camera rattle
I just got a Sony Handycam DCR-HC96. Vibrations from the car (BK roll bar mount) cause a rattle in the camera which is very noticeable and annoying on the audio playback.
I can duplicate the rattle just holding the camera in my hand and shaking it. It is an internal rattle -- it is not the battery or other external plastic bits. It does it with or without the tape, so it is not the cassette.
Questions: is this normal? Can the rattle be isolated and eliminated?
Thanks, Andy

I use the DCR-HC96 with an I/O port mount... it's flawless with no rattles in the mount or the camera.
It sounds like a warranty issue to me.

Anyway, ended up buying a boom mic. Hope this solves or at least mitigates the problem.
