Boris, 25p is embedded in a 50i stream at 24mb/s AVCHD It has B frames which is the good stuff. Shoot as HBR 1080 50i drop it in PPro 5.5 and it should reconize as 25p. Final cut 7pro may need extraction? Have fun its smooth. Stan

Boris, you need to look in your tools menu and see if your new camera has the Dec 7th 1.1 version firmware. If so give it try and see if it is to your needs. It gives 1080p 25p which may be more important to you than a high bit rate hack. many are more than happy with a cleaner noise algorithm...

Hey Tabb, good to hear. Will the C300 fit the mount without major mods? Have you or anyone you know used the cineStar Gimbal with the DJI. IMU. or would it be better served by the new Picloc? The DJI team are claiming some rock solid regardless of flight conditions results with there soon to...

Thks Ken, do you think the battery placement on the top of the CS frame is better than bottom? If larger engine setups are used will it make using smaller loads less stabile? Would it be more stabile with hexa larger engine battery combo or octo smaller engine battery combo. Stan

Boris, Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 / MEGA O.I.S. "with auto focus off" has widest view with/and OIS is best out there for DSLR. Better primes are out there but no OIS. If your mount is real stabile 20mm 1.7f pancake is light prime and sharp. Evening or night shoots are great more...

Ross Thks gona need 7" height that servo sounds mean. The cinestar gimbal bracket flips up and down angles the side arms for even more room. the height of the cam is limited to the landing gear only. So the cam can angle straight down if needed. Would love to see the skyjib of yours. Stan

Check out the tribute piece here http://blog.vincentlaforet.com/ they used both. Stan

How is the harmonic vibes in video on this? Or is it manly photo quality? Will that board support hover?

Ken, What do you think that the frame can handle regarding larger motors and possibly 4 lipo battery's. On the cs6. Looking at caring a 6 to 7 pound camera with CS gimbal. Stan

Ross, that would be great if it is simple. Yes, would like to see the mount and the askman clearance for upper handle cams. Stan

Tabb, great behind the scenes on flights with Vincent. Were looking to fly the C300 with a cinestar rig. Can you recommend a setup you used CS6 or 8 and motors, lipo etc. I assumed you used CS Gimbeal. Stan

Boris, have you done any load testing on your CS8? Stan

we use a canon xf305 3.5kg cam for its in camera 4.2.2 codec Will use new canon C300 when it arrives in Jan. has same codec with interchangeable lenses. It will likly be around 3.5 kg with lenses and gimbal. the gimbal would be the cinestar gimbal because the mount can be connected on the top...

Ovdt, thanks for the break down very informative. was considering QC 3228s but unsure of use out there. the Axi 2820 sound good still little unclear about lipo size advantages. Hard to find whole set. sounds like poker with all the combos. Stan
