Firewire, then you need a express card.

  30. bombingproductions says:

    @mikethapanda depends on what program you use to export

  31. mikethapanda says:

    hoq do you upload in 16:9 wit a gl2 i cant get it to work

  32. bombingproductions says:

    @rickmus66 it has to be in playback mode, no mine did not come with software

  33. rickmus66 says:

    Ok I called Canon.They said I needed the power addaptor.That the firewire needs more power than what the battery will provide.
    Do you use the power addaptor when you upload your vids?

  34. rickmus66 says:

    I have the firewire port,DV cable.Hook it up and nothing happens.
    Am I supposed to put the GL2 in some kind of mode for it to work?
    And di yours come with software?
    Mine did not!
    Thanks for your help!

  35. bombingproductions says:

    @rickmus66 firewire and idk but i would assume so

  36. rickmus66 says:

    I bought mine on ebay,Did not come with a manual.
    How do you get your video to your computor? Ive tried my DV cable,but nothing works.
    And is it compatible with windows 7?

  37. 130diner says:

  39. kvnyng says:

    1. Song?
    2. What software did you use to edit?
    3. Nice video

  40. scotteeeey says:

    those were some amazing shots. i really liked it.

  41. bombingproductions says:

    agreed, the gl2 can either be awesome or just kinda average. If you get to know it well you can get some really sick shots but if you just point and shoot it can come out pretty bad sometimes. for instance look at some of our new edits (matt went) there slowely coming out better but it deffinatly takes effort to get good shots. Sorry for the book

  42. bombingproductions says:

    @ccskater3 dont remember. whatever it came on

  43. ccskater3 says:

    did you shoot on 4:3 aspect ratio or 16:9
    please respond

  44. 603productions1 says:

    it depends what u film for. skateboarding you should use the vx1000 best for skating

  45. Mrthatsaskateboard says:

    Sick ass vid dude, Ive been debating between the Gl2 and the vx1000 but I think ima go with the Gl2.

  46. magermax000 says:

    cool alpha transitions dude, nicely done!!! Do you ever export in HD? you should check out the one’s I’ve done.

  47. xTurnipTimex says:

    I love my GL2, except there is a problem, when rewinding under playback it always glitches and tells me to remove the tape, and i have to remove it and put it back in. Also, my battery isnt holding up anymore, I need a new one.

  48. mike22490 says:

    sick man, what resolution does this camera shoot in?

  49. jongiuliani1 says:

    very nice..well done!!
