Best cam for filming fingerboarding?

Because they sorta "feel" incomplete. Sometimes they're used REALLY well, but I always kinda feel like "might as well just tre instead"

No camera is specifically better for fingerboarding, however a small form factor can sometimes be convenient. That being said, that has nothing to do with choosing a camera, for me. I'd still choose my 650d with the 8mmm fisheye, battery grip, and mic over my m41 with a medium-death, any day (but I'd choose a mic'd gopro hero 3 over my m41).

I'd say you need like three of these if you wanna get the complete look

^ lmao
But yeah, there is no "best" camera.
There can be a best for being portable (Gopro)
There can be a best for quality (T3i is a famous one, but there are so many others).
I'd go with a T3i just to be safe if you have the money, but then it's the same as everyone else haha

I hate filming with dslr cameras, I love being able to flip an LCD screen open and point it towards me so I can see. (Maybe t3i's can do that) but the weight and awkwardness of them for filming handheld shot. I also don't like that you can hear the manual focus or zoom, I like having a button on the video camera, lenses are good for pull focuses though. I have both, a pentax k7 and a HDR xr550 but I only use my dslr for pictures.

Do duros come in both single and dual bearing wheels or just single

Dual duros are just single bearing

I want a new set of wheels for my new Homewood (which is amazing and everyone should buy one!). I love the Ywheels on my other setup but I think I want to try a new wheel. I've narrowed it down to Oaks vs. Winklers. They're both single bearing wheels though, right? What are the comparative grippiness/sizes etc? Basically, which is the better wheel?

Oak vs. Winklers is like saying rock vs. hiphop.

It's two totally different types of wheels. Two different philosophies behind them.


I'm just gonna be an asshole and suggest you get some Substance wheels. But then again, I'm not really an asshole cause they are the best wheels around.

In what way dude? I did have the impression that they were quite different wheels, but what, specifically are the differences? If they're both good but for different things, what are they? I ride vert and street, my decks are all wide, I have modded TDLB trucks and I like a good amount of grip, if any of that helps.

I'm definitely open to other suggestions, though. Substance are those really uniquely shaped wheels, almost spherical, aren't they? What's good about them? And, more importantly, where do I get 'em?

Substance were some of the first proper fingerboard wheels. In their lineup some years ago they made a weirdly shaped wheel called the Flow shape. But (almost) all the other wheels are normally shaped.

I'm pretty sure they are out of stock in most stores, so your best bet is to pick up a used set.
Or get the new ones from the 2014 lineup which is sold by some dude. Check out this link:

The difference between winkler/substance/flatface type wheels and oak/ywheels/closeup wheels is the material. Not that all these are the same material, but to me it makes a great difference if the material is plastic or rubber.

It's hard to describe as the feeling of a wheels is really subjective and there are many different materials under each type.

What do you like about your Ywheels and what do you feel that they are missing?

whats tail and nose of a blosom

Oaks are like riding a skateboard. SUPER grippy, not smooth, but they can be found as lots of peoples' preferences.
Winklers are different because they are SUPER smooth and kinda grippy.
It's hard to compare them, because they 100% opposites.

My Oaks are not that much more grippy than any other wheel tbh. But its just a different kind of grip.

Well, they are much squeakier. And they catch a bit more on tiny reverts and stuff, but you're right, grippy is the wrong word.

Same here... I was super underwhelmed... I've been told this whole time that "THEYRE SOOO GRIPPY", but they really aren't. They're soft, yes, but not ridiculously grippy.

Hello, I wan´t new white FF wheels. But I don´t know if I should choose the G4 BRR edition, or the old ones. Any preferences?

Smoothness

I've got both and tbh the g4's size is only abit bigger, saying that though they perform differently. The classic brr ed's roll faster and feel more whippy. The g4's feel kinda like big and smooth and they roll nicely over more bumpy surfaces. I like the g4's for transition but prefer the regular ones for flat and street.

does someone know a camera who has kind of the same footy as a vx1000 or vx2000?
