Big reasons for not carrying action camera.. Durability and weight.. Most of us are not doing professional work and honestly don't need it.. for professional work you definitely need a separate camera.
A Gyroflow + Thumb Pro video would be great. Thanks Ryan
All true. And a great summary. That said, 95% of the time I don't fly to shoot video, so I don't use an action cam, but still want to review my footage at times. Also, I prefer to fly with props out of view.
I also prefer the simplicity of auto start recording
Runcam Thumb Pro, such an under rated camera, been using this one for a while, gyroflow works great defiantly have auto record enabled, the only thing I have found with this camera, the record button is a bit dodgy, I have to make sure stops recording after the flight and it some times takes a couple of pushes, as if you don't stop the recording before pulling the battery the recording will become corrupt.
Very informative for non video guys. Will you make a video processing / management tutorial?
I always found the time in front of the pc needed to get a good looking video is huge.
Great suggestion!
My friend and I had a similar argument/debate as this with a couple of DJI fan boys in our local group. Also fyi, nd8 is equivalent to a reduction of 3 fstops, nd16 is 4 fstops and nd32 is 5 fstops
Awesomeness! Thanks so much Ryan! Going to check out that RunCam Thumb Pro W! Cheers!
Looks like a nice compact setup. Still have my old heavy gopros. I've looked into it a little bit, just on the fence if it's worth putting videos out. For those that do, I can definitely feel the weight difference. Definite compromises to get good video and great flight performance at the same time
I have the original 1080p thumb and I'm glad I didn't get the first version of the Pro. For the price, it sure looks damn good. REALLY looking forward to hearing more about that little red stack you got there oin the back ^_^ Always enjoy your videos, some dang fine flying there. Cheers!
Excellent information
I use the Runcam thumb pro on my planes but haven’t played with the settings too much
I had to rewatch the video a second time to actually understand it, because the first time I was just watching the footage with my jaw dropped.
yay smaller freestyle vtx, looking forward to hearing more.
Sure a cheap action cam is nice for this use case but how about onboard dvr for the whooplite cams? Now the only option is walksnail or analog hd for decent recording on tiny whoops
Great video, Ryan.
Gyroflow recommends this (see Common Filming Tips & Issues chapter):
A common rule in filmmaking is to use 180° shutter speed (i.e. twice the frame rate, e.g. 1/60 when shooting 30 fps). However that rule doesn't work when using any kind of digital stabilization.
... Using 90° or even 45° shutter will be much better choice if you want to use any post-stabilization.
What is your experience?
I use very light stabilization. Default is 0.25 I think and I use 0.08 IIRC. I'll look into this further though, thanks. My guess is the less stabilization you use the closer you can get to the ideal 180deg shutter
Gyroflow stabilization works better without motion blur.
When we’ll this be available like to give this a try
Can you please share infos about the quad? It looks like it has the new freestyle vtx on it :)
It flies so smooth.... what motors KV and battery are you using? I'll try to build the same ship.
Thanks a lot for such informative videos.
well I just took the risk and guessed these are 1407 3300KV @ 4S ..... wish me luck
I had a Thumb Pro W...i liked it, very light weight and video quality was good (2.7k 60) ......it only lasted a week before stopped powering up ( i freestyle in concrete places, lol).....I'm back on GoPros and a new Action2 (I'm hoping the Action2 will be durable, lets find out)
do u take all ur shots with ur thumb?
can u make a tutorial to the thumb with examples when u use with settings?
What is you re set up pls?
Great small camera and great info about video in general.
Glad it was helpful!
Is the Thumb Pro W the same body as the Thumb Pro? (For 3d printing cases)
Yes, pretty much exactly
I use one on my tiny 2.5” prop Racer X airplane chaser I use to play with smaller and slower planes… 😎🤘🏻🙋🏼♂️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What build are you flying in the video? Looks great :)
Whens your video about the Freestyle V2 dropping?
I usually don't intend to make a pretty video. I'm trying to share some amount of the feeling of flying that I had. I want the artifacting, shakes, and OSD in my video.
All that said, you make excellent points for video meant to look professional.
I got the thumb pro but for some reason it stopped working and runcam refused to replace the cam. That's why i will no longer buy anything from runcam again!
I now have the Hawkeye thumb, it's cheaper with similar video quality
I still would love onboard dvr recordings, it's just a nice feature.
okay so we're not getting onboard recording gotchya
its a great lil camera for the price!!
ooo is that the HDZ v2?
Pausing at 1:10, I can tell you that personally I 100% prefer the HDZero DVR image. I know a lot of people like the "more contrasty image", but all I see is crushed blacks making it hard to see anything that's going on there...
Also, you call it "smooth" and "buttery", I call it "blurry" and "fuzzy".
The common misunderstanding about the 180 degree rule is that it only applies if you intend to play the footage back at 24fps. If you intend to play it back at the recorded fame rate then the proper shutter speed is always 1/50, which on fps higher then 50 becomes 360degree even if the camera allows you to select 1/50 at say 120fps recording. This is why so many people screw up videos with recorded and playback set above 24fps.
what?
THUMB PRO 4K ALL THE WAY GYRO DATA....DONT NEED NO $400 CAMERA , SOFTWARE CLEAN EVERTHING UP....GREAT CHOICE BRO.
