• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

I used my minolta cameras for quite a few years. However I got a kodak 290 digita and started to use just that for stormchasing.When I went to Africa to see my 7th total solar eclipse I went just with video and my my digital camera. Things worked out great and I even has my picture of the June 2001 eclipse in Astronomy magazine.

I use my kodak 290 (about 3.5 megapixel) , minolta dimage 7i (5 megqapxiel bought on ebay) , Panasonic 901 dv and canon zr25. The 290 has served me well when Doug Raflik had some great shots in June 2001 in Texas of great wallfloud and other features.
My 901 did well too- its older got from ebay . It is not 3ccd (would like to get someday) but about 1.5 and takes nice videos.

I am able to take very good videosnaps using my imovie software (final cut express I will try in the future. I got two tornadoes and videotaped them on May 29 near St. Joseph ,. MO and snaps of the video etc are up on my website.

Meanwhile, where can I find an equipment piece to stand a video up inside the car while driving. I have seen them but I have no idea where to find them, how much they cost.

Questions on this as well on video, camcorders and more welcome.
