[uglybob6666]

Finally, some GOOD music in a youtube video! Cool helicopter too.

Hey...nice video. What lens are you on ?

[notasixpack]

Man I did this over a year ago 1st night I got the 5dm2... in this vid:

15mm fisheye 2.8

24-70 2.8L

135 2.0L

I have been reading the rcgroup forum from when you originally posted this vid. Cool camera work. My Blueray is in the mail headed to me, how long was it before you removed your training gear? Also, is your bird still alive or has it been totaled?

[notasixpack]

I just recently switched the frame to a standard trex type frame (exi cf frameset for $29). I had the rear tail drive gear strip on me and couldn't get it out. But it was flying really well up to that point. I had training gear on for maybe 6-8 flights. Once you start doing forward flight it kinda gets in the way.

Does the 5DMK II have AF during videomode?

[notasixpack]

you can, but it's slow and the lens will go wide open when you do it which brightens the image if you're not shooting wide open.

[VinceCheong]

Nope... but seriously... Why would u need AF for?... this is like a Mini PanaVision camera man.. they dont DO af... they have a focus puller instead... :P

[notasixpack]

Panavision has 24 fps though. This unfortunately does not.  =(

[VinceCheong]

hahaha... well.. you got a point there... but what i normally do is import the 30p 5Dmk2 footage into my timeline, and force it to 24p editing timebase... so i'd be getting something like, let's say the 5D footage is 2 seconds, in my 24p timeline. it'd be 2 seoncds and 12 frames... :)

so that's my way of editing it in 24p... :)

[Areabus]

<The quality its just amazing, But one wish remain: I want 24 p not 30p. :(

[notasixpack]

me too. I would think it would be so easy with firmware.

[SomeUselessGeek]

Pretty cool piece of vid for a T-Rex startup, particularly when you didn't even have the blade tracking set! Hey! Don't think we didn't notice, man. Heh.

[notasixpack]

HA! I had pretty much just gotten the heli (see the ping pong balls!) and just gotten the camera. HAD to try a video.

[pushnaren]

I just bought one and pretty excited too.. what exact one from Sony? Is it the Vegas video pro ??

[notasixpack]

yes, but for what you saw, any simple editor will work

[hollywoodcity]

This is awesome. I'm a filmmaker and considering buying this camera too -- heard this video mentioned on Amazon. What lens did you use?

RSVP

[notasixpack]

Oh yeah that was prob my review on the camera. Only prob (if you're a filmmaker) is it's 30fps, not 24. I'm hoping for a firmware update that allows 24fps.  I used 135 f2, 24-70 2.8, and 15 2.8

[jkatman]

awesome vid. so sharp so crisp. 5dm2 videos own my eyes.

[darrenwootton2007]

Looks awesome in HD

wish all the vids was in HD

[giriphotography]

[sdrfgvrfgvsfravgdsvS]

WTF

[notasixpack]

yeah. they named the heli blueray. not bluray.

[iMinVideo]

Can't fly????

[notasixpack]

Not in the kitchen no.  I have flown it a few times (weather here sucks).. check other videos.

How do you get hd to work on a laptop? It just freazes on mine.

[notasixpack]

HD from youtube? Can't really help you there, sorry. I suppose it's your laptop specs?  Just a guess.

[Bonobo3D]

Excellent. Great to see this advance look at results from this camera. Very impressive presentation.

[notasixpack]

The camera did all the work.  Thanks.

[xhelicopter]

super nice

[notasixpack]

Thanks for the heli guys =)

[yadac123]

what's the camera's model number?

[notasixpack]

it's the Canon EOS 5d Mark II. It's a DSLR that also takes video in 1080p.

[ennoxfentash]

Nice! What did you edit with? What was the resolution you uploaded to youtube at?

[notasixpack]

Sony product. Though any editor will work. uploaded it in 720 (1280x720). Source was 1080p.
