I did some more tests and the GH2 with Sanity 5 does not like recording ANY variety of 1080 onto the mega$ 64G/95m Extreme Pro card. As soon as the camera is moved the Error Message pops up saying ".. recording stopped because card is not fast enough blah, blah .." ! It will only do 720...

Dr. Loveless' giant mechanical spider from the film Wild Wild West came to mind. Something to do with the motor noise I think.

Looks like we had a bit of language/translation confusion going on there. OK so, the gentLED shutterPLUS for the Sony Nex does offer remote Record and Shutter on a three position switch and would therefore permit the video start/stop - release shutter - restart video that you mention but, it is...

Which hack are you using Boris? Because I did not want to get too mired in firmware complications I have stuck to Sanity5 and have yet to realise that it might be limited in recording time. I press record on the ground and when the flight is over I press stop. Some flights last for two or three...

A quick note to update the posts about the GH2 720p50 setting automatically reverting to 1080i50/60 when the HDMI cable is plugged in. It does NOT do this when set to 1080p24 setting. I like Tim's method of keeping things tidy. I have a text document with details of each downloaded 'set' and...

Well that was fun! What was the music on the first one?

You have my total sympathies. I started this thread because I was rather confused about the whole 'hack thang' and was disappointed in the complete absence of helpful suggestions from some of the bigwigs around here who were happy to post all sorts of meaningless words like HBR, Driftwood...

What concerns me slightly is that the Z-15 is showing the same tendency to lean into the direction of sideways travel as both the MK FC camera control and Picloc. Watching the video one learns to live with the very slightly right-skewed horizon from the sideways facing camera, but then you stop...

Yes Boris. It does exactly that. After all that hassle to find a reliable HDMI converter I have resorted to using a separate camera for monitoring, precisely because of this problem. I am using the Sanity5 hack and use 720p50 as a default because I have found that ANY 1080 setting is unstable...

Because although there are those who say they do not have any problems, there are quite a few NEX-5n users who have discovered that when the HDMI is connected the gentLED shutter and shutter-PLUS do not reliably trigger the shutter if the camera is set to auto-focus or DMF (Dynamic Manual...

Closer to 6lbs. I was due to flight test one this afternoon to get gimbal balance etc. set up ready for a shoot on the weekend but it was just plain too heavy for an AD-8/AV200-360 setup - even when the Zeiss 18mm was swapped for the NEX 18-55mm. We're swapping it for an FS100 which knocks 600g...

It turns out I only have X800 aerial footage. The X900 footage is on a tripod in the yard. Anyway, the differences between the X800 and the X900 are in features, image-wise they are identical. There was little point in doing a split screen with the CX730 because, as you can see, it was barely...

I think you could safely say that nobody really pays much attention to the laws on rf power. It is also a widely held belief that having a good powerful transmitter is essential to good reception. I am no radio expert but I do know that this is not the case. Massive transmitting power is not...

Err ... plug it in and have a look?

I still have the test footage. It will take some time to organise it to be viewable i.e. stick it up Vimeo. Do you want it compared with anything else?

Tested the X800, the X900 and the CX730 and sent them all back. Image wise the X800 and 900 are identical. Image is what is accepted as sharp, in the same way that the Sony NEX 5/7 and CX730 are accepted as sharp, but in reality none of them reach the standard of clarity of the GH2. The X800/900...

Reading all that stuff one cannot help but question who is the biggest threat to the commercial Aerial Photographer attempting to make a living taking harmless and interesting photos or videos of real estate or events, to blind and draconian over-regulation by the Federal/Civil Aviation...

I agree with Jes111. I cannot see any practical advantage to having booms any longer than is required to prevent props touching other props or the chassis. One could possibly argue that longer booms might make it less 'agile', and therefore beneficial when carrying a video camera, but if** the...
