When panning it is almost impossible to hear anything, the tilt has a very slight sound but I doubt it would be detected on a camcorder.

quiet is a relative thing - it is basically silent tilt - turret function is somewhat quiet in one and not good in the other if you want "silent" motion - I don't have this requirement - but it functions smoothly and had good balance considering its low price - not nearly the best but good for what it was intended to do...

First off, I covet your camcorder (I'm using the FDR-ax100 - not quite up to pro yet). The MP360 motors for both pan and tilt are whisper quiet, but still might get picked up by the built in mics. I always record my audio separately and sync afterwards, so I've never really paid attention to mechanical noises. My guess is if you are attaching a shotgun or a mounted recording device at a reasonable distance from the base of the camcorder it won't be a problem. My only concern is the weight of your AX2000 may cause the motor to strain slightly and raise the noise. Nice thing about amazon is you can send it back if it does. I'd say "go for it". BTW if you read my review, the MP360 is in practice not usable past about two revolutions since the control cable raps around your tripod as it turns, so if your looking for do a multi-revolution time lapse device - keep looking. Otherwise it's well built, useful, and affordable.

Hey Rob,I set the audio control to manual setting and I don't hear the fan noise in post production. In auto mode, it picks up Everything in my experience. Hope this helps.

It is kind of loud - but I don't feel like I have scream to be heard. You do have to talk louder.... kind of a like a blender, a normal blender, not one with a 2HP motor!! Hope that helps!

I read all the customer reviews before I bought this camera. Several of the customers who has bought this camera complained about a motorboating sound when they tried to video. When I went to Costco and read their reviews it was also on their writeups. I have to assume it is inherent in this device. This Olympus is the first one I have owned, and outside of the noise I love it. If it effects the video in any way I haven't noticed it.

haven't used it yet, but my other Canons (also power shots little different model) do record sound on the video. We'll try it tomorrow and let you know! It should if consistent with all other power shots I've used.

The motorized sounds you are getting are not normal in my experience. I have no sounds from the unit during video and no sounds out of the ordinary during normal everyday use. I would look into a return/swap out for another camera.

I love the size of the 780 but keep reading about audible motor noise in videos it records. However, when I read about the 940, no one seems to report this issue. There's an excellent deal on the 780 right now and I'd love to pick one up, but not if the 940 avoids the noise issue. Can anyone here speak from experience on this? I can scour specs and reviews, but some real-use feedback would be helpful from SD940 owners.

I hear absolutely zero noise. I dont think it even has a fan? One thing tho: I had an older model and the dsp chip died at some point. Repair was going to be 400 bucks so i had to trash it and buy a new one. Not really cool.

With the "silencer" on its not unbearable. With it removed its LOUD AS HELL. Not even kidding. There are a decent amount of videos on youtube you can check out as well

I use it that way currently. It is very good sound, and I use it at the end of a boom pole since I don't have other materials. The sound is more about getting a good level on the H1, keeping positioning during the take, and EQ. You press record on the H1, also on the dslr, then its easy to sync it up in post.

I did not have any problem with motor noise so far. I use zoom a lot since I use my camcorder recording my son's marching band, although recently I started using a separate digital recorder for better audio. I hope this helps.

I agree. It's very noisy. Much more so than previous Panasonics and Braun.Also, for me it did not shave well, wet or dry. Another problem is that the shaver heads get HOT and uncomfortable, soon after you start shaving.

Yes! Within the settings menu "tools" there is a mute selection. Either on or off for mute. Once mute is selected (on) there is absolutely no audible sound for camera operations.

It is VERY quiet. Obviously the cutting action creates some noise. However, I have been attaching a shop vac to the unit. You will want to do the same in order to limit the sawdust. The vacuum makes the process loud. I hope you don't plan to watch TV or try to carry on a conversation instead of concentrating on your work! The machine is so quiet you can easily forget where the blade is and take off a few fingertips.

Yes it is noisy, and it has quite the flash. I had another camera across from it and saw it flash every shot at night. The noise from the shutter aroused the curiosity of a doe, I have the picture of her big eyes looking at the camera up close.

I have had numerous Remington shavers including this one. Sorry to report that all of them have the same amount of noise. I also have a Norelco and it is much quieter.
