More serious slow motion test

[pailes]

Hello everybody,

for those interested in extreme sports and slow motion I shot this last weekend:

Feedback of all kinds is always appreciated.

This looks great! Love the sharpness of the image!
This video proves that this camera has a huge potential in slow motion!

 

[videoamater]

Very cool!

Beautiful! Manual focus rules on this one. Zoomed all the way in I assume?
Great music selection too, I love Bonobo

Thanks for the comments. The focus assistant makes it very easy to deal with the manual focus. You're right the first close up shots were taken at almost full zoom. This is my first HD camcorder, but the quality is impressive. It almost looks filmish. This is so much fun, but most of the atmosphere comes with the music

Looks great! The end lapse was sweet too!

Really good stuff. High speed shutter?

Can you please post the 720/50p straight up without conforming to 24p?

I have to find a way since vimeo only supports 24fps and does very bad retiming.

Could we upload it somewhere else perhaps?

How big is the file?

It looked real nice. Do you plan to get a fisheye for it?

Yes, but I'm not sure which one to get, as the favourite choice (0.3X Ultra Fisheye from Schneider/Century) doesn't seem to be available.

I was thinking that, but I'm sure it won't be that wide. I just noticed it's not even a bayonet. It has 72 threads. Eh.

 

[pailes]

I've seen that too, but it's only 0.55x or something. Dunno about the quality, there is also 16x9 and raynox doing similar lenses like this one.

 

[Justyn]

the century .55 is awesome and I too like bayonet.. WAY better than threading a lens. I'm going to get one for the 150..


Sucks that Century won't make an adapter for the HVX stuff I have.. both fish and tele. The guy at Century was a complete ass... as well as unimformed on some principles of phyics.. but the overall feedback i got was that they aren't going to make any bayonette adapters for HVX stuff to fit on the 150 or 170.. they are just making new stuff.

 

[pailes]

Do you know if they're planning to release the 0.3X ultra wide fisheye?

 

[mikeymic]

try www.blip.tv i find it's much better than vimeo.

what was your shutter speed set at? I assume you're shooting 60i and then stretching it 24p?

i don't think they'll made a "death lens" for the hmc, their idea is to have a professional look with the HD cameras, hence the reason there's the 16x9 lens then the Century X-treme fisheye, because the consumer is looking for a more professional look, the more barrel distortion and widenss you give the lens, the more vignetting it will have and just look gross in high definition.

Not if you are a skateboarder! :thumbsup:
