Here is two days of VCF MidWest in Elmhurst Illinois, as seen through a Sony DSR-PD170 fitted with a cheap Century fisheye lens and an excessively sensitive microphone.
(this time with the audio gain turned down!)

That was fun. I don't mind connecting with people like that!

2:24 Thanks for including me, I had a great time chatting with you. Unfortunately one of the tapes I used on my PD150 to record Saturday's footage one has a bunch of video and audio dropouts it appears and I think the footage is ruined like that. The other tape I used was sealed and it had no issues. My latest video on the Sony SL-HF300 was shot on the same PD150.

I got a pile of low quality BASF tapes that do the same. These cameras really don't like the lower grade tapes. It was equally fun taking to you too!

It was my first time at VCF Midwest and I was blown away at the deals and tables showing off amazing hardware. Picked up my first Atari 8 bit and got to meet some of my favorite KZfaqrs including Adrian Black who was so nice. Definitely going back next year.

Really shows the scale of this event. It's so much more massive than I realized it was. The fisheye is quite fun on there too.

It's outgrown the Clarion. It was beginning to spill outside.

@@CelGenStudios I think next year they should see if they can do it at the Hilton DoubleTree in Oak Brook. In the video I can tell you stayed at the DoubleTree (we did do, shame I didn't run into you), it's a really nice hotel and I think the convention area it's a lot bigger than the Clarion.

It is so nice to see this. This is a showcase of the love, care, and hard work that went into maintaining these classic machines.

16:12 How did I NOT see the Flux Capacitor Control Panel just adjacent to my table...guess I was facing the wrong direction. I LOVE this footage!

I was the guy manning Ken’s booth while he got lunch and you can see me at 8:55 complementing your camera. 😂

I appreciate it! A lot of people really got a kick out of the ridiculous fisheye.

I saw you walking around! Was that one of the units that were for sale at the show or was that your own unit you brought with you? There was a pair of Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses earlier that day in the free pile.

4:57 What is that computer with the cute monitor? That ZX Spectrum Next looks nice, but I thought it came only in a keyboard case; I didn't know that it came with a separate cased unit.

LOVE this, but why 30p? It's a camcorder! ffmpeg -i input_file -c:v libx264 -vf "idet,bwdif,format=yuv420p" output_file

I totally got hammered for time, sorry. I was able to apply some of your recommendations but forgot about the framerate.

@@CelGenStudiosWell, you'll just have to do it for next year ;-) I do appreciate the effort, though. Every video of the show I watch, I see stuff I had *no idea* existed on the show floor (or outside!).
