Hummingbird HD Video Test Flip Mino QT 1280x720p

Not planes...just some HD video for discussion.

There's been some discussion about recording and encoding etc. I recently bought a Flip Mino HD. I think it's great but does not do well in low light and needs to be about 6-10 feet from it's subject. I taped this hummingbird flying in and eating and then did a slow motion version afterwards. Even at 30fps, the wings still blur. You can see the bird feeder is slightly blurry but the rest of the shot is not. It is an amazing camera to carry in your pocket though. Sound is also pretty good.

I exported the video using Quicktime Pro using 1280x720 HD with deinterlace checked and automatic for frames, frame reordering checked and encoding set to high and multiple pass (high), AAC 44.1 VBR 192. It yielded a file around 260 MB.

Not planes...just some HD video discussion. Watch in HD!

There's been some discussion about recording and encoding. I recently bought a Flip Mino HD. I think it's great but does not do well in low light and needs to be about 6-10 feet away.

I taped this hummingbird flying in and eating and then did a slow motion version at 0:30

Even at 30fps, the wings still blur. You can see the bird feeder is slightly blurry but the rest of the shot is not. It is an amazing camera for your pocket though.

[GoldfinchGarden]

I am very envious of you with your beautiful Himming Birds visiting your feeders.I wish we had them over here in the UK. Great video

@dec0y

yes that humminbird does look like it was done in CGI! Ive seen them up close and even held one but this doesnt look real.....

that must be sum serious camera...

idk im confused.

[dec0y]

I've never seen a hummingbird in person, but to me... that bird looked like it was done in CGI. I had the same experience from another footage that was taken from a balcony of NY while facing the center of the city.

It's still nice though.

I hope so. the hi-def is amazing for the price.
