Sony TRV900. You don't need a 3 chip though. Save your money, get something reasonable quality and cheap.

the panasonic dvc30 is much smaller than the vx and costs less while offering a handle and similar video performance. the bigger ccd of the vx gives it much better low light and slightly better all around performance. However the vx costs over 2 grand and the dvc30 is around 1500.

if your gonna get a 3 chip, i think you should just get a good one, because theirs no point to get a smaller one, for what ?

so you can ski with it?

if your filming and you have quality shit to film , you know you may need a tripod

shut the fuck up me

sony vx1000 is awsome, id reccomend that, you can find them for like 900 or 1000 and they are better than most the ones that cost twice that much. and they are awsome for skiing, durable and well balanced for follow cams. really though any 3ccd will do fine, i just reccomend the vx1000
