Re: shooting from a helicopter
by Mark D'Agostino on Jun 23, 2009 at 6:51:48 pm

We've shot a lot of footage over the years both SD and HD with the Tyler mount. We have found that HD seems to be more prone to "jitters" and that different lenses can increase the effect.The physically shorter in length the lens is the better. It's also important to have all the proper Tyler lens mount supports correctly installed. I could be wrong but I'd think something more robust than the Z-7u would help, (We use the Panasonic HDX900). As you notice I use words like "seems" and "I think". Bottom-line is as Todd stated, you always need to factor in time to test your rig even if you're using the same gear you may have used on a previous flight.

Regarding the 24p problem. I have tested 24p in flight and it looks nice but I have ended up shooting 30p with a half shutter for sharpness due to less blur. You surely should not have needed to go to 60i.
