MisterCrash 0 #1 August 12, 2009 I'm thinking about trying out a static 35mm adapter on my videocamera to shoot during freefall. Has anyone tried this and can give me tips on how to focus on my object? Also what would be a good lens to do this with, should I go superwide and fly close? If I have to rely on my flying skillz to focus it will take ages to get the right shot.All speeding past collide and crashing, I'm in paradise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #2 August 12, 2009 If you're thinking of a Brevis, Letus, RedRock Micro, etc....then it'll take forever to get the right shot, because you'll have to rely entirely on your flying skills. Flying close, going superwide and closing down your aperture will give you effectively the same result as you're going to get without the adapter.

MisterCrash 0 #3 August 12, 2009 I was afraid of that. But I'm still gonna play around with it, if it doesn't work I can still do awesome ground shots. And if I do accidently get some good shots, I'll be shure to put em on here :)All speeding past collide and crashing, I'm in paradise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #4 August 12, 2009 If the adapter has a spinning glass plate ala RedRock Micro or Letus, I'd be concerned about vibration and wind hitting the plate. Yes, extreme shallow DOF is beautiful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
