Night Kayaking with the FS700

[Kelsey Thompson]

Here's a video I had the opportunity to shoot of kayaking over a 60 foot waterfall at night. It was the first time I had shot slow motion in low(ish... a lot of it was actually quite bright) light at higher iso's. I shot a lot of it at 6400 iso and was quite pleased with the results. There are two AF100 shots but the rest was on the FS700.

Very nice! Just the right length. Can I ask what lights did you use?

No update, I'd love to get the upgrade but haven't made the move yet. Thanks for the positive comments!

Nice work! Multiple cameras or multiple takes?

He did two runs on the waterfall, the one wide shot was with an AF100, the rest of the shots were with the FS700.

Nice. You made it look like such an epic one time, never done before, and never going to do that again kind of event that I was wondering.
Snowboarding stuff we wind up shooting so many takes to get a clean landing that you can get the same multi angle effect with a single camera.
