Im really curious to see what kind of filters/ lenses/ ext mics you guys are using so why dont you guys post some screenshots of shit u made with a particulair filter/lens and let us know what it was and or where to buy.
I have some gear on its way so I'll post some pics of that for sure.
Might help us all.

I bought a cheap Raynox QC-303 fisheye lens ages ago (0.3x) for about £20 new off eBay and it was great. :/ Fitted perfectly, no black edges, it was too small for my new cam though so I can't take pics. In short, worth the buy imo, if you just need a more wide angle shot.
Is a £40, £50 + one worth it? Doesn't seem all that worthwhile, I'd rather spend £20 on a lens and £20 on tapes.

I have a Sony HDR-hc3, and HC1 with a sennhiser mke-300 mic and I throw on a baby death lens once and awhile.

This doesn't really affect your cams performances but it does look great and makes the cam look more professional and more people will probably take you serious instead of thinking that its "just" a handycam.
I got it from this EBAY shop called SAVEBASE, was like $10 including shipping.
43mm lenshood (comes with cap as well)

I'm looking to do the Raynox mod maybe. How you like it Ryan?

I modded my Raynox with a Kenko .43 fisheye a while back. It definitely widened the field of view, but it added a ton of nasty vig.

I love my Kenko .43.

Yeah, it's a really good lens for the price.
