CX-150 slow motion

[mchamp 1]

So there is a function within the CX-150 that will capture (I believe 5 or so secs) and play it back in slow-mo and was wondering if there is any particular way that Hypoxic or any other company could potentially work this into their HYPEYE D PRO function of some sort? Or even just create something that would allow the device to activate the slow motion record option?

Anyone have any insight/ideas/clues on how to potentially activate/capture slow motion while in freefall?

Why would you use that function in freefall, why not just edit the slomo later?

I've played around with that slowmo option on a HC5, IMO it's pretty useless, especially for skydiving.

Also, making the hype-eye more complex isn't what most skydivers want: we'd prefer less complex! Just on/off would be good (like the cam-eye), as many of us have run into the hype-eye doing stuff we don't want it to

I feel as if its a more stable quality image as opposed to simply editing it and making it slow mo. Less detail would be lost I believe.

The slow motion function has only a burst of 5 or so sec, but within those 5 sec more detail is recorded to the CMOS sensor therefore producing a higher quality video(not that it would matter AS much burned to a dvd, but more so on a file on a comp).

Definitely got a point there regarding simplicity though IMO

Actually, you LOSE resolution, depending on the length of the slow mo. If your NLE can't do good slo mo resampling, then I'd suggest using a tool like Twixtor.
You do gain very smooth motion in-camera. You lose resolution. So...if your argument is one of resolution vs smooth...resolution loses.

Sure... unless you can get a Phantom camera to jump and then things look really nice
